An inverse method for the subsonic and transonic airfoil design was developed using the Euler equations. Two testcases were performed. One was a verification of the method using the supercritical airfoil of the Korean mid-sized (100 passengers class) transport aircraft. The other was the design of an airfoil showing a good cruising performance (L/D ratio) in the high subsonic flow regime. These testcases demonstrated the efficiency and the robustness of the design method in the present study.

Cam mechanism is one of the common devices used in lots of automatic machinery. This paper introduces to an inverse cam mechanism. The inverse cam mechanism has a reverse structure as compared with common cam mechanism. For shape design of the inverse cam the approach used in this paper is an instant velocity center method that find the contact point between cam and roller at any contact time. And a computer program is developed for shape design and simulation by visual $C^{++}$ language. As the results, this paper presents two examples for the shape design of the inverse cam mechanism in order to prove the accuracy of the design procedures.

An efficient inverse method for 1.he supersonic/hypersonic axisymmetric body design is developed for the parabolized Navier-Stokes equations. The developed method is examined numerically for three extreme testcases in the supersonic(M/sub ∞/=3.0) and hypersonic(M/sub ∞/=6.28) speeds. The first one is a negative pressure distribution near a vacuum pressure and the second one is a positive pressure distribution over the whole region of the body. The last one is the case of abrupt change of pressure distribution to zero in the forward region of the body. These testcases show the robustness of the method. By introducing a regular-falsi method and by using a not-fully converged inverse solution, the convergence behavior was greatly improved.

In this paper, the inverse shape design is introduced using the permeable wall boundary condition. Inverse shape design defines the blade shape for the prescribed Mach numbers or pressure distribution on its surface. It calculates the normal mass flux from the difference between the calculated and prescribed pressure at the surface. A new geometry can be achieved after applying the quasi one-dimensional continuity equation from the leading edge to the trailing edge. For validation of this method, two test cases are studied. The first test case of inverse shape design illustrates the cosine bump with a strong shock. After seven geometry modifications, the shock-free bump geometry can be obtained. The second example concerns the redesign of a transonic turbine cascade. The initial isentropic Mach distribution has a peak on the upper surface. The target isentropic Mach number distribution was imposed smoothly. The peak of Mach distribution has disappeared at the final geometry. This proposed inverse design method has proven to be an efficient and robust tool in turbomachinery design fields.

A new and efficient inverse design method based on the numerical optimization technique has been developed. The 2-D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved for obtaining the objective functions and coupled with the optimization procedure to perform the inverse design. The steepest descent and the conjugate gradient method have been applied to find the searching direction. The golden section method was applied to compute the design variable intervals. It has been found that the airfoil and the pump impellers are well converged to their targeting shapes.

The impeller and vane diffuser for the mixed flow pump(NS550) was designed by using meridional selection program and inverse design method. We decided the meridional shape of the impeller from the meridional design parameter, such as the specific speed and maximum diameter at the impeller exit. The meridional shape of vane diffuser was set from the impeller shape, distribution of cross sectional area and maximum diffuser diameter. The angle of impeller blade and diffuser vane was designed by using inverse design method. The predicted overall performance by using commercial CFD code(ANSYS CFX-11) shown good agreement with design goals.

One-step inverse methods based on deformation theory causes some amount of error. The amount of error is generally increased as the deformation path is more complex. As a remedy, a new three dimensional multi-step inverse method is introduced for optimum design of blank shapes and strain distributions from desired final shapes. The approach extends a one-step inverse method to a multi-step inverse method in order to reduce the amount of error. The algorithm developed is applied to square cup drawing to confirm its validity by demonstrating reasonably accurate numerical results.

An efficient inverse design technique based on the MGM (Modified Garabedian-McFadden) method has been developed. The 2-D Navier-Stokes equations are solved for obtaining the surface pressure distributions and coupled with the MGM method to perform the inverse design. The solver is parallelized by using the domain decomposition method and the standard MPI library for communications between the processors. The MGM method is a residual-correction technique, in which the residuals are the difference between the desired and the computed pressure distribution. The developed code was applied to several airfoil shapes and the axial blade. It has been found that they are well converged to their target pressure distribution.

In this paper, an efficient inverse design method for nose shape of submerged body based on the MGM(Modified Garabedian-McFadden) design method has been developed. The MGM design method is a residual-correction technique, in which the residuals are differences between the desired and the computed pressure distributions. 3-D incompressible Wavier-Stokes equation was adopted for obtaining the surface pressure distribution and combined with the MGM design method to perform the inverse design of nose shape of submerged body. The design method was verified by applying to several airfoil shapes. Improved design shapes could be obtained when the method was applied to nose shapes of submerged body.
