An automatic aerodynamic optimization system for axial compressor was constructed
which was composed of turbomachinery flow field simulations in3-D Navier-Stokes equation methods
grid automatic generations
parameterizations of blade profiles
meridional channels and stacking line and the advanced parallel genetic algorithm based on intranet.In construction of objective functions
design point adiabatic efficiency
mass flow rates
pressure ratio and non-design point mass flow rates was considered.NASArotor67 was redesigned using the optimization system
and the present method successfully obtained a design that improved adiabatic efficiency by 0.5% compared with the rotor67 while satisfying mass flow rate and pressure ratio.
