Abstract

The shape optimization of blades is a crucial step within the design cycle of a whole turbomachine. This paper is a report on a joint project between academia and industry leading to an efficient solution software for this problem to be used in the daily work of concerned engineers. The problem description and solution method, characterized as a partially reduced SQP method, as well as numerical results are presented.
