The design and optimization of a multistage radial compressor vaneless diffuser, cross-over and return channel is presented. An analytical design procedure for 3D blades with prescribed load distribution is first described and illustrated by the design of a 3D return channel vane with leading edge upstream of the cross-over. The analysis by means of a 3D Navier–Stokes solver shows a substantial improvement of the return channel performance in comparison with a classical 2D channel. Most of the flow separation inside and downstream of the cross-over could be avoided in this new design. The geometry is further improved by means of a 3D inverse design method to smooth the Mach number distribution along the vanes at hub and shroud. The Navier–Stokes analysis shows a rather modest impact on performance but the calculated velocity distribution indicates a more uniform flow and hence a larger operating range can be expected. The impact of vane lean on secondary flows is investigated and further performance improvements have been obtained with negative lean.

This paper presents an automatic multiobjective hydrodynamic optimization strategy for pump–turbine impellers. In the strategy, the blade shape is parameterized based on the blade loading distribution using an inverse design method. An efficient response surface model relating the design parameters and the objective functions is obtained. Then, a multiobjective evolutionary algorithm is applied to the response surface functions to find a Pareto front for the final trade-off selection. The optimization strategy was used to redesign a scaled pump–turbine. Model tests were conducted to validate the final design and confirm the validity of the design strategy.
