The spanwise distribution of impeller exit circulation (SDIEC) has an important influence on the performance of the impeller. To quantitatively study the influence of SDIEC on optimization results, a comprehensive optimization system composed of the computational fluid dynamics, inverse design method, design of experiment, surrogate model, and optimization algorithm was used to optimize a mixed flow pump impeller in two different cases. In the first case, the influence of SDIEC was ignored, while in the second case, the influence of SDIEC was considered. The result shows that the optimization upper limit can be further improved when the influence of SDIEC is considered in the optimization process. The pump efficiency of the preferred optimized impeller F1 obtained in the first case at 1.2Qdes, 1.0Qdes, and 0.8Qdes are increased by 6.48%, 2.41%, and 0.06%, respectively, over the baseline model. Moreover, the pump efficiency of the preferred optimized impeller S2 obtained in the second case further increased by 0.76%, 1.24%, and 1.21%, respectively, over impeller F1. Furthermore, the influence of SDIEC on the performance of the mixed flow pump is clarified by a comparative analysis of the internal flow field.
