What's inside?
This paper looks at the Optimization Design of a Reversible Pump-turbine Runner. In this study, a multi-objective optimization design system, including a 3D inverse design, computational fluid dynamics, design of experiment,response surface methodology, and multi-objective genetic algorithm, is introduced and applied to the design of a middle-high-head pump turbine runner.
In this publication, you will:
- Learn how a multi-objective optimization design system that includes 3D Inverse Design is applied to a pump-turbine runner
- Understand the challenges of designing runners that operate as both a pump and a turbine
- Discover the correlation between input parameters and the resulting trade-offs
