Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of centrifugal pump impeller optimization, and particularly to a method and system for optimizing the cavitation performance of a centrifugal pump based on feature selection. Background Art

[0002] Pumps are one of the most typical and widely used hydraulic machines. As a major category of pump products, centrifugal pumps are widely used in industrial production, residential life and other fields. Cavitation is a core issue of general concern in the field of hydraulic machinery. The occurrence of cavitation will not only cause consequences such as a decline in hydraulic performance and excessive vibration and noise, but also trigger cavitation damage to the flow-through components. In order to enable the centrifugal pump to operate stably, it is necessary to have good cavitation performance. For the above reasons, developing a method for optimizing the cavitation performance of centrifugal pumps and improving the cavitation performance of centrifugal pumps is of great engineering practical significance. Traditional cavitation performance optimization uses the critical cavitation margin or the cavitation volume fraction as the optimization goal, but the above goals have the disadvantages of too high calculation cost or inability to truly reflect the losses caused by cavitation in the pump, and a goal that can more accurately reflect the energy loss caused by cavitation in the pump while having a lower calculation cost is needed.

[0003] In addition, there may be some variables in the initially determined optimization variables that have a relatively insignificant influence relationship with the optimization goal. The existence of these variables will, on the one hand, increase the dimension of the optimization space, and on the other hand, the existence of too many irrelevant variables will also reduce the prediction accuracy of the approximation model. In order to screen out the variables that are more sensitive to the optimization goal from numerous design variables as optimization variables, the Pearson coefficient is usually used as a standard, and the filtering method is used to screen out the variables with a greater correlation with the optimization goal. However, the Pearson coefficient mainly focuses on the linear relationship between variables and the goal, ignores the non-linear relationship, and cannot accurately identify the parameters that have a more significant influence on the optimization goal for optimization.

[0004] In summary, in order to further improve the method for optimizing the cavitation performance of centrifugal pump impellers and enhance the optimization effect of cavitation performance, it is necessary to develop a comprehensive optimization method for cavitation and head of centrifugal pumps based on feature selection. Summary of the Invention

[0062] Specifically, in this embodiment, S2. Based on the optimization space range, using the experimental design method to extract multiple groups of uniformly distributed variable combination schemes, including:

[0063] With the help of the experimental design method, according to the determined optimization space range, and in accordance with the principle of uniform distribution, perform the extraction operation of the combination scheme for each variable to ensure that the extracted variable combination scheme can comprehensively and effectively cover the design space. In this example, the Latin hypercube sampling method is adopted to uniformly generate 120 groups of variable combination schemes in the design space.

[0064] Specifically, in this embodiment, S3. Model and simulate the variable combination scheme to obtain the cavitation entropy production and head values, and construct the initial sample library, including:

[0065] In Ansys Workbench, use BladeGen, TurboGrid, and CFX to complete the three-dimensional modeling of the computational domain, mesh generation, and cavitation numerical simulation for each variable combination scheme respectively, and obtain the cavitation entropy production and head values of different schemes from the results of the cavitation numerical simulation through CFD-Post to construct the initial sample library. The computational domain is the water body area where the three-dimensional model of the impeller is located as the computational domain of the impeller. Since this method does not involve the geometric parameter optimization of the volute and inlet pipe, the computational domain and mesh of the volute and inlet pipe models are the same as those in the first step.

[0066] Specifically, in this embodiment, S4. Use the initial sample library to train the first approximation model, screen out the final optimization variables that have a significant impact on the optimization objective, and obtain the final sample library, including:

[0067] Train the approximate model Ⅰ using the initial sample library. Adopt the feature selection method to separately screen out the features that have a more significant impact on the two optimization objectives. Combine the variables that have the most significant impact on head and cavitation entropy generation as the final optimization variables, and obtain the sample library after removing the design variables with insignificant influence. In this example, XGBoost is selected as the approximate model Ⅰ, and the wrapper method in the feature selection method is adopted. Couple XGBoost with the NSGA-II algorithm. After NSGA-II selects a feature subset from the full set of features each time, use the XGBoost model to evaluate this subset, and use the fitting accuracy of the model as the evaluation criterion. The algorithm iterates continuously until the model fitting accuracy reaches a certain level or a certain number of iterations, and outputs the finally obtained feature subset as the final optimization variable. Through this method, the variables that have the most significant impact on cavitation entropy generation and head obtained in this example are [x0, x1, x6, x7, x8] and [x0, x1, x2, x7, x9] respectively. Combine the variables that have the most significant impact on head and cavitation entropy generation. The final optimization variables obtained are shown in Table 3 below. Remove the variables with weak influence in the sample library to obtain the final sample library;

[0070] Specifically, in this embodiment, S5. Train the second approximate model using the final sample library, optimize and verify using the optimization algorithm, and the output optimal parameter combination includes:

[0071] Train the approximate model Ⅱ using the finally obtained sample library. If the r 2 coefficient of the trained model is greater than 0.9, it can be adopted. If it is less than 0.9, perform feature selection again, and then train again until the r 2 coefficient is greater than 0.9. After obtaining the approximate model Ⅱ that meets the requirements, use the optimization algorithm to find the optimal parameters, and use the numerical simulation method to verify. If the error between the numerical simulation result and the optimization result is less than 5%, it is considered reasonable, and the optimization result this time can be adopted. If it is greater than 5%, then train and optimize the approximate model Ⅱ again until the error is less than 5%, and output the optimal parameters. In order not to make the efficiency of the optimal solution lower than the original solution, the efficiency is used as a constraint when using the optimization algorithm to optimize. In this step of this example, the TabPFN model is selected as the approximate model Ⅱ, and the cavitation entropy generation prediction model and the head prediction model are respectively trained using the finally obtained sample library. The r 2The coefficients are 0.91 and 0.97 respectively. The NSGA-II optimization algorithm is used for optimization to obtain the optimal parameter combination, and the numerical simulation method is used for verification. The deviation between the simulation results and the optimization results is less than 5%, so it can be adopted. The obtained optimal parameters are related to cavitation entropy production, head, efficiency, and NPSH r The values are shown in the following table. By comparison, it is found that through optimization, the cavitation entropy production in the pump is reduced by 9.9%, the head is increased by 10.46%, the efficiency is increased by 1.1%, and the NPSH r is reduced by about 27.40%.

[0072] Table 4 Comparison table of variables and parameter values before and after optimization

[0073]

[0074] The 10% cavitation distribution isosurfaces in the impeller before and after optimization are as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 shown. It can be found that the cavitation distribution area is reduced to a certain extent, which verifies the optimization effect from the side.

[0075] The cavitation characteristic curves of the centrifugal pump before and after optimization are as Figure 4 shown. It can be found that, on the one hand, the NPSH r decreases to a certain extent, and the cavitation performance of the pump is improved. On the other hand, the head increases, and the work capacity of the pump is enhanced. Figure 4 The red marked points in it indicate that the head drop value here reaches 3%H 1atm , where H 1atm is the head value when the inlet pressure of the centrifugal pump is 1 atmospheric pressure.

[0076] This embodiment introduces cavitation entropy generation, which reduces the computational cost in the cavitation optimization process of centrifugal pumps on the one hand, and more accurately describes the cavitation state inside the pump on the other hand. Taking cavitation entropy generation and head as the optimization objectives, multiple design variables of the centrifugal pump impeller are selected as the initial optimization variables. The experimental design method is used to uniformly extract design schemes in the optimization space, and cavitation numerical simulation is carried out for each scheme to obtain the initial sample library. The feature selection method is adopted to screen out the variables that have a significant impact on the optimization objectives as the optimization variables, avoiding the problem of insufficient consideration of the non-linear relationship between the optimization variables and the optimization objectives when screening the optimization variables based on the Pearson coefficient, and better realizing dimensionality reduction of the optimization space. Subsequently, the sample library after removing the optimization variables with weak influence is obtained, the approximate model is trained, the optimization algorithm is selected for optimization to obtain the optimal result, and the numerical simulation method is used for verification. If the error between the numerical simulation result and the optimization result is less than 5%, it is considered reasonable, and the optimization result can be adopted. If it is greater than 5%, the approximate model II is trained and optimized again until the error is less than 5%, and the optimal parameters are output. Through optimization, compared with the original scheme, the cavitation entropy generation in the pump of the optimal scheme is reduced by 9.9%, the head is increased by 10.46%, the efficiency is increased by 1.1%, and the NPSH r is reduced by about 27.40%.
