Descripción
Resumen:This study presents a reduced-order modeling framework for the shape optimization of a centrifugal pump. A database of CFD solutions is generated using Latin Hypercube Sampling over five design parameters to construct a reduced-order model based on proper orthogonal decomposition with radial basis function interpolation. The model predicts the flow field at the impeller–diffuser interface and pump outlet, enabling the estimation of impeller torque and total pressure rise. The active subspaces method is applied to reduce the dimensionality of the input space from five to four modified parameters. The sensitivity of the ROM is assessed with respect to further dimensionality reductions in the parameter space, POD mode truncation, and adaptive sampling. The model is then used to perform pump shape optimization via a quasi-Newton method, identifying the combination of the parameters that minimizes the impeller torque while satisfying a constraint on the head. The optimal result is validated through CFD analysis and compared against the Pareto front generated by a genetic algorithm. The work highlights the potential of model-order reduction techniques in centrifugal pump optimization.
