geometry-parameterization

Geometry Parameterization

The complete, but efficient, description of the 3D blade shape in as few parameters as possible. This means doing away with the traditional ‘blade angle distribution’ paradigm and instead using blade loading and a 3D Inverse Design approach.

Computational Efficiency

ADT’s optimizer engine - (Reactive Response Surface)   RRS+CAE - dramatically reduces the number of high-fidelity simulation runs required to accurately explore the turbomachinery design space. Reducing cost and time by orders of magnitude, and making full 3D, multi-point, multi-objective blade shape optimization a reality on standard desktop hardware.
