Design by Optimization on the Nozzle and the Stator Blades of a Rim-Driven Pumpjet

The design of the stator and nozzle of a rim-driven pumpjet thruster (RDPJ) is addressed through a simulation-based design optimization approach built on a parametric description of the main geometrical characteristics of the system, a RANS solver with actuator disk model, and a genetic algorithm. A...
