Experimental and Numerical Study of Wall Flow Pattern of Turbine Cascade with Tip Clearance

By means of flow visualization on the wall surface and three dimensional flow field numerical simulation for the turbine cascade with 3.6% relative tip clearance, characteristics of the wall flow of the turbine cascade with large tip clearance is analyzed. The flow pattern on the wall surface near the trailing edge is especially discussed in detail by numerical simulation. Results of the experimental and numerical simulation show that the flow near the cascade trailing edge is very complex, and the wall flow patterns near the upper and down trailing edges are clearly different due to the influence of blade tip clearance.

The Numerical Simulation of Gas Turbine Inlet-Volute Flow Field

The structural and aerodynamic performance of the air inlet volute has an important influence on the performance of the gas turbine. On one hand, it requires the airflow flowing through inlet volute as even as possible, in order to reduce the pressure loss, to avoid a decrease in the effective output power and an increase of the fuel consumption rate of the internal combustion engine which indicate the inefficiency of the entire power unit;On the other hand, it requires the size of the inlet volute to be as small as possible in order to save mounting space and production costs. The thesis builds the structure model and develops flow fields numerical simulation of several different sizes of the inlet volutes. Further, the unreasonable aerodynamic structure is improved according to the flow field characteristics and thereby, a better aerodynamic performance of the inlet volute is obtained.

Numerical Simulation on Unsteady Flow Mechanism of a 1.5-Stage Axial Transonic Compressor

In this paper,a numerical simulation method is used to calculate a 1.5-stage axial transonic compressor to explore its unsteady flow mechanism.The performance curve is compared with the experimental data to verify the calculation method with a high numerical accuracy,which shows that the unsteady calculation has good reliability.According to the analysis of the data from the monitoring points under the near-stall condition,the unsteady disturbances originate from the tip region of blade and perform the strongest at the blade pressure surface with a broadband characteristic.Further analysis is conducted by combining with the characteristics of the transient flow field at the tip of blade.The results show that the unsteady pressure fluctuations are caused by the migration of the new vortex cores.These new vortex cores are generated by the breakdown of leakage vortex in the downstream,which is induced by the leakage vortex and shock wave interference.Moreover,the relationship between the unsteady flow characteristics and the working conditions is also studied.The leakage vortex intensity and the shock wave strength gradually increase with the decrease of flow rate.When the combination of the leakage vortex intensity and shock wave strength reaches the first threshold,a single frequency of unsteady disturbances appears at the blade tip.When the combination of the leakage vortex intensity and shock wave strength reaches the second threshold,the frequency of unsteady disturbances changes to a broadband.

In uence of Endwall Boundary Layer Suction on the Flow Fields of a Critically Loaded Di usion Cascade

Boundary layer suction is an e ective method used to delay separations in axial compressors. Most studies on bound?ary layer suction have focused on improving the performance of compressors,whereas few studies investigated the influence on details of the flow fields,especially vortexes in compressors. CFD method is validated with experi?mental data firstly. Three single?slot and one double?slot endwall boundary layer suction schemes are designed and investigated. In addition to the investigation of aerodynamic performance of the cascades with and without suction,variations in corner open separation,passage vortex,and concentration shedding vortex,which are rarely seen for the flow controlled blades in published literatures,are analyzed. Then,flow models,which are the ultimate aim,of both baseline and aspirated cascades are established. Results show that single?slot endwall suction scheme adjacent to the suction surface can e ectively remove the corner open separation. With suction mass flow rate of 0.85%,the overall loss coe cient and endwall loss coe cient of the cascade are reduced by 25.2% and 48.6%,respectively. Besides,this scheme increases the static pressure rise coe cient of the cascade by 3.2% and the flow turning angle of up to 3.3° at 90% span. The concentration shedding vortex decreases,whereas the passage vortex increases. For single?slot suction schemes near the middle pitchwise of the passage,the concentration shedding vortex increases and the passage vortex is divided into two smaller passage vortexes,which converge into a single?passage vortex near the trailing edge section of the cascade. For the double?slot suction scheme,triple?passage vortexes are presented in the blade passage. Some new vortex structures are discovered,and the novel flow models of aspirated compressor cascade are proposed,which are important to improve the design of multi?stage aspirated compressors.

Numerical and experimental investigation of quantitative relationship between secondary flow intensity and inviscid blade force in axial compressors

The secondary flow attracts wide concerns in the aeroengine compressors since it has become one of the major loss sources in modern high-performance compressors.But the research about the quantitative relationship between secondary flow and inviscid blade force needs to be more detailed.In this paper,a database of 889 three-dimensional linear cascades was built.An indicator,called Secondary Flow Intensity(SFI),was used to express the loss caused by secondary flow.The quantitative relationship between the SFI and inviscid blade force deterioration was researched.Blade oil flow and Computation Fluid Dynamics(CFD)results of some cascades were also used to cross-validate.Results suggested that all numerical cascade cases can be divided into 3 clusters by the SFI,which are called Clusters A,B and C in the order of the increasing SFI indicator.The corner stall,known as the strong corner separation,only happens when the SFI is high.Both calculations and oil flow experiments show that the SFI would stay at a low level if the vortex core at the endwall surface does not appear.The strong interaction of Kutta condition and endwall cross-flow is considered the dominant mechanism of higher secondary flow losses,rather than the secondary flow penetration depth on the suction surface.In conclusion,the inviscid blade force spanwise deterioration is strongly related to the SFI.The correlation of the SFI and spanwise inviscid blade force deterioration is given in this paper.The correlation could provide a quantitative reference for estimating secondary flow losses in the design.

Study on the influence of pneumatic probe on the wake flow field of transonic turbine cascade

The pneumatic probe is widely used for contact measurements in turbomachinery flow field research.However,it inevitably interferes with the original flow field,leading to additional errors,particularly in wake flow fields or transonic regions with significant pressure gradients.This study employed Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes delete and high-fidelity numerical simulation to investigate the impact of an inserted pneumatic probe on the wake flow field of a transonic turbine blade and compared it to the baseline flow field.Results indicate that the probe causes the shock waves premature occurrence in the high subsonic wake region near the turbine blade trailing edge.These shock waves affect vortex shedding by thickening the boundary layer near the trailing edge and changing the shedding pattern from high-frequency-low-energy to low-frequencyhigh-energy.In addition,the extra flow loss is incurred,and the blade's heat transfer characteristic is changed.This research provides a reference for testing experiments in complex transonic flow fields,guiding experimental researchers to minimize instrument interference with the original flow field.

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of the Unsteady Tip Leakage Flow in Axial Compressor Cascade

For convenience of both measurement and adjusting the clearance size and incidence, the current research is mainly conducted by experiments on an axial compressor linear cascade. The characteristics and the condition under which the unsteadiness of tip leakage flow would occur were investigated by dynamic measuring in different clearances, inlet velocities and incidences. From the experiment it is found that increasing tip clearance size or reducing rotor tip incidence can affect the strength of the tip clearance flow. Then the experimental results also indicate the tip leakage shows instability in certain conditions, and the frequency of unsteadiness is great influenced by inflow angle. The condition of occurrence of tip leakage flow unsteadiness is when the leakage flow is strong enough to reach the pressure side of the adjacent blade. The main cause of tip leakage flow unsteadiness is the tip blade loading.
