Abstract
A braking torque calculation model for hydraulic retarder is built and corrected by test. Based on the corrected model the sensitivity of braking torque to cascade parameters is analyzed and the inlet and outlet angles of impeller blade of a hydraulic retarder are optimized with braking torque as objective. The results show that the outcomes of simulation and test well agree with each other and the braking performance of optimized hydraulic retarder is significantly improved.
