A Novel Optimization of a Transonic Centrifugal Impeller Based on 3D Inverse Design Approach

A Novel Optimization of Transonic Centrifugal Impeller Based on 3D Inverse Design Approach

In this webinar, we will explore a novel design and optimisation strategy coupling the 3D inverse approach and DoE (design of experiment) study that is developed.

Achieving optimal performance in a centrifugal impeller requires precise blade profile parametrization. However, increasing the number of control parameters results in greater complexity and a higher demand for computational resources and time. 

While design methods and guidelines exist, the efficient and accurate optimization for product development remains challenging. This webinar presents a new strategy that combines a 3D inverse approach and DoE study for the redesign and optimization of a transonic centrifugal compressor.
 
CFD analysis confirmed that the redesigned compressor wheel has significant efficiency improvements and reduced leakage losses. Moreover, the computational time was reduced to just a few days on a 32-core computer. This approach can be extended to other machine types, offering fast and affordable optimization solutions for different machine types.
