Presentation Notes

System of interest is one stage of a turbine engine rotor (bladed disk) Many bladed disks feature blades that are inserted into the disk (e.g., using a dovetail or fir-tree attachment) It is becoming common for the blades and disk to be manufactured as a single piece. This is called a “blisk” or an “integrally bladed rotor”. Although this eliminates some complications with inserted blades, it leads to other tricky issues, such as how does one quantify the mistuning when the individual blades cannot be removed from the disk for measurements of blade-alone natural frequencies. (Mistuning ID for blisks is covered in a later section of this presentation.)



Methods: Problems are tackled experimentally using laser-induced fluorescence, particle-tracking velocimetry, acoustic Doppler velocimetry hot-wire / hot-film anemometry, cold-wire (resistance) thermometry and novel, high-frequency response, shear-stress sensors.

Siva Nadarajah Research Interests: Development of numerical methods for the analysis and design of aerospace systems. The research focuses on the following topics:

- Multidisciplinary Design Optimization - Advanced Numerical Techniques for Computational Fluid Dynamics - Mathematical Techniques for Automatic Aerodynamic Shape

Optimization - High-Performance Parallel Computing

Aerodynamic shape optimization of complex systems subjected to forces exerted by both steady and unsteady fluid flow. New algorithms to both compute and redesign turbo-machinery, helicopter and wind turbine blades to improve the efficiency. The approach utilizes the nonlinear frequency-domain (NLFD) technique for rapid simulation of the flow field and an adjoint-based approach for the rapid redesign of the blades and currently stands as the fastest technique without sacrificing the accuracy of the flow solution.
