The impeller and vane diffuser for the mixed flow pump(NS550) was designed by using meridional selection program and inverse design method. We decided the meridional shape of the impeller from the meridional design parameter, such as the specific speed and maximum diameter at the impeller exit. The meridional shape of vane diffuser was set from the impeller shape, distribution of cross sectional area and maximum diffuser diameter. The angle of impeller blade and diffuser vane was designed by using inverse design method. The predicted overall performance by using commercial CFD code(ANSYS CFX-11) shown good agreement with design goals.

원심압축기 임펠러의 최적화연구를 수행하기 위하여 임펠러의 형상변수와 설계변수에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 최적화된 결과로부터 성능향상이 달성되었는지를 평가하기 위하여 기존에 실험되어진 임펠러를 선택하였으며, 이 임펠러에서 최적화를 위한 설계변수를 선정하였다. 임펠러 유로에서 허브와 쉬라우드에서의 형상은 베지어곡선으로 재설계되었다. 또한 임펠러 허브와 팁에서의 블레이드 캠버선도 베지어곡선으로 표현하였다. 각각의 형상곡선은 6-8개의 조정점으로 충분히 일치하는 곡선을 얻게 되었으며, 이 중 형상의 변화에 큰 영향을 미치는 조정점을 선택하여 8개의 설계변수로 최적화가 가능함을 보여주었다. 따라서 기존에 사용되고 있는 원심압축기 임펠러의 점 데이터를 활용하여 최적화 형상을 위한 연구가 진행될 수 있음을 보여주었다.

본 논문에서는 높은 풍량을 갖는 임펠러 형상 최적 설계를 위하여, 블레이드 형상이 임펠러의 성능에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 먼저 임펠러 성능에 큰 영향을 미칠 것이라 판단되는 블레이드 개수, 각도, 길이를 설계변수로 선정하고, 실험계획법에 의거하여 정한 설계 수준에 따라 각기 다른 27가지 임펠러 형상을 설계하였다. 그리고 블레이드 형상 변화에 따른 임펠러 성능변화를 예측하기 위해 ANSYS CFX로 유동해석을 진행하였다. CFD 결과, 블레이드 개수 50개, 각도 $6^{\circ}$, 길이 5 mm 조합의 임펠러 형상에서 가장 높은 풍량이 발생되었다. 마지막으로 해석 결과를 바탕으로 3D프린터를 이용하여 기존 임펠러 형상과 시험군 임펠러 형상을 제작하였고, 블로워의 토출구에서의 유량을 측정하여 CFD 결과와 비교하는 검증 실험을 진행하였다.

In this study, a design for a shape of centrifugal pump impeller has been performed using a p.c. under a Windows environment. Interaction between a user and a computer has been easily established using the Visual Basic. In determining an outer diameter of an impeller, steps are divided into two, a basic computational step and a refinment step. In this way user can enter his/her experience at the refinment step and hence can expect to lessen the nonlinear nature inherent to the design. In determining a shape of a side view of an impeller, the Bezier cubic curve has been used, and it can be seen that the Bezier cubic curves are well suited in the shape design under a Windows environment. By simply manipulating the four control points, one can generate various cubic curves among which one is selected. Also, a simple method, which can determine the curved position of an impeller vane, has been developed. These data can be used for final CAD drawings.

This study focuses on the warm forging of a magnesium alloy impeller used for the fuel cell. The impeller has the very complicated shape with sharply twisted blade and thus is generally produced by mechanical machining or casting process. However, since these technologies give the high manufacturing cost or poor mechanical properties, the forging technology is required to make the high-quality impeller with the lower manufacturing cost. In order for production of the impeller by warm forging technology, the parametric studies using finite element analyses were carried out to find the optimal perform shape of impeller. Based on the FE simulation results, dies for impeller forging were designed and the resultant forged impeller was shown.

In this study, in order to prevent cavitation in a variable swash-plate type hydraulic pump, a basic model impeller has been applied to a new pump, and the impeller shape has been optimized through flow analysis. Based on the analysis results, we could propose an impeller shape with high efficiency and low possibility of cavitation in comparison with the basic model. The simplification of the basic shape of the impeller of the hydraulic pump was performed in three parts in the order of hub shape, wing, and curvature, and eight design parameters were defined to satisfy the design requirement. Compared with the initial model of the impeller, when the differential pressure of the optimum model increased, the efficiency was improved. It achieved the goal of design improvement because cavitation did not occur under the rated operating conditions.

Surrogate model based shape optimization methodology to enhance performance of a centrifugal pump has been implemented in this work. Design variables, such as blade number and blade angles defining the pump impeller blade shape were selected and a three-level full factorial design approach was used for efficiency enhancement. A three-dimensional simulation using Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) equations for the performance analysis was carried out after designing the geometries of the impellers at the design points. Standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model was used for steady incompressible flow simulations. The optimized impeller incurred lower losses by shifting the trailing edge towards the impeller pressure side. It is observed that the surrogates are problem dependent and most accurate surrogate does not deliver the best design always.

A coolant pump is the device that cools processed articles and tools when using cutting, boring, and grinding machine tools and provides cutting oil for distributing or cleansing the cut chip to the worktable, processing position, etc. In particular, it consumes a large proportion of energy in machine tools, so it plays an important role in terms of energy efficiency. The purpose of this research is to optimize the shape of impeller, which directly affects performance improvements, to determine the capacity of the coolant pump. To do so, we carried out a parametric analysis with the geometric shape of the impeller as the input variable.
