Written by Baoshan Zhu, Xuhe Wang, ,Lei Tan, , Dongyue Zhou, Yue Zhao & Shuliang Cao

What's inside?

This paper looks at the Optimization Design of a Reversible Pump-turbine Runner. In this study, a multiobjective optimization design system, including a 3D inverse design, computational fluid dynamics, design of experiment,response  surface methodology, and multiobjective genetic algorithm, is introduced and applied to the design of a middle-high-head pumpeturbine runner.
