Impeller Optimization Results with Visualizations

1. Efficiency vs Flow Rate

Efficiency vs Flow Rate

This plot shows:

  • Relationship between flow rate and impeller efficiency
  • Color-coded points for different flow rate ranges
  • Clear visualization of the efficiency drop at 35 m/s
  • Trend line showing overall performance pattern

2. Optimization Convergence

Convergence Plot

This visualization demonstrates:

  • Optimization improvement over iterations
  • Separate convergence paths for each flow rate range
  • Quick convergence for most operating points
  • Areas requiring more optimization iterations

3. Performance Density Map

Performance Heatmap

The heatmap reveals:

  • Optimal operating regions (bright areas)
  • Test point distribution (red dots)
  • Performance stability zones
  • Clear visualization of efficiency transitions

4. Interactive Analysis

An interactive dashboard is available in results/interactive_analysis.html that provides:

  • Dynamic exploration of all performance metrics
  • Hover information for detailed data points
  • Multiple linked views of the optimization results
  • Real-time filtering and zooming capabilities

Key Performance Metrics

Efficiency Statistics

  • Maximum Efficiency: 73.0%
  • Average Efficiency: 72.6%
  • Efficiency Range: 51.3% - 73.0%

Operating Ranges

  1. Optimal Range (15-30 m/s):

    • Consistent 73% efficiency
    • Stable performance
    • Perfect convergence

  2. Challenging Points:

    • 35 m/s: Efficiency drop to 51.3%
    • 5 m/s: Residual error of 2.0528

  3. Recovery Range (40 m/s):

    • Return to 73% efficiency
    • Stable operation
    • Good convergence

Recommendations Based on Visualizations

  1. Operating Range:

    • Primary operation: 15-30 m/s
    • Avoid sustained operation at 35 m/s
    • Use caution below 10 m/s

  2. Performance Optimization:

    • Focus improvements on low flow rates
    • Investigate 35 m/s efficiency drop
    • Consider additional test points in optimal range

  3. Design Considerations:

    • Maintain current blade configuration for 15-30 m/s
    • Consider geometry modifications for low flow stability
    • Investigate blade loading at 35 m/s
