This paper introduces a method to optimize propeller fans using a three-dimensional inverse design technique. The process involves enhancing the performance of a previously developed propeller fan through variations in vortex distribution, blade surface pressure loading and stacking during optimization.

In this paper, a methodology for High-temperature heat pumps (HTHP) centrifugal compressor design is presented. The heat pump cycle analysis and the compressor meanline design are coupled in the initial phase to study the selection of refrigerants and their impact on compressor design. Following this, the impeller was designed using a 3D inverse design method.

In this webinar, we’ll show the novel design and optimisation strategy coupling the 3D inverse approach and DoE study that is developed to design a transonic centrifugal impeller. The redesigned compressor has better efficiency across most parts of the map, and the maximum pressure ratio is also slightly improved.

In this webinar, we will review major new features and enhancements in TURBOdesign Suite 2024R1 release. A notable feature of the new release is a new manufacturing modification feature that can enable flow trimming and radial trimming and you'll learn how you can set up a heat pump problem from scratch in TURBOdesign Pre new cycle code.

In this webinar, attendees will witness how the inverse design method creates the blade geometry based on specific blade loading parameters and spanwise work distribution requirements. You will also discover how a fast design optimization process focused on suppressing the dominant loss mechanisms without adversely impacting the blade stress. 

Turntide has been using ADT’s TURBOdesign Suite for several years to improve product efficiency and reduce costs in their engineering design process. In this case study, we examine how the implementation of TURBOdesign has positively impacted Turntide’s operations, specifically in the design of fans and pumps.

In this paper, the application of the method and the process of arriving at optimum blade loading in various applications is described with reference to the flow physics.

This joint webinar by Advanced Design Technology and Gamma Technologies presents a novel methodology that uses a system-level simulation platform (GT-SUITE) to create a complete vehicle model and simulate the performance of a fuel cell powered truck in order to obtain the key compressor operating points. 

In this webinar, the design of a high specific speed mixed-flow diffuser pump will be carried out in a parametric way, where an inverse design method is used to parametrically describe the impeller and diffuser geometries, and CFD analyses are performed to analyze the performance of the different design configurations.
