A multidisciplinary algorithm for the 3-D design optimization of transonic axial compressor blades

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited === A new, multidisciplinary algorithm for the CFD design optimization of turbomachinery blades is presented. It departs from existing techniques in that it uses a simple, previously-developed Bezier geometry representation (BLADE-3D) that can b...
