This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turbomachinery plays an important role in many cases of energy generation or conversion. Therefore, turbomachinery is a promising approaching point for optimization in order to increase the efficiency of energy use. In recent years, the use of automated optimization strategies in combination with numerical simulation has become increasingly popular in many fields of engineering. The complex interactions between fluid and solid mechanics encountered in turbomachines on the one hand and the high computational expense needed to calculate the performance on the other hand, have, however, prevented a widespread use of these techniques in this field of engineering. The objective of this work was the development of a strategy for efficient metamodel based optimization of centrifugal compressor impellers. In this context, the main focus is the reduction of the required numerical expense. The central idea followed in this research was the incorporation of preliminary information acquired from low-fidelity computation methods and empirical correlations into the sampling process to identify promising regions of the parameter space. This information was then used to concentrate the numerically expensive high-fidelity computations of the fluid dynamic and structure mechanic performance of the impeller in these regions while still maintaining a good coverage of the whole parameter space. The development of the optimization strategy can be divided into three main tasks. Firstly, the available preliminary information had to be researched and rated. This research identified loss models based on one dimensional flow physics and empirical correlations as the best suited method to predict the aerodynamic performance. The loss models were calibrated using available performance data to obtain a high prediction quality. As no sufficiently exact models for the prediction of the mechanical loading of the impellercould be identified, a metamodel based on finite element computations was chosen for this estimation. The second task was the development of a sampling method which concentrates samples in regions of the parameter space where high quality designs are predicted by the preliminary information while maintaining a good overall coverage. As available methods like rejection sampling or Markov-chain Monte-Carlo methods did not meet the requirements in terms of sample distribution and input correlation, a new multi-fidelity sampling method called "Filtered Sampling"has been developed. The last task was the development of an automated computational workflow. This workflow encompasses geometry parametrization, geometry generation, grid generation and computation of the aerodynamic performance and the structure mechanic loading. Special emphasis was put into the development of a geometry parametrization strategy based on fluid mechanic considerations to prevent the generation of physically inexpedient designs. Finally, the optimization strategy, which utilizes the previously developed tools, was successfully employed to carry out three optimization tasks. The efficiency of the method was proven by the first and second testcase where an existing compressor design was optimized by the presented method. The results were comparable to optimizations which did not take preliminary information into account, while the required computational expense cloud be halved. In the third testcase, the method was applied to generate a new impeller design. In contrast to the previous examples, this optimization featuredlargervariationsoftheimpellerdesigns. Therefore, theapplicability of the method to parameter spaces with significantly varying designs could be proven, too.

Download or read book Multi parameter Control for Centrifugal Compressor Performance Optimization written by Sébastien Karim Mannai and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The potential performance benefit of actuating inlet guide vane (IGV) angle, variable diffuser vane (VDV) angle and impeller speed to implement a multi-parameter control on a centrifugal compressor system is assessed. The assessment consists of first developing a one-dimensional meanline model for estimating performance of centrifugal compressor system followed by the formulation of a control framework incorporating the meanline model. Performance estimate of a representative centrifugal compressor system with adjustable IGV angle, VDV angle and impeller speed using the meanline model is in accord with available test data. The impeller performance estimate based on the meanline model is also in accord with computed results from Reynolds Average Navier-Stokes Equations. The simple control framework can be used to optimize on the fly the compressor operation to meet a specific mission requirement by selecting an appropriate combination of impeller speed, IGV and VDV angle settings. Desirable flow configurations with the required performance in response to specified operating needs have been obtained to serve as illustrations on the practical utility of the control framework. Results provide guidelines and attributes of compressor for achieving the required performance and operation at the system level through prioritizing the actuation of the adjustable parameters; for instance impeller speed would provide a high level of leverage to affect the compressor performance on an effective basis and that the IGV angle should be confined to a specified range. While the results have not been assessed in an experimental setting, they are used to design and plan an experimental program for evaluating the proposed simple multi-parameter control strategy. Flexibility have been incorporated into the formulation to allow the refinement and updating of the model for improved accuracy and fidelity.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The performance and flow structure in an unshrouded impeller of approximately 4:1 pressure ratio is synthesized on the basis of a detailed analysis of 3D viscous CFD results and aerodynamic measurements. A good data match was obtained between CFD and measurements using laser anemometry and pneumatic probes. This solidified the role of the CFD model as a reliable representation of the impeller internal flow structure and integrated performance. Results are presented showing the loss production and secondary flow structure in the impeller. The results indicate that while the overall impeller efficiency is high, the impeller shroud static pressure recovery potential is underdeveloped leading to a performance degradation in the downstream diffusing element. Thus, a case is made for a follow-on impeller parametric design study to improve the flow quality. A strategy for aerodynamic performance enhancement is outlined and an estimate of the gain in overall impeller efficiency that might be realized through improvements to the relative diffusion process is provided.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Loss generation features for the first stage impeller in a multistage centrifugal compressor are examined using three-dimensional RANS computations. The calculations were carried out for a baseline configuration and for seven other impeller configurations, with the constraints of constant mass flow and constant work per unit mass flow. The computations showed an 8 percent reduction in loss, compared to the baseline, for a configuration that incorporated 60% of the total casing blade angle change in the front 20% chord. Twodimensional interactive boundary layer computations were carried out to demonstrate links between the loss variation and the changes in boundary layer behavior in the front 20% of the blade passage.
