This paper handles a hybrid multiple optimization technique to concurrently enhance hydraulic efficiency and decrease unsteady radial forces resulting from fluid-induced vibration of a single-channel pump for wastewater treatment. A single-channel impeller and volute was optimized systematically by using a hybrid particle swarm optimization and genetic algorithm coupled with surrogate modeling. Steady and unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier−Stokes analyses were conducted to optimize the internal flow path in the single-channel pump. Design variables for controlling the internal flow cross-sectional area of the single-channel impeller and volute in the single-channel pump were chosen to concurrently optimize objective functions with hydraulic efficiency and the unsteady radial forces resulting from impeller−volute interaction. The optimization results clearly showed that the arbitrary cluster optimum design considerably enhanced hydraulic efficiency and decreased the unsteady radial forces concurrently, compared to the reference design. Finally, the hydraulic performance of the optimized prototype model was verified experimentally. Then, it was proved that the proposed technique is a practical tool for designing a single-channel pump.
