Data points for response evaluations were selected by improved distributed hypercube sampling (IHS) and the 3-D Navier-Stokes analysis was carried out at these sample points. The quadratic response surface model was used to approximate the relationships between the design variables and flow parameters. To maximize the adiabatic efficiency, the genetic algorithm was applied to the response surface model to perform global optimization to achieve the optimum design of NASA Stage 35. An optimum leading edge line was found, which produced a new 3-D rotor blade combined with sweep and lean, and a new stator one with skew. It is concluded that the proposed strategy can provide a reliable method for design optimization of turbomachinery blades at reasonable computing cost.展开更多

The POD basis modes have better description performance in a system space compared to the widely used semi-empirical basis functions because they are obtained through singular value decomposition of the system.Instead of the widely used linear regression, nonlinear regression methods are used in the function response of the coefficients of POD basis modes. Moreover, an adaptive Latin hypercube design method with improved space filling and correlation based on a multi-objective optimization approach was employed to supply the necessary samples. Prior to design optimization, the response performance of POD-based hybrid models was first investigated and validated through flow reconstructions of both single-and multiple blade rows. Then, an inverse design was performed to approach a given spanwise flow turning distribution at the outlet of a turbine blade by changing the spanwise stagger angle, based on the hybrid model method. Finally, the span wise blade sweep of a transonic compressor rotor and the spanwise stagger angle of the stator blade of a single low-speed compressor stage were modified to reduce the flow losses with the constraints of mass flow rate, total pressure ratio, and outlet flow turning.The results are presented in detail, demonstrating the good response performance of POD-based hybrid models on missing data reconstructions and the effectiveness of POD-based hybrid model method in aerodynamic design optimization.展开更多

In order to overcome the disadvantages of vertical axis wind turbine, a straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine （S-VAWT） with a directed guide vane row has been proposed and tested by the authors. According to previous studies, it was clarified that the performance of the turbine can be improved by means of the directed guide vane row. However, the guide vane geometry of S-VAWT has not been optimized so far. In order to clarify the effect of guide vanegeometry, the effects of setting angle and gap between rotor blade and guide vane on power coefticlent and start- ing characteristic were investigated in the experiments. The experimental study of the proposed wind turbine was carried out by a wind tunnel. The wind tunnel with a diameter of 1.8m is open jet type. The wind velocity is 8 m/s in the experiments. The rotor has three straight blades with a profile of NACA0018 and a chord length of 100 mm, a diameter of 0.6 m and a blade height of 0.7 m. The guide vane row consists of 3 arc plates.展开更多
