Analysis and design optimization of turbines (ADOpT)

该研究项目与Andritz Hydro Ltd.合作，旨在通过模拟和优化方法的进步，开发最先进的水轮机分析和设计优化计算方法(采用项目)。建议的工作分为两个主要方面，一个是形状优化设计，另一个是定常和非定常计算流体动力学(CFD)分析。这两个主要研究主题得到了关于混合网格生成和适应的第三个互补主题的支持。该项目将动员一个由几名研究生和研究专业人员组成的团队，致力于所有与预测和改善广泛运行条件下的水轮机行为直接相关的项目。Andritz的研究人员、学生和工程师之间的密切互动将允许通过实验室实验验证模拟，并通过由Andritz和Polytech联合开展的案例研究来设计方法。

This research project, in partnership with Andritz Hydro Ltd., aims to develop state of the art computational approaches for the Analysis and Design Optimization of hydraulic Turbines (the ADOpT project), through advancements in simulation and optimization methodologies. The proposed work is divided into two major poles, one that focuses on optimal shape design and the other on steady and unsteady computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. These two principal research themes are supported by a third, complementary theme, on hybrid mesh generation and adaptation. The project will mobilize a team comprising several graduate students and research professionals, working on projects all directly related to the prediction and improvement of hydraulic turbine behavior over a wide range of operating conditions. Close interaction between researchers, students and engineers from Andritz will allow validating simulations through laboratory experiments, and design methodologies through case studies, carried out jointly by Andritz and Polytechnique.
