Open-Source Implementation and Validation of a 3D Inverse Design Method for Francis Turbine Runners

The hydraulic design of Francis turbines and pump-turbines is an expensive project-specific engineering effort that typically involves a direct iterative exploration of the design space. An inverse design method for turbomachinery has been previously introduced in the literature, and several recent...
