Summary
A survey is given on aerodynamic inverse solution activities by the authors in the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics. The survey includes stream function(SF) method of two different kinds of stream surfaces, which are usually assumed for the design in turbomachinery, stream-function-coordinate(SFC) method for two-dimensional and three-dimensional flows, potential function(PF) method and the method based on the direct solution with a residual-correction technique(DS-RC). The application of these methods and computer codes to turbine and compressor design has shown that the use of inverse solution techniques enables engineers to improve the design. A set of calculation examples and figures is also illustrated in the paper.
