Abstract
Intake system structure design is categorized under gas turbine marine technology, and its performance affects the inlet flow field of the compressor, thereby impacting the overall operation stability of the gas turbine. Therefore, this study analyses the structural characteristics of various types of intake systems and establishes a computational domain model. Numerical simulation methods are used to systematically study the internal and external flow fields of the intake system. By varying the structure of the intake system, we compare and study the distribution form of the flow field inside and outside the intake system, velocity and total pressure distribution of the compressor inlet section, and flow loss inside the intake system. The speed and total pressure distortion of the compressor inlet section are analysed quantitatively. It was concluded that inlet distortion causes the leakage flow from some channels to spill into adjacent blade channels at the leading edge of the higher span, resulting in an early compressor stall. Specifically, the compressor stall and working flow margins are reduced by 2.51% and 2.76%, respectively.
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) .
