Data mining optimization of laidback fan-shaped hole to improve film cooling performance

To improve the cooling performance, shape optimization of a laidback fan-shaped film cooling hole was performed. Three geometric parameters, including hole length, lateral expansion angle and forward expansion angle, were selected as the design parameters. Numerical model of the film cooling system was established, validated, and used to generate 32 groups of training samples. Least square support vector machine(LS-SVM) was applied for surrogate model, and the optimal design parameters were determined by a kind of chaotic optimization algorithm. As hole length, lateral expansion angle and forward expansion angle are 90 mm, 20° and 5°, the area-averaged film cooling effectiveness can reach its maximum value in the design space. LS-SVM coupled with chaotic optimization algorithm is a promising scheme for the optimization of shaped film cooling holes.

Hybrid RANS-LES of Shaped Hole Film Cooling on an Adiabatic Flat Plate at Low Reynolds Number

Hybrid RANS-LES methods offer a means of reducing computational cost and setup time to simulate transitional flows. Several methods are evaluated in ANSYS CFX, including Scale-Adaptive Simulation (SAS), Shielded Detached Eddy Simulation (SDES), Stress-Blended Eddy Simulation (SBES), and Zonal Large Eddy Simulation (ZLES), along with a no-model laminar simulation. Each is used to simulate an adiabatic flat plate film cooling experiment of a shaped hole at low Reynolds number. Adiabatic effectiveness is calculated for Blowing Ratio (BR) = 1.5 and Density Ratio (DR) = 1.5. The ZLES method and laminar simulation most accurately match experimental lateral-average adiabatic effectiveness along the streamwise direction from the trailing edge of the hole to 35 hole diameters downstream of the hole (X/D = 0 to X/D = 35), with RMS deviations of 5.1% and 4.2%, and maximum deviations of 8% and 11%, respectively. The accuracy of these models is attributed to the resolution of turbulent structures in not only the mixing region but in the upstream boundary layer as well, where the other methods utilize RANS and do not switch to LES.

Analysis of Film Cooling Effectiveness on Shaped Hole and Antivortex Hole

Film cooling is introduction of a secondary fluid （coolant or injected fluid） at one or more discrete locations along a surface exposed to a high temperature environment to protect that surface not only in the immediate region of injection but also downstream region. This paper numerically investigated the film cooling effectiveness on two types of hole geometries which are cut-shaped hole and antivortex hole. The 3D computational geometries are modeled with a single 30 deg angled hole on a flat surface. The different blowing ratios of 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5,5 and k-Epsilon turbulence model are used in this study. A two dimensional distribution of film cooling effectiveness in the downstream region of the cooling hole is performed. A comparison of spanwise averaged effectiveness is also performed in the field starts from center point of hole to X/D=-30.

Numerical investigation of particle deposition on converging slot-hole film-cooled wall

Numerical research on the dilute particles movement and deposition characteristics in the vicinity of converging slot-hole(console) was carried out, and the effect of hole shape on the particle deposition characteristics was investigated. The EI-Batsh deposition model was used to predict the particle deposition characteristics. The results show that the console hole has an obvious advantage in reducing particle deposition in comparison with cylindrical hole, especially under higher blowing ratio. The coolant jet from console holes can cover the wall well. Furthermore, the rotation direction of vortices near console hole is contrary to that near cylindrical hole. For console holes, particle deposition mainly takes place in the upstream area of the holes.

Improvement of Film Cooling Design for Turbine Vane Leading Edge Considering Combustor Outflow

As the interaction between the combustor and the turbine in the aero-engine continues to increase,the film cooling design considering the combustor swirling outflow has become the research focus.The swirling inflow and high-temperature gas first affect the vane leading edge(LE).However,no practical improved solution for the LE cooling design has been proposed considering the combustor swirling outflow.In this paper,the improved scheme of showerhead cooling is carried out around the two ways of adopting the laid-back-fan-shaped hole and reducing the coolant outflow angle.The film cooling effectiveness(η) and the coolant flow state are obtained by PSP(pressure-sensitive-paint) and numerical simulation methods,respectively.The research results show that the swirling inflow increases the film distribution inhomogeneity by imposing the radial pressure gradient on the vane to make the film excessively gather in some positions.The showerhead film cooling adopts the laid-back-fan-shaped hole to reduce the momentum when the coolant flows out.Although this cooling scheme improves the film attachment and increases the surface-averaged film cooling effectiveness(η_(sur)) by as much as15.4%,the film distribution inhomogeneity increases.After reducing the coolant outlet angle,the wall-tangential velocity of the coolant increases,and the wall-normal velocity decreases.Under the swirl intake condition,both ηand the film distribution uniformity are significantly increased,and the growth of η_(sur) is up to 16.5%.This paper investigates two improved schemes to improve the showerhead cooling under the swirl intake condition to provide a reference for the vane cooling design.

Stage identification and process optimization for fast drilling EDM of film cooling holes using KBSI method

Fast drilling electrical discharge machining(EDM)is widely used in the manufacture of film cooling holes of turbine blades.However,due to the various hole orientations and severe electrode wear,it is relatively intricate to accurately and timely identify the critical moments such as breakout,hole completion in the drilling process,and adjust the machining strategy properly.Existing breakout detection and hole completion determination methods are not suitable for the high-efficiency and fully automatic production of film cooling holes,for they almost all depend on preset thresholds or training data and become less appropriate when machining condition changes.As the breakout and hole completion detection problems can be abstracted to an online stage identification problem,in this paper,a kurtosis-based stage identification(KBSI)method,which uses a novel normalized kurtosis to denote the recent changing trends of gap voltage signals,is developed for online stage identification.The identification accuracy and generalization ability of the KBSI method have been verified in various machining conditions.To improve the overall machining efficiency,the influence of servo control parameters on machining efficiency of each machining stage was analyzed experimentally,and a new stage-wise adaptive control strategy was then proposed to dynamically adjust the servo control parameters according to the online identification results.The performance of the new strategy is evaluated by drilling film cooling holes at different hole orientations.Experimental results show that with the new control strategy,machining efficiency and the machining quality can be significantly improved.

Effects of plasma actuation and hole configuration on film cooling performance

In this paper,plasma actuators are arranged asymmetrically downstream the wall to improve film cooling performance.Effects of blowing ratio,hole configuration and applied voltage on flow characteristics and film cooling effectiveness were investigated numerically on a flat plate.Results show that highest film cooling effectiveness distribution is obtained both in the spanwise and streamwise directions under blowing ratio of 0.5.Average wall film cooling effectiveness of cylindrical hole increases by 251.9%under blowing ratio of 0.5 compared to that under blowing ratio of 1.5.The scale of the counter rotating vortex pairs(CRVP)from fan shaped hole and sister hole are significantly reduced compared to that from cylindrical hole.The console hole has an anti-counter rotating vortex pair(Anti-CRVP),which weakens the entrainment of the CRVP to the coolant air near the wall.Compared with the cylindrical hole,average wall film cooling effectivenesses for fan shaped hole,sister hole and console hole increase by 73.1%,97.5%and 119.9%.The adherent performance of the coolant air is enhanced after applying plasma actuator.The aerodynamic actuation of the plasma results in the rebound of the fluid close to the wall at 24 kV applied voltage.Average wall film cooling effectiveness of the console hole at 12 kV applied voltage is 10.6%higher than that without plasma.

Discharge Coefficient of 3-in-1 Hole with Various Inclination Angle and Hole Pitch

Discharge coefficients of 3-in-1 hole of three inclination angles and three spacing between holes are presented which described the discharge behavior of a row of holes. The inlet and outlet of the 3-in-1 hole both have a 15° lateral expansion. The flow conditions considered are mainstream turbulence intensities and density ratios of secondary flow to mainstream. The momentum flux ratios varied in the range from 1 to 4. The comparison is made of the discharge coefficients of three shaped holes to find an optimal hole with low flow loss. The results show that the discharge coefficients of 3-in- 1 hole are highest in three shaped holes and therefore this article is focused on the measurements of discharge coefficients of 3-in-1 hole for various geometries and aerodynamic parameters. The measured results of 3-in-1 hole indicate that turbulence intensities, density ratios and momentum flux ratios have weak influence on discharge coefficients for inclination angle of 20°. The high turbulence intensity yields the small discharge coefficients for inclination angle of 45° and 90°. The increased both momentum flux ratios and density ratios lead to the increased discharge coefficients for inclination angle of 45° and 90°. The increased inclination angle causes the rapidly increased discharge coefficients. There is a weak dependence of discharge coefficients on hole pitches.

气膜孔对DD6镍基单晶高温合金高周疲劳强度的影响研究

气膜孔因其特殊的几何构型,在提升涡轮叶片冷却效率的同时,孔边往往存在较为明显的应力集中现象,导致叶片的高周疲劳(High Cycle Fatigue,HCF)失效。因此,本文开展了900℃下振动疲劳试验,以评估圆柱型和簸箕型气膜孔对DD6镍基单晶高温合金高周疲劳强度的影响,并通过扫描电子显微镜(Scanning Electron Microscope,SEM)和能谱仪(Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy,EDS)分析气膜孔模拟件HCF失效机理。研究发现孔边氧化层在交替载荷作用下存在均布开裂现象,形成尖角,最终导致裂纹萌生,并沿着{111}滑移面扩展。通过有限元仿真分析了孔边应力应变分布,结合临界距离理论,建立了气膜孔高周疲劳强度评估方法和基于疲劳缺口系数经验公式的气膜孔高周疲劳强度预测方法。结果表明:簸箕型气膜孔的高周疲劳强度为298.03 MPa,圆柱型气膜孔高周疲劳强度为321.35 MPa;气膜孔高周疲劳强度预测误差在10%以内。所建立的含异型气膜孔的DD6单晶高温合金高周疲劳强度评估、预测方法可为航空发动机涡轮叶片膜冷却结构疲劳性能的设计和评估提供技术支持。

双层壁涡轮叶片短径扇形气膜孔冷却性能数值研究

针对高冷效双层壁涡轮叶片表面应用短径扇形孔设计准则及强化气膜冷却,机理依旧不明的现状,本文利用流固弱耦合数值模拟技术研究了典型7-7-7和11-11-11扇形气膜孔应用于双层壁涡轮叶片设计的冷却特性。在宽范围吹风比下(0.6~2.4),比较了三种扇形气膜孔布置方案,包含叶片两侧同构布局7-7-7孔(简称SH1布局)和11-11-11孔(简称SH2布局)及新提出的异构布局(简称SH3布局),并以常规圆形孔作为比较依据。通过数值结果对比指出:在双层壁表面应用扇形孔代替圆形孔,最低可提升吸力面综合冷却效率17%,压力面7%。然而,扇形孔也会诱导两侧冷却性能差异扩大的现象。应用两侧孔型异构布局,要求在压力侧布置相较于吸力侧各向扩张角更大的扇形孔,可以有效改善叶片内部的流量配置,从而在提升综合冷却效率的基础上兼顾两侧温差缩小。在高吹风比条件下,上述异构诱发的冷却优势更为显著。但相对吸力侧、压力侧对扇形孔型结构参数的敏感性更大。因此,压力侧的异型孔气膜冷却挑战性更大。
