1. Introduction


This document contains information about the paper "Fluid Flow Topology
Optimization in PolyTop: Stability and Computational Implementation" 
(Pereira et al. 2016). Both the source code and the paper can be downloaded
from http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00158-014-1182-z.

The code presented here requires some basic knowledge of the original
PolyTop written for compliance minimization in elasticity (Talisch et al.
2012b). Both the source code and the paper can be downloaded
from http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00158-011-0696-x.


2. Getting started 

- Go to http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00158-014-1182-z and download the
supplementary material;

- Extract the file to your preferred directory;

- Start up Matlab and define as the Current directory the one you
extracted from the supplementary material;

- Run the default Diffuser problem by calling "PolyScript" in
the Matlab command line.
