Robust Shape Optimization for Artifical Blood Pumps: Hematological Design, Largescale<br />

Tr<strong>an</strong>sient Simulations, <strong>an</strong>d Influence of Constitutive Models, Sensitivity Analysis<br />

M. Lülfesm<strong>an</strong>n, C. Bischof, M. Bücker<br />

This project is part of the Priority Programme 1253 "Optimization with Partial Differential<br />

Equations" fin<strong>an</strong>ced by the DFG since July 2006. It is a joint work with the Chair for<br />

Computational Analysis of Technical Systems. In the context of shape optimization of blood<br />

pumps, we proprose to address the issue of objective functions which c<strong>an</strong> be correlated with<br />

the accumulation of blood damage <strong>an</strong>d the influence of constitutive model on the optimal<br />

shapes. The entire optimization tool chain, based on <strong>an</strong>alytically-<strong>der</strong>ived sensitivities <strong>an</strong>d<br />

adjoints, will be subjected to sensitivity <strong>an</strong>alysis with the help of automatic differentiation. It<br />

is expected that criteria for detecting inadequacies in constitutive modeling will be<br />

exemplified, e.g., by extreme sensitivity of the optimal shapes to model parameters.<br />
