Performance Improvement through Velocity Triangle Optimization-Driven Redesign for Mitigating the Horseshoe Vortex in Axial Turbines
… a blade modification method involving airfoil shape optimization, designed to adjust the leading edge airfoil shape in horseshoe vortex-affected turbine applications. The key insight is that airfoil design (treated as a blunt body) does not consider incoming flow possessing various …

Shape optimization of cambered airfoils using a genetic algorithm and a multipoint inverse method
… thesis presents a process to optimize a cambered airfoil with the MATLAB genetic algorithm (GA) and a multipoint inverse method called PROFOIL. XFOIL was used to evaluate the aerodynamic performance of each airfoil. Data processing techniques and a custom penalty function were developed in order …
