The paper highlights the Parametric Design of a Waterjet Pump by Means of Inverse Design, CFD Calculations and Experimental Analyses. The present paper describes the parametric design of a mixed-flow water-jet pump. The pump impeller and diffuser geometries were parameterized by means of an inverse design method, while CFD analyses were performed to assess the hydrodynamic and suction performance of the different design configurations that were investigated.
In this publication, you will:
- Learn why waterjet pumps pose particularly challenging questions in the design phase
- See how designers need to find compromise between hydrodynamic efficiency and pump suction performance
- Discover the effect of five impeller design parameters on pump performance and which brought the biggest advantage
