Codrignani, A. (author), Savio, D. (author), Pastewka, L. (author), Frohnapfel, B. (author), van Ostayen, R.A.J. (author)In this work we assess the applicability of the adjoint optimization technique for determining optimal surface topographies of two surfaces in relative motion in presence of a thin lubricant films that can cavitate. Among the existing numerical tools for topology optimization in engineering problems, the adjoint method represents a promising...journal article 2020
