Development of a Three-Dimensional Geometry Optimization Method for Turbomachinery Applications

This article describes the development of a method for optimization of the geometry of three-dimensional turbine blades within a stage configuration. The method is based on flow simulations and gradient-based optimization techniques. This approach uses the fully parameterized blade geometry as varia...
