Abstract Fans are used in industrial refineries, power generation, petrochemistry, pollution control, etc. These fans can perform in sometimes extreme, mission-critical conditions. The design of fans has historically relied on turbomachinery affinity laws, resulting in oversized machines that are expensive to manufacture and transport. With the increasingly lower CPU cost of fluid modeling, designers can now turn to CFD optimization to produce the necessary machine performance and flow conditions while respecting manufacturing constraints. The objective of this study is to maximize the pressure rise across an industrial fan while respecting manufacturing constraints. First, a 3D scan of the baseline impeller is used to create the CFD model and validated against experimental data. The baseline impeller geometry is then parameterized with 21 free parameters driving the shape of the hub, shroud, blade lean and camber. A fully automated optimization process is conducted using Numeca’s Fine™/Design3D software, allowing for a CPU-efficient Design Of Experiment (DOE) database generation and a surrogate model using the powerful Minamo optimization kernel and data-mining tool. The optimized impeller coupled with a CFD-aided redesigned volute showed an increase in overall pressure rise over the whole performance line, up to 24% at higher mass flow rates compared to the baseline geometry.

This article elaborates the concept of splitter vanes in controlling secondary flow. Secondary flow vortices are formed by the rotation of vorticity filaments, located in the endwall boundary layers, as the filaments move through the passage. The connection between the number of stators and the secondary kinetic energy suggests that the only way to significantly reduce the mixing loss is to increase the number of blades in the row. The designs evaluated were produced with fast turn-around computational fluid dynamics (10 minutes per solution) and automated optimization techniques. Experimental tests showed that the theory was correct, and that by increasing vane count, the secondary kinetic energy was reduced by up to 80%.

The present contribution proposes a Reduced Order Model based multi-fidelity optimization methodology for the design of highly loaded blades in low pressure compressors. Environmental, as well as, economical limitations applied to engine manufacturers make the design of modern turbofans an extremely complex task. A smart compromise has to be found to guarantee both a high efficiency and a high average stage loading imposed for mass reduction constraints, while satisfying stability requirements. The design of compressor blades, usually involves at the same time a dedicated parametrization set-up in highdimensional space and high-fidelity simulations capturing, at least, efficiency and stability as most impacting phenomena. Despite recent advances in the high-performance computing area, introducing high-fidelity simulations into automated optimization, or even surrogate assisted optimization, loops still stands as a endeavor for engineers. In this framework, the proposed methodology is based on multi-fidelity surrogate models capable of representing the physics at hand in reduced spaces inferred from both precise, albeit costly, high-fidelity simulations and abundant, yet less accurate lower-fidelity data. Finally, we investigate the coupling of the proposed hierarchised multi-fidelity non-intrusive Proper Orthogonal Decomposition based surrogates with an evolutionary algorithm to reduce the number of high-fidelity simulation calls towards the targeted optimum.
