  5. Problem Formulation Entry Exit Location and shape (Given) • Objective/Constraints • Pressure Recovery • Distortion • Swirl Optimum geometry of duct from Entry to Exit ? SAROD 2003

  6. Design Using CFD - Issues • Simulation Time • CFD takes huge amounts of time for real life problems • Design requires repetitive runs of disciplinary analyses • Integration & Automation • Parametric geometry modeling • Grid generation • CFD solution • Objective/Constraint function evaluation • Optimization • Gradient Information • Finite difference – step size (??), (NDV + 1) analyses required • Exact formulations – Automatic differentiation (ADIFOR), Adjoint method, Complex step method – All require source code SAROD 2003

  7. Flow Solver • Distortion & Swirl calculation requires NS solution • In-house NS Solver • Analytical gradients possible • Easy to integrate • Commercial Solvers (STAR-CD, FLUENT…) • Gradients using finite difference only • Difficult to integrate • FLUENT Inc. • S-shaped non-diffusing duct • Results validated with a NASA test case (Devaki Ravi Kumar & Sujata Bandyopadhyay) SAROD 2003

  8. Strategies • Reducing Time • Parameterization • Variable fidelity to shrink the search space • Surrogate modeling • Meshing • Parallel computing • Continuation • Integration & Automation • Wrapping executables and user interfaces • Offline analysis (Surrogate models) – semi-automatic SAROD 2003

  20. Optimization Post-processing • Distortion Analysis • DC60 = (PA0 – P60min) /q where, PA0 - average total pressure at the section, P60min - minimum total pressure in a 600 sector, q - dynamic pressure at the cross section. • User Defined Functions (UDF) and scheme files were used to generate this information from the FLUENT case and data file. • Iterations may be stopped when the distortion values stabilize at the exit section with reasonable convergence levels.
