Abstract

We present an approach to shape optimization which is based on transformation to a reference domain with continuous adjoint computations. This method is applied to the instationary Navier-Stokes equations for which we discuss the appropriate setting and discuss Fréchet differentiability of the velocity field with respect to domain transformations. Goal-oriented error estimation is used for an adaptive refinement strategy. Finally, we give some numerical results.
