Adjoint method based design optimization is currently a hot topic in the field of fluid machinery
which has the advantage that the computation cost is almost independent of the number of design variables. In view of that few efforts in previous researches have been devoted to the inverse aerodynamic design of cascades with flow separation by means of the adjoint method
an optimization method for aerodynamic inverse problem of cascade
which includes blade geometry parameterization
grid generation
flow solving
adjoint field solving and optimizing
is proposed. From the point of view of weakening the flow separation
the aerodynamic inverse design of a cascade is completed by giving a desirable surface pressure distribution on the blade. The results show that the suction profile of the obtained blade becomes flatter than the initial design
and the flow separation near the trailing edge is weakened at two investigated attack angles. This approach is beneficial for the development of aerodynamic design technology of cascades with higher efficiency and wider operating range.
