Combining Shape Optimization (SO) with Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) potentially offers a higher accuracy and higher computational efficiency, especially if the applied target error for AMR is reduced in the course of the optimization process. The disadvantage of that approach is that the rate of convergence of the corresponding optimization processes can be significantly lower as compared to processes which apply a fixed target error for AMR. In the present paper the so-called Multipoint Approximation Method (MAM) is used as a basis for SO in conjunction with AMR. Several techniques for improvement of the rates of convergence are presented and investigated. Firstly, alternative algorithms for determining the approximation functions using a weighted least squares method are investigated. The focus is on weights which depend on the discretization errors. Secondly, different strategies for moving and resizing the search sub-regions in the space of design variables are presented. The proposed methods are illustrated by means of several optimization problems in which the effect of AMR with changing discretization errors is modelled by artificially introduced numerical noise. |
