The numerical approximation of the optimal shape is obtained using shape optimization techniques. The flow is governed by Navier-Stokes equations. We first prove the existence of an optimal domain, and later we present the computation of the shape gradient which allows us to approximate numerically the optimal domain.}, type={artykuł}, title={Shape optimization of labyrinth seals}, keywords={shape optimization, hydraulic turbine, Navier-Stokes equations, Finite Element Method (FEM)}, }
