Currently design of turbomachinery (impellers/turbines) is more a form of art than an engineering process. One has to guess a bunch of parameters and check if they are right in much later stages of design.
I was thinking about designing the other way: we know the initial and the final velocity. The optimum trajectory is the one with the least acceleration in any direction. The shape of a turbine/impeller would then mimic the calculated trajectories.
My problem is that I have no idea where to start. Any suggestions?
Thanks :)
