Abstract

To improve the prediction accuracy of the surrogate model and reduce the calculation cost for hydraulic optimization design of centrifugal pump impeller, an inverse design and optimization method based on adaptive proper orthogonal decomposition (APOD) hybrid model was proposed. Initial samples were designed by perturbing blade control parameters of the original model. The samples were classified using the K-means clustering algorithm, and the adaptive samples were selected according to the category of the objective sample. The snapshot set is composed of blade shape parameters and the CFD flow field data in impeller, which is decomposed into a linear combination of orthogonal bases by the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) method to predict the objective parameters. According to the objective load distribution, the low specific speed centrifugal pump was inversely designed by using the APOD model, and its initial blade was obtained. And then, the flow field corresponding to disturbed blade shape was predicted using the APOD method, so as to evaluate the gradient of the objective function to design variables. Finally, the initial blade was optimized by the gradient descent method. The results show that the APOD hybrid model method can be employed to accomplish the blade inverse design and the flow field prediction in the optimization design of centrifugal impeller, which significantly reduces the numerical calculation cost and improves the accuracy of the flow field prediction.
