Concurrent Blade Aerodynamic-Aero-elastic Design Optimization Using Adjoint Method
An original methodology proposed here makes it possible to concurrently combine traditionally separated aerodynamic and aeroelastic design optimizations for the first time. The effort has been recognised by invitation to lecture for the NATO RTO Lecture Series on Gas Turbine Design Optimization, and to give a plenary lecture at the 13th International Symposium on Unsteady Aerodynamics, Aero-elasticity and Aero-acoustics in Turbomachinery. The concept proof as demonstrated has also led to a new research grant from Siemens to further the company’s advanced blading design system. (Advanced Technologies, Siemens Industrial Gas Turbines).
