Abstract

Jet fish pumps are efficient hydraulic machinery for fish transportation. Yet, the complex flow phenomenon in it is the major potential risk for damage to fish. The dangerous flow phenomena for fish, such as radial pressure gradient and exposure strain rate, are usually controlled by the structural parameters of jet fish pumps. Therefore, the injury rate of fish can be theoretically decreased by the structural optimization design of jet fish pumps. However, there is a complex nonlinear relation between flow phenomena and key structural parameters. To solve this problem, the present paper established a complex mapping between flow phenomena and structural parameters, based on computational fluid dynamics and a back-propagation neural network. According to this mapping, an NSGA-II multi-objective genetic algorithm was used to optimize the structure of jet fish pumps. The results showed that the optimized jet fish pumps could reduce the internal radial pressure gradient, exposure strain rate and danger zone to 40%, 12.5% and 50% of the pre-optimization level, respectively. Therefore, the optimized jet fish pump could significantly reduce the risk of fish injuries and keep the pump efficiency at a high level. The results could provide a certain reference for relevant structural optimization problems.
