Abstract :
Abstract.In this paper, we study the Casimir effect of a scalar eld with Dirichlet boundary
condition in some certain topologies. By numerical analysis we show that Casimir energy is a
shape-dependent quantity. We also obtain the phase transition in different topologies in which
the Casimir force changes from attractive to repulsive or vice versa.
