For most turbomachinery engineers, optimization isn’t a new idea. It’s a critical part of their workflow that can’t be overlooked. But sometimes that crucial step isn’t easy to get to.
Many of us have come to appreciate the expedience that 1D (meanline) analysis provides when scoping out a new design or revisiting a legacy design for use in a new application. However, we also know...
It is not a secret that when designing turbomachinery components there is a trade-off between the performance and durability. I challenge any aero or structural designer to highlight a geometric...
