In the present paper, the redesign of a transonic rotor was performed by means of a three-dimensional viscous inverse design method. The inverse approach used in this work is one where the pressure loading, blade thickness distribution and stacking axis are specified and the camber surface is calculated accordingly
As a result, it was possible to develop guidelines for the aerodynamic design of transonic rotors that can be exploited for similar design applications.
In this publication, you will:
- Discover the Inverse Design technics to redesign a transonic compressor rotor and why such an approach is particularly effective for this type of design.
- See how to gain a good understanding of the effects of the single design modifications on the flow field and how to develop design guidelines for the control of the rotor performance at design and off-design conditions.
- Understand why such an approach leads to a substantial reduction of the computational cost.
