Abstract

We investigate a complex system involving multiple shapes to be optimized in a domain, taking into account geometric constraints on the shapes and uncertainty appearing in the physics. We connect the differential geometry of product shape manifolds with multi-shape calculus, which provides a novel framework for the handling of piecewise smooth shapes. This multi-shape calculus is applied to a shape optimization problem where shapes serve as obstacles in a system governed by steady state incompressible Navier--Stokes flow. Numerical experiments use our recently developed stochastic augmented Lagrangian method and we investigate the choice of algorithmic parameters using the example of this application.
