What's inside?
In this paper, a method aimed to reduce the development time of an automotive blower is investigated. The objectives are to improve the efficiency, to reduce the losses and flow unsteadiness. Wheel and volute performances are analysed on an existing geometry, and results are used to specify targets for a 3D inverse design method.
In this publication, you will:
- Learn about the difficulties of automotive blowers and the challenges faced when trying to improve the design
- Understand how coupling an Inverse Design method with numerical analysis affected the development process
- Discover how TURBOdesign1 and TURBOdesign Volute combined to achieve significant improvements in wheel performance
