ABSTRACT:
This presentation illustrates the implementation of a design-by-analysis approach in a modern, fully integrated design environment, illustrated by examples of compressor and turbine designs for small gasoline engines. Automated, numerical optimization is an emerging technology that can be deployed within such a system on several levels to eliminate much of the manual iteration and its usefulness and implementation is also described. Also, some illustrations of higher-fidelity simulation are included and their role in the design process explained.
Future prospects will be discussed: to what extent can an empirical background in turbomachinery design become redundant in the designs of new machines? What remain the major technical challenges for the developers of advanced design and analysis techniques?
