This paper describes a fast, efficient, robust, and automated design method used to aerodynamically optimize 3D gas turbine blade shapes implementing artificial intelligence. The design objectives are maximizing the aerodynamic efficiency and torque so as to reduce the weight and size and cost of the gas turbine engine. The procedure described here will allow a rapid, practical and low cost design that will answer the need of gas turbine industry. A 3-Dimensional steady Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes solver is coupled with an automated unstructured grid generation tool. The solver is verified using two well known test cases. Blade geometry is modeled by 36 design variables plus the number of blades variable in a row. A genetic algorithm is used for global optimization purposes. One of the test cases is selected as the baseline and is modified by the design process. It was found that the efficiency can be improved from 83.9% to 85.9%, and the torque can be improved as much as 7.6%. The flow field investigations indicate enhanced secondary flow characteristics of the blade passage.

A Command Generation Approach for Desktop Fused Filament Fabrication 3D Printers
Yaman, Ulaş; Dölen, Melik (2016-10-27)
This study develops a novel command generation paradigm for desktop fused filament fabrication 3D printers. In the conventional approach, designed artifact in CAD software is saved as an STL file, which is still a de-facto file standard in the field, and then imported into the CAM software of the corresponding 3D printer. After adjusting the printing parameters (feed rate, layer thickness, infill percentage, etc.), the G-code file is generated within the CAM software and it is transferred to the printer for...
Three-Dimensional Grain Design Optimization of Solid Rocket Motors
Yucel, Osman; Acik, Sevda; Toker, K. Atilgan; Dursunkaya, Zafer; Aksel, Mehmet Haluk (2015-06-19)
This study investigates the ballistic design optimization of three-dimensional grains of solid rocket motors (SRMs). The geometric modeling and burnback analysis of grains are performed analytically by using basic geometries like cylinder, cone, prism, sphere, ellipsoid, and torus. For the internal ballistic analysis, a quasi-steady zero-dimensional flow solver is used. Three different optimization methods are considered: real-coded genetic algorithm (GA), binary genetic algorithm and complex method. The op...
Computational design of nanoantennas with improved power enhancement capabilities via shape optimization
Işiklar, Göktuǧ; Yazar, Şirin; İbili, Hande; Onay, Gülten; El Ahdab, Zeina; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2023-01-01)
Computational design and analyses of nanoantennas obtained via surface shape optimization are presented. Starting with a kernel geometry, free deformations are applied on selected surfaces to reach optimal designs that can provide improved power enhancement capabilities at desired frequencies. An in-house implementation of genetic algorithms is efficiently combined with the multilevel fast multipole algorithm developed for accurate solutions of plasmonic problems to construct the effective optimization envi...
Turbomachinery blade design via optimization
Eyi, Sinan (2000-01-01)
This paper presents a design method for two-dimensional transonic turbine blades. It couples a Navier-Stokes flow solver and a numerical optimization algorithm to improve the aerodynamic performance of transonic turbine blades subject to specified design objective and constraints. The flow field prediction is based on the Navier-Stokes equations in order to represent accurately the nonlinear, rotational and viscous physics of turbomachinery flow fields. Effects of different design variables on the performan...
Shape Optimizations of Metallic Sheets Using a Multigrid Approach
Altinoklu, Askin; Karaova, Gokhan; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2017-09-27)
We present a novel multigrid approach for the shape optimizations of corrugated metallic sheets by using genetic algorithms (GAs) and the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). The overall mechanism is obtained by an efficient integration of GAs and MLFMA, while the optimizations are improved by applying multiple grids at different layers. We show that the multigrid approach provides more effective optimizations than the conventional no-grid optimizations that employ the discretization nodes directly....
