Abstract

This paper describes the shape optimization of impeller blades for an anti-heeling bidirectional axial flow pump used in ships. In general, a bidirectional axial pump has efficiency much lower than that of a classical unidirectional pump because of the symmetry of the blade type. In this study, by focusing on a pump impeller, the shape of the blades is redesigned to develop a bidirectional axial pump with higher efficiency. The commercial code employed in this simulation is CFX v.13. The CFD result of the pump torque, head, and hydraulic efficiency was compared. The orthogonal array (OA) and analysis of variance (ANOVA) techniques and surrogate-model-based optimization using orthogonal polynomials are employed to determine the main effects and their optimal design variables. According to the optimal design, we confirm an effective design variable for impeller blades and explain the optimal solution as well as the usefulness of satisfying the constraints of the pump torque and head.

이 논문은 선박에서 자세 안정용 양방향 축류펌프에 대한 임펠러 블레이드의 형상최적설계를 설명한 것이다. 양방향 축류펌프용 블레이드는 대칭형 익형을 사용하므로 효율이 기존의 단방향 축류펌프보다 낮다. 이러한 양방향 축류펌프의 단점을 최소화 하고 효율을 증가시키기 위해 최적설계기법을 사용하였다. 양방향 축류펌프의 성능 개선을 위해 상용 CFD 프로그램인 ANSYS CFX v.13 을 이용하여 유동해석을 수행하였다. 직교배열표, 분산분석과 직교다항식을 이용한 대리모델기반 최적설계방법은 최적 설계변수를 결정하고 주효과를 찾는데 사용하였다. 최적설계 결과로부터, 임펠러 블레이드의 유효한 설계변수를 확인하고 이의 최적해와 설계요구조건 만족에 대한 유용성을 설명하였다.
