Experiments are conducted to develop a design system for constrained optimization of three-dimensional cooled turbine blades. It provides industry with a modular design optimization tool that will take into account the interaction of the hot gas flow field, heat transfer in the blade material and the internal coolant flow field, and stress deformation field in the blade. Different softwares that provides simulation for the aero-thermo-structural optimization of cooled turbine blades are presented.
