Abstract

In this paper, we propose several approaches for automatic construction of planar multi-patch B-spline parameterizations around one or between two consecutive blade profiles in a blade cascade starting from given design parameters (blade cascade is obtained by unfolding a cylindrical cross-section of the runner), which have been implemented in C++ as fully automatic generators and are an integral part of our in-house automatic shape optimization tool for water turbines. These B-spline parameterizations have to be prepared for the definition of periodic boundary conditions on the corresponding parts of the boundary, which makes finding of analysis-suitable multi-patch B-spline parameterizations even more challenging. All approaches are compared with respect to the selected geometric quality measures and also with respect to the results from our in-house isogeometric incompressible turbulent fluid flow solver and we discuss pros and cons of these approaches.
