The BVF diagnosis based on the Q3DHD is used to evaluate the objection function. Numerical simulations and hydraulic performance tests are carried out to compare the impeller designed only by the Q3DHD method and that optimized by the presented method. The comparisons of both the flow fields simulated under the same condition show that（1） the pressure distribution in the optimized impeller is more reasonable and the gas-liquid separation is more efficiently inhibited,（2） the scales of the gas pocket and the vortex decrease remarkably for the optimized impeller,（3） the unevenness of the BVF distributions near the shroud of the original impeller is effectively eliminated in the optimized impeller. The experimental results show that the differential pressure and the maximum efficiency of the optimized impeller are increased by 4% and 2.5%, respectively. Overall, the study indicates that the optimization design method proposed in this paper is feasible.展开更多

The circuit model takes both semiconductor and electrostatic effects into account, and is valid for low and medium signal frequencies. The electrostatic capacitances are extracted with a floating random walk based algorithm, and are then combined with the voltage-dependent semiconductor capacitances to form the equivalent circuit. Compared with the method used in Synopsys＇s Sdevice, which completely simulates the electro/semiconductor effects, the proposed method is more efficient and is able to handle the general TSV layout as well. For several TSV structures, the experimental results validate the accuracy of the proposed method for the frequency range from l0 kHz to 1 GHz. The proposed method demonstrated 47× speedup over the Sdevice for the largest 9-TSV case.展开更多
