An improved methodology for optimum design of radial flow impellers is presented. The base methodology consisted of a mathematical optimization technique matched to a flow model base upon an inviscid `quasi 3-D' method linked to a prediction of the boundary layer growth along the blade and end-wall surfaces. The enhanced strategy proposed in the paper utilizes a genetic optimization algorithm and a number of refinement steps. The search of an impeller configuration for satisfactory performance in an assigned field of operation is also addressed.

The enhanced strategy proposed in the paper utilizes a genetic optimization algorithm and a number of refinement steps.
