Shape optimization of regenerative flow compressor with aero-foil type blades using response surface methodology coupled with CFD

Topology optimization of compressible subsonic flow considering turbulence and real gases.

“…At turbomachinery applications, (Samad and Kim 2008) optimizes the fluid flow performance of a transonic axial compressor rotor by managing the total pressure and adiabatic efficiency as objective functions and modelling the fluid flow through the compressor annulus using the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations. Nejadali (2021) focuses on the aerofoil compressors improvement by controlling the isothermal efficiency and the pressure coefficient as objective functions, which leads to trailing edge angles improvements of 3.17% compared to the reference case. Guo (2013) optimizes the return channel of a centrifugal compressor by means of the adjoint method derived for incompressible laminar flow and applied in a compressible turbulent regime.…”
