Abstract: The refined aerodynamic design optimization of multistage compressors is a typical high-dimensional and expensive optimization problem. This study proposes an integrated surrogate model-assisted evolutionary algorithm combined with a Directly Manipulated Free-Form Deformation (DFFD)-based parametric dimensionality reduction method, establishing a high-precision and efficient global parallel aerodynamic optimization platform for multistage axial compressors. The DFFD method achieves a balance between flexibility and low-dimensional characteristics by directly controlling the surface points of blades, which demonstrates a particular suitability for the aerodynamic design optimization of multistage axial compressors. The integrated surrogate model enhances prediction accuracy by simultaneously identifying optimal solutions and the most uncertain solutions, effectively addressing highly nonlinear design space challenges. A three-stage axial compressor in a heavy-duty gas turbine is selected as the optimization object. The results demonstrate that the optimization task takes less than 48 h and achieves an improvement of 0.6% and 4% in the adiabatic efficiency and surge margin, respectively, while maintaining a nearly unchanged flow rate and pressure ratio at the design point. The proposed approach provides an efficient and reliable solution for complex aerodynamic optimization problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
