The flowfield in ducts is three-dimensional due to the existence of secondary flow, so ordinary two-dimensional actuations have poor effect on reforming the flow. Synthetic jet actuations extended in different spanwise positions were employed to manipulate the flow, and compared with the two-dimensional actuation, The interaction mechanics between flow separation and secondary flow was studied at first. It was found that the secondary flow enhanced Ol~ weakened flow separation depending on the spanwise position of synthetic jet actuators. Moreover, the J flow separation enhanced the secondary flow, thus causing lower pressure recovery and flow distortion in the duct outlet.

In the present study, the flow behavior in the LSD with the tandem cascade has been analyzed numerically by using the commercial CFD code of ANSYS-CFX12. It was shown clearly that the higher pressure recovery was achieved by applying the LSD with the tandem cascade, and the high pressure recovery is based on the high pressure rise in the vaneless space upstream of the LSD and the high blade loading of the front blade of the LSD. The high pressure recovery in the LSD could be achieved by controlling the flow separation on the suc-tion surface of the front blade and also on that of the rear blade due to formation of the favorable secondary flow and due to increase in mass flow passing through the slit section between the front and rear blades.展开更多
