Jet pump efficiency heavily relies on the geometrical parameters of the pump design and parameter global optimization in the full variable space is still a big challenge. This paper proposed a global optimization method for annular jet pump design combining computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation, the Kriging approximate model and experimental data. The suction angle, the flow ratio, the diffusion angle, and the area ratio are selected as the design variables for optimization. The optimal space filling design (OSF) method is used to generate sampling points from the design space of the four design variables. The optimization method solves the constrained optimization problem with a given head ratio by building the functional relationship established by the Kriging model between efficiency and design parameters, which makes the method more applicable. The design result shows that the annular jet pump efficiency is predicted well by the Kriging model; m is a key variable affecting the annular jet pump efficiency. As the area ratio m decreases, the mixing effect at the suction chamber outlet can be improved, but the frictional resistance increases.

In this study, an annular jet pump optimization method is proposed based on an RBF (Radial Basis Function) neural network model and NSGA-II (Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm) optimization algorithm to improve the hydraulic performance of the annular jet pump applied in submarine trenching and dredging. Suction angle, diffusion angle, area ratio and flow ratio were selected as design variables. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was used for numerical simulation to obtain the corresponding performance, and an accurate RBF neural network approximate model was established. Finally, the NSGA-II algorithm was selected to carry out multi-objective optimization and obtain the optimal design variable combination. The results show that the determination coefficient R2 of the two objective functions (jet pump efficiency and head ratio) of the approximate model of the RBF neural network were greater than 0.97. Compared with the original model, the optimized model’s suction angle increased, and the diffusion angle, flow ratio and area ratio decreased. In terms of performance, the head ratio increased by 30.46% after the optimization of the jet pump, and efficiency increased slightly. The proposed jet pump performance optimization method provides a reference for improving the performance of other pumps.

The kriging optimization method that can only obtain one sampling point per cycle has encountered a bottleneck in practical engineering applications. How to find a suitable optimization method to generate multiple sampling points at a time while improving the accuracy of convergence and reducing the number of expensive evaluations has been a wide concern. For this reason, a kriging-assisted multi-objective constrained global optimization (KMCGO) method has been proposed. The sample data obtained from the expensive function evaluation is first used to construct or update the kriging model in each cycle. Then, kriging-based estimated target, RMSE (root mean square error), and feasibility probability are used to form three objectives, which are optimized to generate the Pareto frontier set through multi-objective optimization. Finally, the sample data from the Pareto frontier set is further screened to obtain more promising and valuable sampling points. The test results of five benchmark functions, four design problems, and a fuel economy simulation optimization prove the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

For some annular-type jet pump applications, it is important to avoid formation of a recirculation zone in the mixing region. The goals of this research were to find (i) when recirculation occurs and (ii) the size and location of the resulting recirculation zone. Experiments were performed using air in a straight-walled, annular-type, ducted jet. Area ratio Aj/As varied from 0.39 to 0.89; here, A is flow area, and j and s identify the jet and secondary flows, respectively. Data showed that recirculation correlates with J, where J ≈ Pj/(Pj + Ps), and P is rate of momentum. For the area ratios studied, recirculation begins when J exceeds a value ranging from 0.89 to 0.94. This paper also presents data showing the recirculation zone boundaries and presents a discussion of jet pump design.
