A centrifugal compressor aerodynamic optimization system based on Pareto multi-objective algorithm was established.The system integrated the parameterized geometric model
ICEM(integrated computer engineering and manufacturing) mesh generation
CFX(computational fluid dynamics X) computation and CFD combined optimization technique.Using this system
the optimization was implemented for a centrifugal compressor volute
and the total pressure loss coefficient and static pressure recovery coefficient were chosen as target variables.Compared with prototype design
the average total pressure loss coefficient of optimal design decreased by 11.79% and the average static pressure recovery coefficient increased by 16.97%.Meanwhile
the secondary flow inside the volute was reduced to a certain degree
and the volute matched better with the impeller.The results show that the multi-objective optimization system is effective to the performance of the centrifugal compressor.
