A Similitude Method and the Corresponding Blade Design of a Low-Speed Large-Scale Axial Compressor Rotor

A similitude method to model the tip clearance flow in a high-speed compressor with a low-speed model is presented in this paper.The first step of this method is the derivation of similarity criteria for tip clearance flow,on the basis of an inviscid model of tip clearance flow.The aerodynamic parameters needed for the model design are then obtained from a numerical simulation of the target high-speed compressor rotor.According to the aerodynamic and geometric parameters of the target compressor rotor,a large-scale low-speed rotor blade is designed with an inverse blade design program.In order to validate the similitude method,the features of tip clearance flow in the low-speed model compressor are compared with the ones in the high-speed compressor at both design and small flow rate points.It is found that not only the trajectory of the tip leakage vortex but also the interface between the tip leakage flow and the incoming main flow in the high-speed compressor match well with that of its low speed model.These results validate the effectiveness of the similitude method for the tip clearance flow proposed in this paper.

周向单槽轴向位置对低速轴流压气机稳定性影响机理研究

本文采用数值模拟方法捕捉到了不同位置周向单槽对某低速压气机稳定性裕度的影响规律并分析其原因。结果表明:周向槽位于叶片前缘附近扩稳效果差,位于叶顶弦长中下游区域扩稳效果好。采用机匣壁面剪切应力定量识别泄漏流与主流交界面的轴向位置,发现交界面在节流过程中主要存在两种移动规律,并由此将所研究的周向槽分为准模态和突尖两类周向槽。对于突尖类周向槽机匣,交界面的位置取决于叶顶间隙流体的轴向动量平衡。周向槽可以削弱与主流相抗衡的流体的轴向动量,这种削弱作用越强,周向槽机匣的扩稳效果越好。
