Presentation by NUMECA International, developer of FINE/Turbo Mr. Frederic Wilquem, PhD, MBA, Director of Operations, NUMECA International
Computations of Turbo machinery blade rows and related components are critical to engine design and optimization. In particular, the modeling of conjugate heat transfer phenomena, the integration of advanced technological effects and the simulation of unsteady flow behavior becomes a standard for advanced simulations within the industry. Tight links with structural and modal analyses for structural and aero acoustics predictions is also considered as a must.
This presentation addresses recent case studies in the aerospace, automotive and power generation domains using NUMECA flow integrated environments solutions. Topics cover the design and/or optimization of automotive turbochargers, industrial gas and steam turbines, water pumps and rocket turbo-pumps.

* Optimization of Room Environment Design Based on CFD Professor Shinsuke Kato, Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo
In order to achieve both comfort and energy saving in a room environment, demand for better air-thermal control is growing. Generally, air thermal environment in a room is affected by many factors, and air flow in a room, which has a great impact on movement of heat and contaminants, is a complex, non-linear turbulent phenomenon. In this session, optimization of design of indoor air thermal environment using turbulent flow analysis will be discussed and analysis examples will be presented.

The Use of SCULPTOR in the CFD Design and Optimization Process Mr. Rob Lewis, Project Manager, TotalSim, Ltd.
This paper describes how SCULPTOR can be used to accelerate the CFD design process, both through the use of optimization and more simple geometry modifications.
The work focuses on external aerodynamics and also illustrates some of the optimization techniques used to trade off two competing aerodynamic performance indicators.
A summary is made of the impact that SCULPTOR has had on the CFD process in terms of man-time, computer requirements and general productivity.

Application of SCULPTOR in Optimization of Rocket Engine Turbopump Turbine Blade Mr. Naoki Tani, Engineer, JAXA's Engineering Digital Innovation Center, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency
Turbopump efficiency has a great influence to a rocket engine overall performance, therefore, optimization with a generic algorithm was applied to the turbine blade design. By use of SCULPTOR for shape deformation, we succeeded in conducting optimization quickly and efficiently. In this session, our optimization examples will be presented.

First Ever Non-parametric Structural Design Optimization System For Fluid Applications Yukihiro Yamamoto, Group Manager, Design Optimization Group, Engineering Department, VINAS Co., Ltd.
TOSCA's proven non-parametric optimization technology has been applied to CFD, resulting in TOSCA.fluid, which dramatically improves efficiency of design optimization of fluid channels such as ducts. Features and application examples of TOSCA.fluid will be presented in this session.
Presentation by FE-DESIGN, developer of TOSCA
Topology Optimization for Channel Flow: TOSCA.fluid Markus Stephan, Ph.D., Business Development Manager, FE-Design GmbH
The layout of flow channels is a challenge in CFD design. The gap of the existence of non-parametric optimization tools for internal flow applications is closed by the development of TOSCA.fluid. TOSCA.fluid enables topology optimization based upon results from a CFD analysis. This allows automatic optimization of channels with the objective of minimum pressure drop and related targets. The direct coupling to the CFD solver leads to an extremely efficient optimization process as only one CFD solver run is necessary for the complete optimization. This is the first time that automatic, non-parametric optimization software for CFD problems will be introduced to the market. The presentation starts with a brief overview of optimization techniques currently used in CFD, their capabilities and limitations. From this the new, efficient approach for the topology optimization of channel flow will be explained and illustrative examples are shown. The possible engineering process integration will be discussed.

Generation of new design concepts by the use of TOSCA in the design process. Mr. Boris Lauber, Senior Application Engineer, FE-Design GmbH
Non-parametric optimization methods are extremely efficient finding an optimal design in a very early phase of the design process. In the presentation the latest developments in the Optimization software TOSCA for topology, shape and bead optimization will be presented. Not only the optimization capabilities play a very important role for the user. Additionally to a flexible way of defining objectives and constraints for the optimization task, the optimization has to be integrated into the existing design environment. An intuitive way for preprocessing the optimization task has to be provided and the complete design process (including the result transfer back to the CAD system) has to be covered by the complete solution. The example of a tractor lever will demonstrate the complete design process. Starting from a rough design space definition, a design proposal is found by topology optimization. The redesign of the design draft and the complete generation of the new, detailed component, which is transferred back to the design, is shown during the presentation.
