Abstract:

Relative to structural topology optimization， fluid topology optimization method is inadequately developed. In order to promote the application of fluid topology optimization in turbomachinery field， theoretical basis of this method is introduced according to research achievements in the open literature. It includes mathematical formulations for the optimization， fluid governing equations and their solution method， sensitivity analysis techniques， preventive measures of unstable problems and geometrical reconstruction approaches. Then， literature review on current studies of fluid topology optimization about aero-thermal problems in turbomachinery field is summarized. In order to pinpoint the technological superiority of this method， relevant designs of turbine blade internal cooling structure， turbine blade tip geometry and centrifugal compressor bend are described. These studies indicate that compared to traditional shape and size optimization methods， the topology optimization has higher degrees of design freedom and can overcome the limitation of structure parameterization. This can aid to excavate novel structures with good performance. Finally， future prospects of the development of fluid topology optimization in turbomachinery field are forecasted.
