# Tandem Blade Centrifugal Compressor Design Optimization with 3D Inverse Design

Written by Ricardo Oliveira, Luying Zhang from Advanced Design Technology Ltd and M. Zangeneh University College London, UK.

## **What's inside?**

In this paper, a design workflow based on a 3D inverse design method is specifically assembled and applied to the tandem-blade design of centrifugal compressors. The blade geometry is controlled by imposing specified distributions of blade loading on tandem and main blades.

> To take the advantage of the tandem blade design, a balance between different losses is needed. The inverse design-based optimization approach can effectively explore the design space and generate good quality candidates.

### In this publication, you will:

1. **Learn** how tandem-blade centrifugal compressors can provide performance improvements in relation to conventional full blade designs.
2. **Discover** how 3D inverse design can be used to efficiently design centrifugal compressors with tandem-blade configuration.
3. **Understand** how TURBOdesign1 and optimization can be used to explore the design space in order to quickly obtain optimised tandem-blade designs.
