A multiobjective optimization technique based on the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and the orthogonal test is proposed to reduce the pressure pulsation in this paper. Three levels of four well-known performance factors L9 (34) were considered in the orthogonal test scheme: the number of blades, the blade setting angle, the hub ratio, and the distance between the blade and the guide vane. The evaluation indexes corresponded to the head, efficiency, shaft power, and pressure pulsation, respectively. An optimal configuration A2B1C2D3 was obtained by comprehensive frequency analysis method, after intuitive and range analysis. In comparison with the nonoptimized model, the new design’s head and efficiency increased by 17.8% and 4.26%, whilst the shaft power and the pressure pulsation coefficient reduced by 1.22% and 11%, respectively. Experiments conducted on the optimized pump were consistent with the CFD model. Six different rotational speed conditions in the optimal operating points were numerically calculated in order to explore the internal hydraulic characteristics of the optimized axial flow pump. It is verified that the comprehensive frequency analysis method based on the orthogonal test approach is effective for the multiobjective optimization of the axial flow pump.

To reveal the effect of tip clearance on the flow behaviors and pressurization performance of a helico-axial flow pump, the standard k-ε turbulence model is employed to simulate the flow characteristics in the self-developed helico-axial flow pump. The pressure, streamlines and turbulent kinetic energy in a helico-axial flow pump are analyzed. Results show that the tip leakage flow (TLF) forms a tip-separation vortex (TSV) when it enters the tip clearance and forms a tip-leakage vortex (TLV) when it leaves the tip clearance. As the blade tip clearance increases, the TLV moves along the blade from the leading edge (LE) to trailing edge (TE). At the same time, the entrainment between the TLV and the main flow deteriorates the flow pattern in the pump and causes great hydraulic loss. In addition, the existence of tip clearance also increases the possibility of TLV cavitation and has a great effect on the pressurization performance of the helico-axial flow pump. The research results provide the theoretical basis for the structural optimization design of the helico-axial flow pump.

With the development of the city sewage treatment, the request of the specific speed of axial flow pump has been higher and higher. At present China is lack of the system theory and method to design axial flow pump above 1400 specific speed. Selection methods of design parameters depend on experience. This paper used the improved lifting method to design axial flow pump. Optimize design of axial flow pump from cascade solidity, blade number, ratio hub and the airfoil of impeller. The feasibility of such optimize methods had been validated from theoretical analysis. Put forward new selection methods of design parameters. Design an impeller model. The rated condition of flow rate is 3000 m3/h and the rated condition of lift is 1 m. A useful reference of axial flow pump design, improvement and optimization was obtained.

This paper research the influence of cascade dense degree and airfoil placed angle on hydralic performance of axial flow pump blades. Which combines the numerical optimization technology with the advanced CFD simulation technique, replaces designers’ experience by mathematical models for controlling of the blade design direction. Finally, a platform for of the optimization design of axial-flow pump blades is built in this paper. The platform which based on the multidisciplinary optimization software iSIGHT is to design and optimize the axial flow blades. The automatic optimization design platform for axial-flow blade was established, in which the parameterization modeling, mesh, flow computation and numerical optimization are combined together. The use of the numerical simulation software CFD for disciplinary analysis improved the reliability and accuracy of the results of the prediction model. Found the approximate geometric design parameters of the design conditions based on numerical simulation, and the technology of numerical optimization was used for constrained optimized analysis based on these parameters. Optimized impeller efficiency improved about 0.7% while satisfying the constraint condition, shows that the optimization method for axial flow blade base on iSIGHT platform is effective and feasible. Meanwhile, the optimization method can greatly shorten the design cycle, reduce design cost optimization.
