Abstract
In this study, the two-dimensional numerical simulations are conducted to study the flow field characteristics, turbine performance and loss mechanism of integrated system of rotating detonation combustor and supersonic turbine under two different directions of detonation wave propagation. The results indicate that the propagation direction of RDW affects the incident angle between OSW and guide vanes, resulting in different operating modes for aligned and unaligned modes. OSW in the turbine cascade undergoes the leading-edge shock, blade surface reflection and trailing edge diffraction. The backward-propagating rake-type shock envelope is formed due to leading-edge shock of the rotor. In misaligned mode, the stator has higher damping of both pressure and temperature. The stator significantly improves the circumferential uniformity of both velocity and pressure, particularly when operating in aligned mode. The total pressure loss in aligned mode is less, therefore the turbine achieves higher rim work and efficiency. The viscosity is one of the main sources of loss in the flow field. The reflected shock waves at the leading edge of the rotor and in the stator cascade are the primary factors contributing to the leading-edge vortices on the stator vanes.
期刊介绍:
Thermal Science and Engineering Progress (TSEP) publishes original, high-quality research articles that span activities ranging from fundamental scientific research and discussion of the more controversial thermodynamic theories, to developments in thermal engineering that are in many instances examples of the way scientists and engineers are addressing the challenges facing a growing population – smart cities and global warming – maximising thermodynamic efficiencies and minimising all heat losses. It is intended that these will be of current relevance and interest to industry, academia and other practitioners. It is evident that many specialised journals in thermal and, to some extent, in fluid disciplines tend to focus on topics that can be classified as fundamental in nature, or are ‘applied’ and near-market. Thermal Science and Engineering Progress will bridge the gap between these two areas, allowing authors to make an easy choice, should they or a journal editor feel that their papers are ‘out of scope’ when considering other journals. The range of topics covered by Thermal Science and Engineering Progress addresses the rapid rate of development being made in thermal transfer processes as they affect traditional fields, and important growth in the topical research areas of aerospace, thermal biological and medical systems, electronics and nano-technologies, renewable energy systems, food production (including agriculture), and the need to minimise man-made thermal impacts on climate change. Review articles on appropriate topics for TSEP are encouraged, although until TSEP is fully established, these will be limited in number. Before submitting such articles, please contact one of the Editors, or a member of the Editorial Advisory Board with an outline of your proposal and your expertise in the area of your review.
