OPTIMIZATION OF A CENTRIFUGAL IMPELLER DESIGN

This paper discusses the procedure, approach and Rocketdyne CFD results for
the optimization of the NASA consortium impeller design. Two different
approaches have been investigated. The first one is to use a tandem blade
arrangement, the main impeller blade is split into two separate rows with thesecond blade row offset circumferentially with respect to the first row. The
second approach is to control the high losses related to secondary flows withinthe impeller passage. Many key parameters have been identified and each
consortium team member involved will optimize a specific parameter using 3-D
CFD analysis. Rocketdyne has provided a series of CFD grids for the consortium
team members. SECA will complete the tandem blade study, SRA will study theeffect of the splitter blade solidity change, NASA LeRC will evaluate the effect of
circumferential position of the splitter blade, VPI will work on the hub to shroud
blade loading distribution, NASA Ames will examine the impeller dischargeleakage flow impacts and Rocketdyne will continue to work on the meridional
contour and the blade leading to trailing edge work distribution. This paper willalso present Rocketdyne resuits from the tandem blade study and from the
blade loading distribution study. It is the ultimate goal of this consortium team to
integrate the available CFD analysis to design an advanced technology impeller
that is suitable for use in the NASA Space Transportation Main Engine (STME)fuel turbopump.
