Abstract: Automatic optimization techniques have been used in recent years for the aerodynamic and mechanical design of turbomachine components. Despite the many advantages, their use is usually limited ...

Abstract: The turbomachine industry is increasingly interested in developing automated design procedures that are able to summarize current design experience, to take into account manufacturing limitations ...

Abstract: The present paper describes the parametric design of a mixed-flow water-jet pump. The pump impeller and diffuser geometries were parameterized by means of an inverse design method, while CFD ...
