TURBOdesign Optima

Multi-Point, Multi-Disciplinary and Multi-Objective Turbomachinery Design Optimization

Design of Experiments, Kriging  and Response Surface Modelling based multi-point / multi-objective and multi-disciplinary turbomachinery design optimization.

 

Why Multi-Disciplinary Optimization?

TURBOdesign Optima supports state-of-the-art multi-point, multi-disciplinary and multi-objective optimization routines and direct coupling with most common CAE environments from ANSYS and SIEMENS.

 

Products-Multi-Point-Multi-Objective-Design

Ideal method for multi-point / multi-objective design

This approach employs the key features of 3D inverse design to provide designers with a computationally effective way to explore the design space and identify solutions for complex turbomachinery design optimization challenges.

Products-Pumps-Compressors-Problems

Example of Problems

Pumps:Good stall performance, Good stage efficency, Required minimum shut off head, Required maximum power (motor size), Good caviation performance at High flow rate.

Compressors: Good effciency, Improved stable operating range, Stress requirements, Vibration requiements.

Products-Key-Advantages

Key advantages

This approach works best for lower number of design parameters. Using inverse design based parametrization one can typically cover a large part of the design space with as low as 5 design parameters.

● When an accurate Response surface is obtained then MOGA can be run on the Response Surface as a simple polynomial evaluation allowing Pareto Front being generated for different design objectives subject to various constraints.

Products-Accurate-Response-Surface

Obtain an accurate Response Surface

The key to this approach is obtaining an accurate Response Surface. The blade loading being an aerodynamic / hydrodynamic (input) parameter it has a closer relationship with the aerodynamic / hydrodynamic performance than a geometrical input parameter; this greatly enhances accuracy of the response surface to levels generally higher than R2 of 95%.
