Implicit geometric representation of gas turbine blades for optimal shape design

This work is concerned with the development and integration of two geometric representations of turbine blade profiles that are appropriate for aerodynamic optimization. The first model is the Modified Rapid Axial Turbine Design (MRATD) model where the blade is represented by five low-order curves t...
