Mesh Dependence in Pde-Constrained Optimisation: An Application in Tidal Turbine Array Layouts

by David A. Ham, Simon W. Funke, Tobias Schwedes

This book provides an introduction to PDE-constrained optimisation using finite elements and the adjoint approach. The practical impact of the mathematical insights presented here are demonstrated using the realistic scenario of the optimal placement of marine power turbines, thereby illustrating the real-world relevance of best-practice Hilbert space aware approaches to PDE-constrained optimisation problems.

Many optimisation problems that...
