contents Efficiently enhancing heat conduction through optimized distribution of a limited quantity of high thermal conductivity material is paramount in cooling electronic devices and numerous other applications. This paper introduces a target-driven all-at-once approach for PDE-constrained optimization and derives a splitting smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method for optimizing the distribution of thermal conductivity in heat conduction problems. In this method, the optimization iteration of the system is split into several easily addressed steps. A targeting step is employed to progressively enforce the direct target, which potentially leads to increased PDE residuals. Then, these residuals are recovered through an evolution step of the design variable. After this, a PDE solution step is carried out to further decrease the PDE residuals, and the system is ready for the next iteration. Unlike the simulation-based approaches, the present method does not rely on the adjoint state equation and converged state variable field in each iteration, and the optimization process is significantly simplified and accelerated. With the utilization of an implicit SPH splitting operator and a general numerical regularization formulation, the information propagation is further accelerated and the numerical stability is greatly enhanced. Typical examples of heat conduction optimization demonstrate that the current method yields optimal results comparable to previous methods and exhibits considerable computational efficiency. Moreover, the optimal results feature more moderate extreme values, which offers distinct advantages for the easier selection of appropriate material with high thermal conductivity.
