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 performance of design optimization are evaluated. Sensitivity derivatives are obtained using finite differencing. The method is demonstrated with several examples at transonic flow conditions. © 2000 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Inc. All rights reserved.

Turbine blade shape aerodynamic design using artificial intelligence Oksuz, Ozhan; Akmandor, Ibrahim Sinan (2005-06-09) 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 solve...
Computer-aided optimum design of steel tubular telescopic pole structures Dicleli, Murat (1997-03-01) This paper presents a computer-aided approach for the optimum design of steel tubular telescopic pole structures. The author's experience in steel pole structure's design is implemented in a computer program called ODAPS (optimum design and analysis of pole structures). Although several other computer programs exist for the analysis and design of steel tubular pole structures, they are limited to cases where dimensions are pre-defined by the user. Different from these conventional programs, the developed pr...
Aerodynamic shape optimization of wind turbine blades using a 2-D panel method with a boundary layer solver and a Genetic Algorithm Polat, Ozge; Sezer-uzol, Nilay; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (null; 2012-12-01) This paper presents an aerodynamic shape optimization methodology for rotor blades of horizontal axis wind turbines. Genetic Algorithm and Blade Element Momentum (BEM) Theory are implemented for maximization of the power production at a given wind speed, rotor speed and rotor diameter. The potential flow solver with a boundary layer model, XFOIL, provides sectional aerodynamic loads. Optimization variables are selected as the sectional chord length, the sectional twist and the blade profiles at root, mid an...
An electromagnetic micro energy harvester based on an array of parylene cantilevers Sari, Ibrahim; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Külah, Haluk (IOP Publishing, 2009-10-01) This paper presents the design, optimization and implementation of an electromagnetic type vibration-to-electrical micro energy harvester. The proposed harvester implements a new design employing array of parylene cantilevers on which planar gold coils are fabricated. The micro harvester generates voltage by virtue of the relative motion between the coils and a stationary magnet. The coils are connected electrically in series to sum up the voltage output from individual cantilevers. The number of cantilever...
Design optimization of a mixed-flow compressor impeller for a small turbojet engine Cevik, Mert; Uzol, Oğuz (2011-01-01) Purpose - This paper aims to present the results of a design optimization study for the impeller of a small mixed-flow compressor. The objective of the optimization is to obtain an impeller geometry that could minimize a cost function based on the specific thrust and the thrust specific fuel consumption of a small turbojet engine.
