Numerical Study on the Duct Noise Control of Single-Stage Axial Flow Fan with Wave Leading Edge Stator Blade Configurations

This study focuses on a single-stage axial flow fan, investigating the effect of three kinds of wave leading edge stator blades on its noise reduction. The DDES method and the duct acoustic analogy theory based on the penetrable data surface were used for noise prediction. The results showed that the three kinds of wave leading edge blades were effective in reducing the rotor-stator interaction tonal noise and also have a certain inhibitory effect on broadband noise. The A10W15 stator blade can effectively reduce broadband noise in the frequency range of 2200 - 4200 Hz. When the amplitude is increased to 20, the noise reduction effect is further enhanced. However, when the amplitude is increased to 30, the broadband noise reduction effect is no longer significant. Further research shows that the wave leading edge stator blades can significantly change the pressure fluctuation distribution on the leading edge and suction surface, which control the modal energy distribution. Finally, this paper analyzed multiple factors affecting the broadband noise reduction, such as the noise source cut-off and cut-on effect and correlation. The purpose of this paper is to explore the laws of the influence of wave leading edge blades on the duct noise of real fan, and to reveal its noise control mechanism. .

Method for utilizing PIV to investigate high curvature and acceleration boundary layer flows around the compressor blade leading edge

Particle Image Velocimetry(PIV)is a well-developed and contactless technique in experimental fluid mechanics,but the strong velocity gradient and streamline curvature near the wall substantially limits its accuracy improvement.This paper presents a data processing procedure combining conventional PIV and newly developed Mirror Interchange(MI)based Interface-PIV for the measurement of the boundary layer parameter development in the blade leading edge region.The synthetic particle images are used to analyze the measurement errors in the entire procedure.Overall,three types of errors,namely the errors caused by the Window Deformation Iterative Multigrid(WIDIM)algorithm,the discrete data interpolation and integration,and the wall offset uncertainty,comprise the main measurement error.Specifically,the errors due to the discrete data interpolation and integration and the WIDIM algorithm comprise the mean bias,which can be corrected through the error analysis method proposed in the present work.Meanwhile,the errors due to the WIDIM algorithm and the wall offset uncertainty contribute to the measurement uncertainty.Computational fluid dynamics-based synthetic particle flows were generated to verify the newly developed PIV data processing procedure and the corresponding error analysis method.Results showed that the data processing method could improve the accuracy of PIV measurements for boundary layer flows with high curvature and acceleration and even with significant flow separation bubbles.Finally,the data processing method is also applied in a PIV experiment to investigate the boundary layer flows around a compressor blade leading edge,and several credible boundary flow parameters were obtained.

Investigation of film cooling on the leading edge of turbine blade based on detached eddy simulation

In order to assess the influences of curved hole passage on cooling effectiveness and flow structure of turbine blade leading edge,the detached eddy simulation is applied to numerically investigate the AGTB turbine cascade under the condition of global blowing ratio M=0.7.The straight or curved cooling holes are located at either the pressure or suction side near the leading edge.The analysis and discussion focus on the local turbulence structure;influence of pressure gradient on the structure,and distribution of cooling effectiveness on the blade surface.The numerical results show that cooling hole with curved passage could bring positive impact on the increase of the local cooling effectiveness.On the suction side,the increased cooling effectiveness could be about 82% and about 77% on the pressure side,compared to the conventional straight hole.

Experimental Investigation on the Adiabatic Film Effectiveness for Counter-Inclined Simple and Laid-Back Film-Holes of Leading Edge

The adiabatic film effectivenessηof the counter-inclined film-holes fed by varying internal coolant intake on the turbine vane leading edge model was experimentally investigated.A semi-cylinder model was adopted to model the vane leading edge which was arranged with two-row holes,which located at±15°on both sides.The four Leading edge model with the combinations of hole-shape(simple holes and laid-back holes)and intake structure(plenum and impingement)were tested under four blowing ratios M of 0.5,1.0,1.5,and 2.0.Theηcontours were obtained by the transient measurement technique based on double thermochromic liquid-crystals.The results present that theηis sensitive to the M for the four studied leading edge cases.The addition of impingement enhances theηfor the two studied holes.The film jets make the coolant-flow closed to the target surface,resulting in higherηunder lower M.The core with higherηappears in the downstream area of hole-exit.Theηenhancement can be provided to almost the identical level by adding the impingement-holes and improving the hole-exit shaping in most areas.With increasing M,the jets with stronger exit normal momentum penetrate into the main-flow.The impingement addition may be a more effective program to upgrade theηrelatively to the exit shaping under larger M.Besides,the laid-back holes with impingement case produce the highest film cooling performance among the four cases,providing great potential in the leading edge especially under larger M.

Dependency of the pulsed electrochemical machining characteristics of Inconel 718 in NaNO_(3)solution on the pulse current

Pulsed electrochemical machining(PECM)has attracted increasing interest as a technique to improve material dissolution localization and surface quality.This work systematically investigates the effects of pulse current on the surface morphology,profile accuracy,and corrosion behavior of Inconel 718(IN718)in NaNO_(3)solution.Polarization behavior reveals that IN718 in NaNO_(3)solution during pulse current machining exhibited significant passive,transpassive,and re-passive characteristics.The passive film generated at the re-passive state contained some oxides and had a loose porous structure.The critical value for the quantity of electric charge to rupture the passive film was determined to be 26.88℃cm^(−2).The current efficiency indicates that the material removal rate of IN718 in NaNO_(3)solution during pulse current machining was nonlinear.The PECM experiments indicate that the loading process of the electrical double layer was prolonged with an increased workpiece scale,i.e.,the loading process of the electrical double layer lasted for the entire pulse-on time when the workpiece scale was 100 mm^(2)at a frequency of more than 10 kHz regardless of the duty cycle.A pulse current with a short pulse length and short pulse period improved the profile accuracy,as did the low applied voltage and small workpiece scale.The dissolution mechanism of IN718 in NaNO_(3)solution was also investigated based on the effective pulse current time.Finally,the leading-edge structure of a ruled blade with good dimensional accuracy and surface quality was successfully fabricated.The maximum deviations of the machined profile were effectively restricted within 0.057 mm,and the surface roughness was Ra=0.358μm.
