The development and application of a three-dimensional inverse methodology is presented for the design of turbomachinery blades. The method is based on the mass-averaged swirl, rV~θ distribution and computes the necessary blade changes directly from the discrepancies between the target and initial distributions. The flow solution and blade modification converge simultaneously giving the final blade geometry and the corresponding steady state flow solution. The flow analysis is performed using a cell-vertex finite volume time-marching algorithm employing the multistage Runge-Kutta integrator in conjunction with accelerating techniques (local time stepping and grid sequencing). To account for viscous effects, dissipative forces are included in the Euler solver using the log-law and mixing length models. The design method can be used with any existing solver solving the same flow equations without any modifications to the blade surface wall boundary condition. Validation of the method has been carried out using a transonic annular turbine nozzle and NASA rotor 67. Finally, the method is demonstrated on the re-design of the blades.

Fairings are provided to cover hypersonic air breathing vehicle to protect it from adverse aerodynamic loading and kinetic heating. Separation dynamics of fairings is an important event in the launch of vehicle. Extensive computational fluid dynamics simulations are carried out for the design of fairings and vehicle and selection of time sequences of various separation events. A ground test of fairing separation is conducted in the sled facility to check the structural integrity and functionality of various separation mechanisms and flight hardware. Simulations have been carried out to study the separation dynamics of fairings at test conditions using grid-free Euler solver to get the aerodynamic loads and the loads are integrated to get the trajectory of fairings. The aerodynamic loads are provided to verify the structural integrity of various components and the trajectory of panels is used in the test planning. The pressure distributions on the vehicle are compared with the test results.
