混合层中的流向涡与Rayleigh离心不稳定

用有限差分方法求解三维Ｎａｖｉｅｒ－Ｓｔｏｋｅｓ方程和连续性方程，对时间发展的平面混合层中流向涡的产生原因进行了分析．将Ｒａｙｌｅｉｇｈ的轴对称无粘离心不稳定理论推广应用于分析混合层的二维基本流，并导出一无量纲量Ｒａｙ＝－（ｒ／νθ）νθ／ｒ，其中νθ为一流体质点相对于平均速度的速度，ｒ为该质点迹线的曲率半径．当Ｒａｙ＞１．０时就会发生离心不稳定．采用这一判别式后发现混合层中展向涡的周围，尤其是在辫带区，的确存在离心不稳定区域，而过去的实验结果也表明三维不稳定产生于展向涡之间的辫带区．因此有理由认为，除非雷诺数特别小。

Flow Instability of a Centrifugal Pump Determined Using the Energy Gradient Method

The stability of the centrifugal pump has not been well revealed because of the complexity of internal flow. To analyze the flow characteristics of a centrifugal pump operating at low capacity, methods of numerical simulation and experimental research were adopted in this paper. Characteristics of the inner flow were obtained. Standard k-s turbulence models were used to calculate the inner flow of the pump under off-design conditions. The distri- bution of the energy gradient function K was obtained by three-dimensional numerical simulation at different flow rates. The relative velocity component was acquired from the absolute velocity obtained in particle image velocimetry. By comparing with experimental results, it was found that flow instability occurs at the position of maximum K. The flow stability reduces with an increasing flow rate. The research results provide a theoretical basis for the optimization design of a centrifugal pump.

Unsteady Behavior and Control of Vortices in Centrifugal Compressor

Two examples of the use of vortex control to reduce noise and enhance the stable operating range of a centrifugal compressor are presented in this paper.In the case of high-flow operation of a centrifugal compressor with a vaned diffuser,a discrete frequency noise induced by interaction between the impeller-discharge flow and the diffuser vane,which appears most notably in the power spectra of the radiated noise,can be reduced using a tapered diffuser vane(TDV) without affecting the performance of the compressor.Twin longitudinal vortices produced by leakage flow passing through the tapered portion of the diffuser vane induce secondary flow in the direction of the blade surface and prevent flow separation from the leading edge of the diffuser.The use of a TDV can effectively reduce both the discrete frequency noise generated by the interaction between the impeller-discharge flow and the diffuser surface and the broadband turbulent noise component.In the case of low-flow operation,a leading-edge vortex(LEV) that forms on the shroud side of the suction surface near the leading edge of the diffuser increases significantly in size and blocks flow in the diffuser passage.The formation of an LEV may adversely affect the performance of the compressor and may cause the diffuser to stall.Using a one-side tapered diffuser vane to suppress the evolution of an LEV,the stable operating range of the compressor can be increased by more than 12 percent,and the pressure-rise characteristics of the compressor can be improved.The results of a supplementary examination of the structure and unsteady behavior of LEVs,conducted by means of detailed numerical simulations,are also presented.

Dynamical System Analysis of Unsteady Phenomena inCentrifugal Compressor

Surge and rotating stall occurring in a centrifugal compressor system are investigated by using a phaseportrait reconstruction method. From experimentally measured time series of data, the method clari-fied the cyclic behavior of surge. For rotating stall, there still remain problems in the phase portraitdue to the chaotic behavior. However, the results obtained by the present method are able to providenew insights to the modelings for surge and rotating stall.

The evolution and instability of wake structure around an impulsively stopped sphere with a streamwise magnetic field for 600≤Re≤1400

The evolution of wake structure in a flow around an impulsively stopped sphere in an incompressible viscous fluid is investigated under the influence of a streamwise magnetic field at moderate Reynolds numbers.The research parameter range is 600≤Re≤1400 and 0≤N≤10,where Re and N are the Reynolds number and the interaction parameter,respectively.A vortex ring system is developed,which contains the primary and secondary vortex rings after stopping the sphere.The flow will keep axisymmetric before stopping the sphere for the purpose to investigate the instability of shedding vortex rings.Without the magnetic field,an azimuthal instability will develop on the secondary vortex ring when the Reynolds number is large enough,e.g.,Re=1200.It is caused by the centrifugal movement of the secondary vortex ring and this instability can be suppressed by the streamwise magnetic field.Furthermore,an obvious oscillation caused by the motion of the primary vortex ring on the drag force is found after stopping the sphere.The amplitude of such oscillation increases with enlarging the Reynolds number but decreases with enlarging the magnetic field intensity.

Impeller-diffuser interaction:analysis of the unsteady flow structures based on their direction of propagation

The present study is focused on the analysis of the deterministic fluctuations arising from the rotor-stator interaction within a transonic centrifugal compressor stage. A spectral analysis applied to the unsteady flow field leads to the values of the rotation speed of most energetic modes. From these values, the various structures are classified according to their direction of propagation which leads to a comprehensive description of the underlying mechanisms involved in the interaction.
