This book was released on 2018 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An aerodynamic inverse shape design of turbomachinery blading in three-dimensional viscous flow is developed and implemented into a commercial CFD program, namely ANSYS-CFX. The design method is based on specifying one blade parameter, the stacking condition that is a line from hub to tip, and two other flow parameters these can be a- a target pressure distribution over the blade suction surface (or a target pressure loading) and a blade thickness distribution, b- or target pressure distributions on pressure and suction surfaces. This inverse design approach is fully consistent with the viscous flow assumption and is independent of the CFD approach taken. The blade walls are assumed to be moving with a virtual velocity that would asymptotically drive the blade to the shape that would correspond to the specified target pressure distribution. This virtual velocity distribution is computed from the difference between the computed and the target pressure distributions. The wall displacement is computed in a Junction Box Routine and communicated to ANSYS-CFX using CFX Expression Language and User Defined Functions at each design step. In ANSYS-CFX, an element based finite volume formulation is used for space discretization. The Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation of the unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes (URANS) equations is solved in a time accurate fashion with the blade motion being the source of unsteadiness. At each time step, the blade shape is modified and dynamic meshing is used to remesh the fluid flow domain. The implementation is first validated on a transonic rotor blade; the capability, robustness and accuracy of the method in satisfying the design target are then assessed on a single subsonic stator blade row, the rotor blade of an axial compressor stage and, the rotor and stator blades of an axial turbine stage where different choices of the design variables are used. The method is finally implemented to the redesign of a transonic compressor stage, a subsonic axial compressor stage and a turbine stage so as to improve their aerodynamic performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was confined to large organisations capable of developing and supporting their own codes. But recently there has been a rapid increase in the availability of reasonably priced commercial codes, and many more industrial organisations are now able to routinely use CFD. Advances of CFD in Fluid Machinery Design provide the perfect opportunity to find out what industry is doing and this book addresses how CFD is now being increasingly used in the design process, rather than as a post-design analysis tool.

Download or read book Optimization Routine for Compressor Design Using Commercial Software written by Naval Postgraduate Naval Postgraduate School and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-07 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous research at Naval Postgraduate School produced a design procedure for generating gas compressor rotor models using commercial software. This design procedure was improved upon by parameterizing the blade profiles as quadratic functions of axial distance and chord location. An objective function for compressor performance using pressure ratio, efficiency, and massflow was formulated, which applied a holistic view of quantifying the value of a compressor design. An optimization algorithm was implemented within the procedure to seek an optimal design by generating a CAD model, performing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis, and iterating the design function constants toward an optimal solution. The routine found an optimal compressor design; however, inconsistencies in the CFD solution data prevented the routine from finding the expected global maximum.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aerodynamic shape optimization of axial gas turbines in three dimensional flow is addressed. An effective and practical shape parameterization strategy for turbine stages is introduced to minimize the adverse effects of three-dimensional flow features on the turbine performance. The optimization method combines a genetic algorithm (GA), with a Response Surface Approximation (RSA) of the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) type. During the optimization process, the individual objectives and constraints are approximated using ANN that is trained and tested using a few three-dimensional CFD ow simulations; the latter are obtained using the commercial CFD package Ansys-Fluent. To minimize three-dimensional effects, the stator and rotor stacking curves are taken as the design variable. They are parametrically represented using a quadratic rational Bezier curve (QRBC) whose parameters are directly and explicitly related to the blade lean, sweep and bow, which are used as the design variables. In addition, a noble representation of the stagger angle in the spanwise direction is introduced. The described strategy was applied to optimize the performance of the E/TU-3 axial turbine stage which is designed and tested in Germany. The optimization objectives introduced the isentropic efficiency and the streamwise vorticity, subject to some constraints. This optimization strategy proved to be successful, fexible and practical, and resulted in remarkable improvements in stage performance.

Download or read book Application of an Inverse Design Procedure to Axial Compressor Blading written by Mohamed Zedan and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A blade-to-blade inverse design procedure is presented for use in a quasi-3-D design system for multistage axial flow compressors. The procedure is applicable to transonic rotor and stator airfoil sections along axisymmetric stream surfaces. It accounts for the streamtube thickness and radius variations, and can be used in the analysis, fully inverse, and mixed inverse modes. Steady state Euler equations are implemented and formulated in terms of density and local displacement normal to streamline as dependent variables. Three test cases are presented in this paper to illustrate the application of this inverse design technique for optimizing rotor and stator airfoils of highly loaded, high pressure ratio compressor stages. These test cases demonstrate the capability of this procedure to optimize airfoil geometry for minimizing shock and diffusion losses without compromising the airfoil structural integrity.

The book includes sufficient detail for readers to implement all or part of the systems. The author provides practical and effective design strategies for applying both turbine types, which are illustrated by design examples. Comparisons with experimental results are included to demonstrate the prediction accuracy to be expected. This book is intended for practicing engineers concerned with the design and development of turbines and related machinery.
