Scheme optimization for a turbine blade under multiple working conditions based on the entropy weight vague set
Abstract
The deformation of blades under complex loads of multiple working conditions will reduce the energy conversion efficiency. To reduce the deviation of the blade shape in practical working conditions, a combination and optimization method of blade design schemes under multiple working conditions, based on the entropy weight vague sets, is proposed. The sensitivity of each working condition index is analyzed based on the information entropy, and the satisfaction degree of the design scheme based on the design requirements and experiences is described with the vague set. The matching degree of different design schemes for multiple working conditions is quantified according to the scoring function. The combination and optimization of the design scheme are verified by numerical simulation analysis. The results show that the proposed design scheme has a smaller blade shape deviation than the traditional design scheme under multiple working conditions.
