The 3D inverse design method,which methodology is far superior to the conventional design method that based on geometrical description,is gradually applied in pump blade design.However,no complete description about the method is outlined.Also,there are no general rules available to set the two important input parameters,blade loading distribution and stacking condition.In this sense,the basic theory and the mechanism why the design method can suppress the formation of secondary flow are summarized.And also,several typical pump design cases with different specific speeds ranging from centrifugal pump to axial pump are surveyed.The results indicates that,for centrifugal pump and mixed pump or turbine,the ratio of blade loading on the hub to that on the shroud is more than unit in the fore part of the blade,whereas in the aft part,the ratio is decreased to satisfy the same wrap angle for hub and shroud.And the choice of blade loading type depends on the balancing of efficiency and cavitation.If the cavitation is more weighted,the better choice is aft-loaded,otherwise,the fore-loaded or mid-loaded is preferable to improve the efficiency.The stacking condition,which is an auxiliary to suppress the secondary flow,can have great effect on the jet-wake outflow and the operation range for pump.Ultimately,how to link the design method to modern optimization techniques is illustrated.With the know-how design methodology and the know-how systematic optimization approach,the application of optimization design is promising for engineering.This paper summarizes the 3D inverse design method systematically.

Three dimensional(3D)displacements,which can be translated further into 3D strain,are key parameters for design,manufacturing and quality control.Using different optical setups,phase-shift methods,and algorithms,several different 3D electronic speckle pattern interferometry(ESPI)systems for displacement and strain measurements have been achieved and commercialized.This paper provides a review of the recent developments in ESPI systems for 3D displacement and strain measurement.After an overview of the fundamentals of ESPI theory,temporal phase-shift,and spatial phase-shift techniques,3D deformation measurements by the temporal phase-shift ESPI system,which is suited well for static measurement,and by the spatial phase-shift ESPI system,which is particularly useful for dynamic measurement,are discussed.For each method,the basic theory,a brief derivation and different optical layouts are presented.The state of art application,potential and limitation of the ESPI systems are shown and demonstrated.

With the increasing noise pollution,low noise optimization of centrifugal pimps has become a hot topic.However,experimental study on this problem is unacceptable for industrial applications due to unsustainable cost.A hybrid method that couples computational fluid dynamics(CFD)with computational aeroacoustic software is used to predict the flow-induced noise of pumps in order to minimize the noise of centrifugal pumps in actual projects.Under Langthjem's assumption that the blade surface pressure is the main flow-induced acoustic source in centrifugal pumps,the blade surface pressure pulsation is considered in terms of the acoustical sources and simulated using CFX software.The pressure pulsation and noise distribution in the near-cutoff region are examined for the blade-passing frequency(BPF)noise,and the sound pressure level(SPL)reached peaks near the cutoff that corresponded with the pressure pulsation in this region.An experiment is performed to validate this prediction.Four hydrophones are fixed to the inlet and outlet ports of the test pump to measure the flow-induced noise from the four-port model.The simulation results for the noise are analyzed and compared with the experimental results.The variation in the calculated noise with changes in the flow agreed well with the experimental results.When the flow rate was increased,the SPL first decreased and reached the minimum near the best efficient point(BEP);it then increased when the flow rate was further increased.The numerical and experimental results confirmed that the BPF noise generated by a blade-rotating dipole roughly reflects the acoustic features of centrifugal pumps.The noise simulation method in current study has a good feasibility and suitability,which could be adopted in engineering design to predict and optimize the hydroacoustic behavior of centrifugal pumps.

Lightweight design requires an accurate life prediction for structures and components under service loading histories. However, predicted life with the existing methods seems too conservative in some cases, leading to a heavy structure. Because these methods are established on the basis that load cycles would only cause fatigue damage, ignore the strengthening effect of loads. Based on Palmgren-Miner Rule(PMR), this paper introduces a new method for fatigue life prediction under service loadings by taking into account the strengthening effect of loads below the fatigue limit. In this method, the service loadings are classified into three categories: damaging load, strengthening load and none-effect load, and the process for fatigue life prediction is divided into two stages: stage I and stage II, according to the best strengthening number of cycles. During stage I, fatigue damage is calculated considering both the strengthening and damaging effect of load cycles. While during stage II, only the damaging effect is considered. To validate this method, fatigue lives of automobile half shaft and torsion beam rear axle are calculated based on the new method and traditional methods, such as PMR and Modified Miner Rule(MMR), and fatigue tests of the two components are conducted under service loading histories. The tests results show that the percentage errors of the predicted life with the new method to mean life of tests for the two components are –3.78% and –1.76% separately, much lesser than that with PMR and MMR. By considering the strengthening effect of loads below the fatigue limit, the new method can significantly improve the accuracy for fatigue life prediction. Thus lightweight design can be fully realized in the design stage.

The existing research on improving the hydraulic performance of centrifugal pumps mainly focuses on the design method and the parameter optimization.The traditional design method for centrifugal impellers relies more on experience of engineers that typically only satisfies the continuity equation of the fluid.In this study,on the basis of the direct and inverse iteration design method which simultaneously solves the continuity and motion equations of the fluid and shapes the blade geometry by controlling the wrap angle,three centrifugal pump impellers are designed by altering blade wrap angles while keeping other parameters constant.The three-dimensional flow fields in three centrifugal pumps are numerically simulated,and the simulation results illustrate that the blade with larger wrap angle has more powerful control ability on the flow pattern in impeller.The three pumps have nearly the same pressure distributions at the small flow rate,but the pressure gradient increase in the pump with the largest wrap angle is smoother than the other two pumps at the design and large flow rates.The pump head and efficiency are also influenced by the blade wrap angle.The highest head and efficiency are also observed for the largest angle.An experiment rig is designed and built to test the performance of the pump with the largest wrap angle.The test results show that the wide space of its efficiency area and the stability of its operation ensure the excellent performance of the design method and verify the numerical analysis.The analysis on influence of the blade wrap angle for centrifugal pump performance in this paper can be beneficial to the optimization design of the centrifugal pump.

Blade vibration failure is one of the main failure modes of compressor wheel of turbocharger for vehicle application.The existing models for evaluating the reliability of blade vibration of compressor wheel are static,and can not reflect the relationship between the reliability of compressor wheel with blade vibration failure mode and the life parameter.For the blade vibration failure mode of compressor wheel of turbocharger,the reliability evaluation method is studied.Taking a compressor wheel of turbocharger for vehicle application as an example,the blade vibration characteristics and how they change with the operating parameters of turbocharger are analyzed.The failure criterion for blade vibration mode of compressor wheel is built with the Campbell diagram,and taking the effect of the dispersity of blade natural vibration frequency and randomness of turbocharger operating speed into account,time-dependent reliability models of compressor wheel with blade vibration failure mode are derived,which embody the parameters of blade natural vibration frequency,turbocharger operating speed,the blade number of compressor wheel,life index and minimum number of resonance,etc.Finally,the rule governing the reliability and failure rate of compressor wheel and the method for determining the reliable life of compressor with blade vibration is presented.A method is proposed to evaluate the reliability of compressor wheel with blade vibration failure mode time-dependently.

Current research on the operational reliability of centrifugal pumps has mainly focused on hydrodynamic instability. However, the interaction between the fluid and structure has not been sufficiently considered; this interaction can cause vibration and dynamic stress, which can affect the reliability. In this study, the dynamic stresses in a single-blade centrifugal pump impeller are analysed under different operating conditions; the two-way coupling method is used to calculate the fluid–structure interaction. Three-dimensional unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations are solved with the SST k–ω turbulence model for the fluid in the whole flow passage, while transient structure dynamic analysis is used with the finite element method for the structure side. The dynamic stresses in the rotor system are computed according to the fourth strength theory. The stress results show that the highest stress is near the loose bearing and that the equivalent stress increases with the flow rate because the dynamic stresses are closely related to the pressure load. The stress distributions on the blade pressure side, suction side, leading edge, and trailing edge are each analysed for different flow rates; the highest stress distribution is found on the pressure side. On the blade pressure side, a relatively large stress is found near the trailing edge and hub side. Based on these results, a stress distribution prediction method is proposed for centrifugal pumps, which considers the interaction between the fluid and structure. The method can be used to check the dynamic stress at different flow rates when optimising the pump design to increase the pump reliability.
