Aerodynamic shape optimization of fan blades

The purpose of this work is to develop and evaluate an inverse optimization algorithm which designs two-dimensional fan blade shapes. Given a prescribed pressure distribution and inlet and outlet flow angles, this design optimization technique finds the optimal fan blade shape, stagger angle, and p...
