[en] Compressor and turbine blade design involves thermodynamical, aerodynamical and mechanical aspects, resulting in an important number of iterations. Inverse methods and optimization procedures help the designer in this long and eventually frustrating process. In this paper an optimization procedure is presented which solves two types of two-dimensional or quasi-three-dimensional problems: the inverse problem, for which a target velocity distribution is imposed, and a more global problem, in which the aerodynamic load is maximized.
