Modern turbofan engines are designed with pressure ratios as high as 40 and with bypass ratios in excess of 8. Multiple spools with substantial radial offset are essential to achieve the desired design and off-design performance and s-shaped ducts are necessary to deliver the flo ...
This paper first reviews the application of design optimization techniques to axial compressor blade design, commenting on the feasibility of this approach for highly constrained, highly dimensional problems. It then analyzes an innovative method to characterize the design space, ...
