Abstract

This study presents a design optimization of a circumferential feedback channel on the shroud casing between rotor trailing and leading edges to maximize the aerodynamic performance of a single-stage transonic axial compressor, NASA Stage 37, using three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes analysis (RANS) with the k-ε turbulence model. The location of the injection and bleeding ports, angles of injection, and bleeding were the most influential factors on the aerodynamic performance and were selected as the design variables. A hybrid genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization algorithm coupled with three different surrogate models were utilized to maximize the peak adiabatic efficiency and stall margin of the transonic axial compressor. The optimization results for the circumferential feedback channel indicated that an increase in stall margin was achievable with a slightly reduced peak efficiency in comparison with that of the smooth casing.
