In this study, a new inverse design method called Elastic Surface Algorithm (ESA) is developed and enhanced for axial-flow compressor blade design in subsonic and transonic flow regimes with separation. ESA is a physically based iterative inverse design method that uses a 2D flow analysis code to estimate the pressure distribution on the solid structure, i.e. airfoil, and a 2D solid beam finite element code to calculate the deflections due to the difference between the calculated and target pressure distributions. In order to enhance the ESA, the wall shear stress distribution, besides pressure distribution, is applied to deflect the shape of the airfoil. The enhanced method is validated through the inverse design of the rotor blade of the first stage of an axial-flow compressor in transonic viscous flow regime. In addition, some design examples are presented to prove the effectiveness and robustness of the method. The results of this study show that the enhanced Elastic Surface Algorithm is an effective inverse design method in flow regimes with separation and normal shock.

A method for solving inverse three-dimensional problems in hydromechanics is proposed which makes it possible to fit desired pressure distributions within design constraints immediately in the course of calculations. Examples of the method of application are given for bodies of revolution in flows at nonzero drift angles. These flows are not axisymmetric. Bodies of revolution in them are very handy examples of demonstrations of the method, and these examples have many technical applications.

AbstractThe solution for the flow of an incompressible fluid past an infinitely long wedge with a finite sloping edge (a finite wedge) is generalized by the hodograph method. In the flow thus obtained the axis of symmetry and a sloping edge of the wedge are again part of one streamline. It becomes possible to describe the flow of an ideal gas past a finite wedge if the hypothesis is made that the first singularity on this streamline, along the sloping edge, corresponds to the shoulder of the wedge. For a given wedge, with gradually increasing velocity at infinity upstream, the singularity appears at first at subsonic velocity. Beyond a certain critical velocity at infinity the singularity is always associated with the speed of sound. The hypothesis thus implies that put forward by Maccoll(9) and supported by Busemann(l). A qualitative examination shows that the solution reproduces experimentally known features of the flow of compressible fluid past a finite wedge.

AbstractWe present an outline of the problem of irrotational compressible flow past an airfoil at speeds that lie somewhere between those of the supersonic flight of the Concorde and the subsonic flight of commercial airlines. The problem is simplified and the important role of modifying the equations with physics terms is examined.

AbstractTransonic flow past a Whitcomb airfoil and two modifications of it at Reynolds numbers of the order of ten millions is studied. The numerical modeling is based on the system of Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. The flow simulations show that variations of the lift coefficient versus the angle of attack become more abrupt with decreasing curvature of the airfoil in the midchord region. This is caused by an instability of closely spaced local supersonic regions on the upper surface of the airfoil.
