A multi-condition optimization method,including the parameterization of blade pattern,the optimization of Latin hypercube experimental design,the CFD techniques,the genetic algorithm-back propagation(GA-BP)neural network and genetic algorithm,was presented for the blade pattern.Specifically,the non-uniform cubic B-spline curve was used to parameterize the blade pattern,and the optimized Latin hypercube experimental design method was employed for the acquirement of the sample points of GA-BP neural network.The performance analysis of each sample point was accomplished by the CFD techniques.Then,the learning and training of the GA-BP neural network was carried out.Finally,the optimization techniques combining the GA-BP neural network and genetic algorithm were used to solve the multi-condition optimization problems of the blade pattern.Based on the above method,the blade pattern of a hydraulic turbine was optimized and improved.The results show that the efficiency of the optimized hydraulic turbine specified in three conditions is increased by 3.91%,3.59% and 3.09%,respectively,ensuring the constraints of thehead are not less than initial head of the hydraulic turbine.This proves that using the above method to optimize the blade pattern is feasible.
