For the CFD-driven shape optimization of water pumps with shrouded impellers, it is crucial to have an efficient variable geometry model with a set of relevant parameters (“design variables”). Let’s briefly illustrate and outline the modeling process of a typical…
Variable Geometry for Endwall Contouring of Turbines and Compressors
CAESES allows turbomachinery designers to create efficient parametric geometry for endwall contouring, in order to optimize not only the blades but also the hub surfaces.
