Abstract

The Prometheus combustor design system aims to reduce the complexity of evaluating combustor designs by automatically defining pre-processing, simulation and post-processing tasks based on the automatic identification of combustor features within the CAD environment. This system enables best practice to be codified and topological changes to a combustor's design to be more easily considered within an automated design process. The following paper presents the Prometheus combustor design system and its application to the multi-objective isothermal optimization of a combustor prediffuser and the multi-fidelity isothermal optimization of a fuel injector feed arm in combination with a surrogate modelling strategy accelerated via a high performance graphical processing unit
