“…Under the same bases design on the conventional application, their presented method identifies parameters either dependent on the system or having nonlinear effect which can be valuable in optimization process. Baloni et al conducted ANOVA approach and Taguchi method as an optimization of performance of centrifugal blower especially on the blower volute (Baloni, Pathak, & Channiwala, 2015). Numerical simulation was meshed by Gambit and used FLUENT as a solver.…”

“…Therefore, the development of quick optimization solutions is of even higher importance. For shape optimization, numerical simulations are often coupled with optimization algorithms or methods such as a genetic algorithm (GA) [7,8], meta-model-assisted GA [9], the Taguchi method [10], or the Response Surface Method (RSM) [5,11]. For the RSM, CFD computations provide a population of design points, which are used to build a response surface (RS).…”

An efficient approach to the geometry optimization problem of a non-axisymmetric flow channel is discussed. The method combines geometrical transformation with a computational fluid dynamics solver, a multi-objective genetic algorithm, and a response surface. This approach, through geometrical modifications and simplifications allows transforming a non-axisymmetric problem into the axisymmetric one in some specific devices i.e., a scroll distributor or a volute. It results in a significant decrease in the problem size, as only the flow in a quasi-2D section of the channel is solved. A significantly broader design space is covered in a much shorter time than in the standard method, and the optimization of large flow problems is feasible with desktop-class computers. One computational point is obtained approximately eight times faster than in full geometry computations. The method was applied to a scroll distributor. For the case under analysis, it was possible to increase flow uniformity, eradicate separation zones, and increase the overall efficiency, which was followed by energy savings of 16% for the scroll. The results indicate that this method can be successfully applied for the optimization of similar problems.

“…The effects of the inclined blade are demonstrated by the variations in static pressure, efficiency, and pressure and velocity distributions at various inclination angles. Additionally, there have been numerical analyses and experimental studies on the method of reducing noise by changing the structure of the volute or the material of the volute tongue of the centrifugal blower [10][11][12][13][14]. However, there has been little research on improving the efficiency of scroll-less plenum blowers.…”

We successfully designed an optimized plenum fan with a three-dimensional, smooth, curved blade. The optimized model revealed that the static pressure in the channel had been increased uniformly and stably, and the flow separation at the leading edge was significantly reduced. To conclude, the three-dimensional blade stabilized the fluid flow, and the flow friction was reduced by suppressing the flow separation as much as possible so that both the static pressure and the static efficiency were clearly improved in comparison with those of the original model. The static efficiency, as a result, was improved by 6% compared with that of the original model.
