Hydraulic turbine analysis automation and shape optimisation

与安德里茨水电有限公司合作，本计画拟进行水力设计之参数化几何造型、网格剖分、分析工具整合及以CFD为基础之最佳化方法之基础与应用研究。该项目将解决广泛的问题，从基本的域表示和离散化技术，到在工业环境和大规模工具集成中实现最佳设计的方法开发。这项研究的结果将被共同利用，为安德里茨设计工程师提供更好的集成，更快，更强大的数值工具，以指导和自动化他们的设计工作。通过对最佳工程设计的最新进展进行仔细分析，确定了研究主题，形成了一个三年计划，以解决基于模拟的形状优化方法的实施和部署中的具体挑战。

In collaboration with Andritz Hydro Ltd., this project proposes to pursue fundamental and applied research on parametric geometric modeling, mesh generation, analysis tool integration and CFD-based optimization methodology for hydraulic design. This project will tackle a broad spectrum of issues from fundamental domain representation and discretization techniques, to methodological developments for optimal design implementation in an industrial setting and large scale tool integration. Results from this research will collectively be harnessed to provide Andritz design engineers with better integrated, faster and more robust numerical tools, to guide and automate their design work. Research topics, identified through a careful analysis of recent advances in optimal engineering design, form a three year plan to address concrete challenges in the implementation and deployment of simulation-based shape optimization methodologies.
