Automatic optimization techniques have been used in recent years for the aerodynamic and mechanical design of turbomachine components. Despite the many advantages, their use is usually limited to simple applications in industrial practice, because of their high computational cost. In this paper, an optimization strategy is presented, which enables the three-dimensional multipoint, multiobjective aerodynamic optimization of turbomachinery blades in a time frame compatible with industrial standards. The design strategy is based on the coupling of three-dimensional inverse design, response surface method, multiobjective evolutionary algorithms, and computational fluid dynamics analyses. The blade parametrization is performed by means of a three-dimensional inverse design method, where aerodynamic parameters, such as the blade loading, are used to describe the blade shape. Such a parametrization allows for a direct control of the aerodynamic flow field and performance, leading to a major advantage in the optimization process. The design method was applied to the redesign of a centrifugal and of an axial compressor stage. The two examples confirmed the validity of the design strategy to perform the three-dimensional optimization of turbomachine components, accounting for both design and off-design performance, in a time-efficient manner. The coupling of response functions and inverse design parametrization also allowed for an easy sensitivity analysis of the impact of the design parameters on the performance ones, contributing to the development of design guidelines that can be exploited for similar design applications.
