This paper presents a new three-dimensional turbomachinery design system developed at RollsRoyce, based on linear perturbation theory. The linear sensitivities of the flow to a set of geometric design variables are computed through direct numerical differentiation. The sensitivities are used to construct both forward and inverse design modes. The design system uses well established engineering modifications specified independently at several radial heights to construct a 56-dimensional design space. A key feature of the design system is a user f&idly graphical interface to allow engineers to navigate easily through an essentially unlimited design space. The combination of well-understood geometry perturbations and a high level of interactivity are novel features of a system which is a powerful supplement to the engineer’s experience. In this paper, the elements of design system needed to successfully apply the linear perturbation theory are described. The system is applied in both the forward and inverse modes to the design of a modem low aspect ratio core turbine nozzle with large secondary flows. A novel heuristic approach to the effective use of a multi-parameter design space is presented. The successful application of the system to reduce levels of secondary kinetic energy in a complex turbulent three-dimensional flow field is described.
