Abstract

In order to reduce exit swirl and obtain the desired Mach number, axial exit guide vanes (EGV) are often employed in a centrifugal compressor. NASA CC3 compressor, with wedge vane diffuser and without EGV, is considered as the base model for the analysis and validation. An axial flow domain with exit guide vane is added to this base model after the diffuser outlet to study the effect on the compressor performance. The performance of exit guide vane with different profiles: flat plate, symmetric wedge, circular arc, and airfoil vane profiles by maintaining the same chord, number of vanes, and flow angle of the vanes are studied. Numerical simulations are carried out with 60 number of exit guide vanes for all four types of vanes. Among several combinations, when the centrifugal compressor is equipped with 60 circular arc vanes as EGV, the efficiency and pressure recovery values at the design point have increased by 6.5% and 8.9%, respectively.

不同类型的外导叶对高压离心压缩机性能的影响

为了减小出口涡流并获得理想的马赫数，离心压气机常采用轴向出口导叶。NASA CC3压缩机采用楔形叶片扩压器，无EGV，作为分析验证的基础模型。在此基础模型中，在扩压器出口后增加一个带出口导叶的轴向流域，研究其对压气机性能的影响。研究了平面型、对称楔型、圆弧型和翼型等不同叶型出口导叶在保持相同弦数、叶数和叶角的情况下的性能。采用60个出口导叶对四种叶片进行了数值模拟。在几种组合中，当离心压缩机配置60个圆弧叶片作为EGV时，设计点效率和压力恢复值分别提高了6.5%和8.9%。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics (JAFM) is an international, peer-reviewed journal which covers a wide range of theoretical, numerical and experimental aspects in fluid mechanics. The emphasis is on the applications in different engineering fields rather than on pure mathematical or physical aspects in fluid mechanics. Although many high quality journals pertaining to different aspects of fluid mechanics presently exist, research in the field is rapidly escalating. The motivation for this new fluid mechanics journal is driven by the following points: (1) there is a need to have an e-journal accessible to all fluid mechanics researchers, (2) scientists from third- world countries need a venue that does not incur publication costs, (3) quality papers deserve rapid and fast publication through an efficient peer review process, and (4) an outlet is needed for rapid dissemination of fluid mechanics conferences held in Asian countries. Pertaining to this latter point, there presently exist some excellent conferences devoted to the promotion of fluid mechanics in the region such as the Asian Congress of Fluid Mechanics which began in 1980 and nominally takes place in one of the Asian countries every two years. We hope that the proposed journal provides and additional impetus for promoting applied fluids research and associated activities in this continent. The journal is under the umbrella of the Physics Society of Iran with the collaboration of Isfahan University of Technology (IUT) .
