Abstract: A method is presented for automating compressor blade design using numerical optimization and is applied to the design of a controlled diffusion stator blade row. A general purpose optimization ...

Abstract: Several low-area-ratio jet pumps were evaluated experimentally in water. Principal geometrical variables investigated were area ratio, throat length, and nozzle spacing. Diffuser geometry was also ...

Abstract: A transonic compressor stage has been designed for the Naval Postgraduate School Turbopropulsion Laboratory. The design relied heavily on CFD techniques while minimizing conventional empirical ...

Abstract: The midspan section of a previously reported controlled-diffusion compressor stator has been experimentally evaluated in cascade. Measurements were taken over a range of incidence angles for blade ...

Abstract: A unique set of wind tunnel guide vanes are designed with an inverse design code and analyzed with a panel method and an integral boundary layer code developed at the NASA Lewis Research ...
