[0002] Turbochargers are critical energy conversion devices widely used in aerospace, marine propulsion, and industrial power, and their efficiency directly impacts the performance and economy of power systems. Accurately predicting the efficiency characteristics of turbochargers with different structural configurations is crucial during design and optimization. However, the efficiency of variable-structure turbochargers is influenced by a variety of complex factors, including geometric parameters (such as impeller shape and blade length) and operating conditions (such as speed and flow rate), making prediction extremely difficult. Traditional methods include experimental measurement and numerical simulation. The former is accurate but costly and time-consuming, while the latter is computationally intensive and limited by model accuracy. With the development of artificial intelligence, neural network algorithms have been widely applied due to their nonlinear mapping and self-learning capabilities. Although neural network-based prediction methods exist, those for variable-structure turbochargers, especially those comprehensively considering geometric parameters and real-time data, are still relatively few, and their accuracy and efficiency need improvement.

[0039] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating another turbocharger efficiency evaluation method based on variable structure turbine data provided in this disclosure, combined with... Figure 2 ,right Figure 1 The methods described in the text will be further described.

[0040] The implementation process of this invention is as follows: First, a three-dimensional aerodynamic simulation model of the radial turbine was established. Based on experimental measurements, the numerical simulation model of the turbine design was verified to accurately simulate the complex flow phenomena and performance inside the turbine. The three-dimensional aerodynamic simulation model of the radial turbine was established using ANSYS CFX software, and the prototype turbine was modeled in three dimensions using the impeller and volute design software CFturbo based on measured turbine geometric parameters. The governing equations for the three-dimensional numerical simulation of the turbine were the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations, and the turbulence model adopted the shear stress transport model. The working medium inside the turbine was considered an incompressible ideal gas, and its properties were corrected according to the inlet total temperature conditions. The inlet and outlet boundary conditions were selected as inlet total temperature and total pressure, and outlet static pressure, the values ​​of which were selected based on experimental data. Based on the above parameter settings, the flow process inside the turbine was numerically simulated. Based on the three-dimensional simulation results, the total-static efficiency of the radial turbine was calculated according to the following formula: , In this calculation, subscript 1 represents the inlet section of the volute, subscript 2 represents the interface between the volute and the impeller (which is both the volute outlet and the impeller inlet), and subscript 3 represents the outlet section of the impeller. The three-dimensional calculation assumes that the gas flow inside the turbine is an ideal adiabatic process, i.e., the gas adiabatic index is... remain unchanged. The temperature is isentropic, and the total temperature is... (Stagnation temperature), total pressure (Stagnation pressure) is related to flow velocity, and the calculation formula is: , , , Based on mesh independence analysis, the mesh count for a single-channel blade was set to 850,000, which is not only sufficiently detailed to capture flow details but also avoids excessive computational cost. To further verify the accuracy of the calculation results of the three-dimensional numerical simulation model of the turbocharger, steady-state performance under different turbine speeds was compared based on turbine performance test data, with the boundary conditions of the turbine numerical simulation remaining consistent with the experimental conditions. Verification through the numerical simulation model ensured a high degree of consistency between the three-dimensional numerical simulation results and experimental results in terms of both turbine flow capacity and turbine efficiency. The established three-dimensional aerodynamic simulation model of the radial turbine can accurately simulate the complex flow phenomena and performance inside the turbine.

[0041] Then, through CFD three-dimensional simulation, the influence of each geometric parameter of the radial turbine impeller on turbine efficiency was analyzed individually based on the single-factor sensitivity analysis method. The sensitivity and influence weight of each geometric parameter on the efficiency improvement of low expansion ratio radial turbine were evaluated based on the maximum efficiency improvement rate. The impeller inlet and outlet geometric parameters that have a significant impact on the efficiency of radial turbine were selected as key parameters for turbine efficiency characteristic prediction, and the constraint range of each geometric parameter was obtained.

[0042] Subsequently, the spatial geometry of the impeller outlet rim, hub position, and blade length, which significantly affect the efficiency of the radial turbine, was explored using the Latin hypercube sampling method. The sampling intervals for the geometric parameters were: outlet hub diameter [15, 35] (mm); blade length variation [-8, 8] (mm); and outlet rim diameter [58, 78] (mm). Based on different combinations of geometric parameters, the turbine impeller geometry was determined. Turbine efficiency was obtained through three-dimensional calculations under different reduced speed conditions representing low, medium, and high turbine speeds, thus acquiring a dataset for training a turbine efficiency prediction model based on geometric parameters.

[0043] Then, a neural network algorithm was applied to establish a model of the influence of key impeller geometric parameters on the efficiency of the radial turbine under different operating conditions. Based on the turbine reduced speed, impeller outlet rim position, outlet hub position, and blade length, the radial turbine efficiency was predicted. The input parameters of the backpropagation neural network included normalized turbine reduced speed, impeller outlet rim position, outlet hub position, and blade length, while the output parameter was set as the turbine's total static efficiency. The neural network structure was a three-layer neural network with one hidden layer and three neurons in each hidden layer. The Sigmoid function was chosen as the transfer function between layers. , In the formula, It is a weighted sum of the neuron's inputs. It is the connection weight between the i-th and j-th neurons. It is the output of the j-th neuron. These are the bias weights between neurons in each layer, and the weights are adjusted using the gradient descent method.

[0044] The efficiency of the radial turbine under different speeds and expansion ratios is calculated based on the established neural network prediction model, and the efficiency characteristics of the radial turbine under all operating conditions are obtained. This model has good accuracy in predicting turbine efficiency and has good generalization ability.

[0045] Finally, by collecting real-time temperature, pressure, and flow rate before and after the turbine and compressor, the turbocharger operating conditions are dynamically identified. The efficiency of the variable structure turbine is calculated based on a neural network prediction model, and the compressor operating efficiency is calculated based on experimental data, thereby accurately evaluating the turbocharger efficiency of the variable structure turbine.
