Abstract: The objective of the research described here is to develop and demonstrate use of automatic design methods for preswirl nozzles. Performance of preswirled cooling air delivery systems depends ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with robust aerodynamic design of compressor blades against erosion. The proposed approach combines a multiobjective genetic algorithm with geometry modeling methods, ...

Abstract: A linear design system, already in use for the forward and inverse design of three-dimensional turbine aerofoils, has been extended for the design of their end walls. This paper shows how ...
