Science behind building a converter

Ok so you have all your info to give to a torque converter manufacturer to have one built. What is there science or theory of the build for stall, flash and engine to drive shaft ratio at the finish line? Is the flash your peak torque? then how about shift points and finish line rpm a couple hundred above your peak HP? Is it harder to build with a wider range in between the torque and HP. Not looking for the mechanical build like fin angles and size just the science behind it.
