In this paper a numerical approach for the optimization of stirrer configurations is presented. The methodology is based on a flow solver, and a mathematical optimization tool, which are integrated into an automated procedure. The flow solver is based on the discretization of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations by means of a fully conservative finite-volume method for block-structured, boundary-fitted grids, for allowing a flexible discretization of complex stirrer geometries. Two derivative free optimization algorithms, the DFO and CONDOR are considered, they are implementations of trust region based derivative-free methods using multivariate polynomial interpolation. Both are designed to minimize smooth functions whose evaluations are considered to be expensive and whose derivatives are not available or not desirable to approximate. An exemplary application for a standard stirrer configuration illustrates the functionality and the properties of the proposed methods. It also gives a comparison of the two optimization algorithms.

Numerical method for optimizing stirrer configurations
Schafer, M; Karasözen, Bülent; Uludağ, Yusuf; YAPICI, KEREM; Uğur, Ömür (2005-12-15)
A numerical approach for the numerical optimization of stirrer configurations is presented. The methodology is based on a parametrized grid generator, a flow solver, and a mathematical optimization tool, which are integrated into an automated procedure. The flow solver is based on the discretization of the Navier-Stokes equations by means of the finite-volume method for block-structured, boundary-fitted grids with multi-grid acceleration and parallelization by grid partitioning. The optimization tool is an ...
Derivative free algorithms for large scale non-smooth optimization and their applications
Tor, Ali Hakan; Karasözen, Bülent; Department of Mathematics (2013)
In this thesis, various numerical methods are developed to solve nonsmooth and in particular, nonconvex optimization problems. More specifically, three numerical algorithms are developed for solving nonsmooth convex optimization problems and one algorithm is proposed to solve nonsmooth nonconvex optimization problems. In general, main differences between algorithms of smooth optimization are in the calculation of search directions, line searches for finding step-sizes and stopping criteria. However, in nonsmoo...
Derivative free optimization of stirrer configurations
Schaefer, M.; Karasözen, Bülent; Uğur, Ömür; Yapici, K. (2005-07-01)
In the present work a numerical approach for the optimization of stirrer configurations is presented. The methodology is based on a parametrized grid generator, a flow solver, and a mathematical optimization tool, which are integrated into an automated procedure. The grid generator allows the parametrized generation of block-structured grids for the stirrer geometries. The flow solver is based on the discretization of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations by means of a fully conservative finite-volume ...
Discrete gradient method: Derivative-free method for nonsmooth optimization
Bagirov, A. M.; Karasözen, Bülent; Sezer, M. (2008-05-01)
A new derivative-free method is developed for solving unconstrained nonsmooth optimization problems. This method is based on the notion of a discrete gradient. It is demonstrated that the discrete gradients can be used to approximate subgradients of a broad class of nonsmooth functions. It is also shown that the discrete gradients can be applied to find descent directions of nonsmooth functions. The preliminary results of numerical experiments with unconstrained nonsmooth optimization problems as well as th...
Convergence acceleration based on convergence error estimation
Eyi, Sinan (2013-01-01)
New methods are developed for convergence error estimation and convergence acceleration in iteratively solved problems. The convergence error estimation method is based on the eigenvalue analysis of linear systems, but it can also be used for nonlinear systems. Newton's method is used to estimate the magnitude and the phase angle of eigenvalues. The convergence of iterative method is accelerated by subtracting convergence error from the iteratively calculated solutions. The performances of these methods are...
