Dear both,

Thanks for the guide. 

I am trying the adjoint solver now, and here is the test result of how mesh morphed to minimise flow from left to righ.

The sensitivity and displacement are focused on the bifurcated / diverging zones, which is only a small fine-tuning by the adjoint optimisation. 

I expected there may be a more significant changes in shape. e.g. twisting in the circular bending to create greater resisitance. 

So is adjoint solver optimisation just rely on the sensitivity detected in the areas where gradient are the most significant? or should I aim for a topology optimisation instead? How can it be done on Ansys?

Thanks for answering!
