What's inside?
A methodology for designing pumps to meet multi-objective design criteria is presented in this paper. The method combines a 3D inverse design method with a multi-objective genetic algorithm to design pumps which meet various aerodynamic and geometrical requirements.
By using the 3D inverse design method, it is possible to perform 3D multi-objective optimization with few design parameters, while eliminating the unrealistic geometries that could be obtained by a geometry parametrization. The CFD results confirm the main outcomes of the optimization process.
In this publication, you will:
- Discover the Inverse Design technics to design pump impellers with strict criteria and requirements (static, dynamic stresses...).
- See how this proposed approach can be used to rapidly and automatically explore a large part of the design space to create impeller and diffuser designs that meet contrasting requirements relating to efficiency, suction performance, manufacturing limitations, mechanical constraints or cost.
- Understand why such an approach leads to a substantial reduction of the computational cost.
