A flatter design is becoming increasingly important for reducing torque converter axial size and weight. The conventional stator design method, in which the blade profile is geometrically determined and flow analysis of the profile may give some valuable information, is no longer sufficient for achieving efficient flow turning in the short axial length of flat torque converters. Here, after a brief review of the conventional design approach, an inverse design method is introduced, which yields a blade profile solution for a prescribed favorable velocity distribution along the blade. The performance improvement with this procedures has been demonstrated experimentally.
