Topology-free optimization – an application to turbine internal cooling geometries

This work is more related to CFD optimization which can change the topology of the structure, than topology optimization (link). Hence the name is topology-free optimization, to denote that it can change the topology. An integrated approach is followed where one software can perform many steps of CFD optimization that was necessary before. The package is called BOXER. The mesher part of the software is now developed enough to be a commercial product. It uses octree data structure and is very fast.
