HI

I AM LOOKING FOR REFERENCES(BOOKS,PAPERS) IN THE REGION OF BLADE OPTIMIZATION VIA THE GENETIC ALGORITHM APPROACH. BEST REGARDS

VASSILIOS

you mean unsupervised learning kind of stuff applied to balde generation ???

I WILL START A RESARCH IN THIS TOPIC IN THE NEXT MONTHS AND I WOULD LIKE TO RECCOMEND ME TO START REVISING THE THEORITICAL ASPECTS OF IT.( YES AT THIS STAGE UNSUPERVISED WORK) CHEERS.

Contact Prof. René Van den Braembussche at Von Karman Institute. He has a paper on Blade design using Artificial Neural Netwrok. May be he can help you. The paper is "Turbomachinery Blade Design using a Navier-Stokes Solver and Artificial Neural Network."

S. Pierret & R.A. Van den Braembussche

ASME Trans., Journal of Turbomachinery, Vol. 121, No.2 1999, (pp. 326-332)(also ASME paper 98-GT-4).

Hi email id is : vdb@vki.ac.be

Good Luck

Apurva

I WOULD NOT LIKE TO CONTACT THIS PERSON FOR PERSONAL AND PRIVATE REASONS.CAN YOU PLEASE SUGGEST ME SOMETHING ELSE ? REGARDS

i have been very interested in applications of neural networks in CFD and have some new ideas where these things can fit in, but no tyet checked, anyway , so i have some literature related to it downloaded from net, drop me an email we can carry this out on mails

OK APURVA CAN YOU PLEASE RECCOMEND ME SOMETHING FOR A START, EVEN A BOOK, OR WHATEVER BUT NOT THE ONE THAT YOU RECCOMENDED ME BEFORE. DO YOU HAVE IN MIND HOW POSSIBLE IS TO DOWNLOAD ANY SOFTWARE PACKAGE RELATED TO THIS AREA? CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME IN WHICH UNIVERSITY YOU ARE? BEST REGARDS

Hi

This paper will interest you. From here you can get refernces to begin with

H.-Y. Fan, An inverse design method of diffuser blades by genetic algorithms, Journal of Power and Energy, Proc. Instn Mech. Engrs, Vol. 212, Part A,1998: 261~268

Also have a visit at www.solver.com.

Vassilios,

Dr. Tom Pulliam (of NASA Ames Research Center) has written a few papers on using GAs for wing optimization. They used to be posted on his personal web site (do a google search).
