Figure Legend:
Reproduction of the Tesla valve created using topology optimization (Re = 100; Da = 4.4 × 10–7; WF = 0; Rmin = 0.25 L). The white circle shows projection diameter and the red lines represents streamlines of reverse flow. (a) Pentagon design domain with inclined inlet and outlet. (b) Optimization result using projection method on fluid phase. (c) Demonstration of mesh independency of projection method. Projection radius: L/5; mesh size: L/6 (left) and L/20 (right).
