This paper reviews the state-of-the-art in robust design optimization–the search for designs
and solutions which are immune with respect to production tolerances, parameter drifts …

The present paper aims to establish a systematic robust optimization framework for the
hydrodynamic performance of marine current turbines against uncertain conditions. To this …

COMPUTATIONAL fluid dynamics (CFD) has evolved considerably since emerging in the
1960s, tracking improvements in computational hardware and algorithm development. CFD …

The use of optimization methods to design aerodynamic sections is now completely routine
in many companies and research institutes; see [1] for an introduction to this approach …

Geometric variability increases performance variability and degrades the mean performance
of turbomachinery compressor blades. These detrimental effects can be reduced by using …

Inevitable geometric variations significantly affect the performance of turbines or even that of
entire engines; thus, it is necessary to determine their actual characteristics and accurately …

Pressure distribution is important information for engineers during an aerodynamic design
process. Pressure Distribution Oriented (PDO) optimization design has been proposed to …

The use of surrogate models (response surface models, curve fits) of various types (radial
basis functions, Gaussian process models, neural networks, support vector machines, etc.) …

The aim of the current paper is the robust optimization of an internally cooled gas turbine
vane by increasing the cooling performance and decreasing the sensitivity of the …

Flow variations at the inlet boundary due to the compressor operational condition changes
and geometric variations of the realistic compressor blades due to the manufacturing …
