Design optimization of a 2D blade by means of milling tool path

François Avellan, Cécile Münch-Alligné, Christian Vessaz, Christophe Tournier

In a conventional design and manufacturing process, turbine blades are modeled based on reverse engineering or on parametric modeling with Computer Fluids Dynamics (CFD) optimization. Then, only raises the question of the manufacturing of the blades. As th ...

Toward design optimization of a Pelton turbine runner

François Avellan, Christian Vessaz, Loïc Andolfatto, Christophe Tournier

The objective of the present paper is to propose a strategy to optimize the performance of a Pelton runner based on a parametric model of the bucket geometry, massive particle based numerical simulations and advanced optimization strategies to reduce the d ...

Tool Path Generation and Post-Processor Issues in Five-Axis High Speed Machining of Hydro Turbine Blades

François Avellan, Christophe Tournier

This paper deals with 5-axis milling of hydraulic blades. The issue developed is essentially linked to problems due to the transition from 3 to 5 axes. A specific attention is done to the Inverse Kinematics Transformation (IKT) which can be source of incoh ...
