This, in turn, reduces the fuel consumption of the internal combustion engine as a lower pressure upstream of the turbine increases the obtained charge-cycle work. In this paper, two components of a nozzled radial turbine system are redesigned: Both the volute upstream and the 90°-bend downstream of the turbine wheel will be improved. To reduce pressure drops, a gradient-based shape optimization workflow based on adjoint methods is applied. The scheme works in an iterative manner, i.e. after running a primal and an adjoint simulation to gather shape sensitivities, the geometry is deformed and the next iteration is started. A steepest descent approach is used to guide the optimization process. As parametrization strategy the Vertex Morphing Method is used to explore design potential, while maintaining smooth surfaces. Both the volute and the bend are optimized successfully leading to an efficiency increase of the turbine system of up to 3%, depending on the load condition.","PeriodicalId":194198,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2E: Turbomachinery","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116309176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are, however, also often characterized by ultra-low aspect ratios. In these designs, the secondary losses dominate the overall loss share, and under a certain aspect ratio, the secondary structures from the hub and shroud begin to interact. This interaction causes a decrease in aerodynamic performance. Previous studies have suggested that the general flow phenomena between radial outflow and axial turbines could share several similarities due to observed trends in performance prediction. The blade outlet Mach number is known to affect the spanwise positions of the secondary vortices in axial turbine blading and therefore, its effect is also tested here for an ultra-low aspect ratio radial outflow turbine cascade. In addition, there are currently no cascade level experimental data publicly available, and the suitability of axial turbine loss correlations under these conditions remains an open question. From this background, the current study presents an experimental, numerical, and loss correlation analysis of the effects of an isentropic Mach number in a radial outflow turbine cascade. An experimental campaign is used to validate the numerical model both quantitatively and qualitatively. In addition, the validity of the axial turbine loss correlation is extended to ultra-low aspect ratios by introducing a new variable called penetration length. The main findings are: 1. The flow phenomena do not differ significantly from what has been observed with axial turbines, 2. The effect of penetration length calculation method on the loss breakdown is relatively low, and 3. With ultra-low aspect ratio radial outflow turbines, the loss breakdown is markedly changed when the extended Benner’s approach is employed.","PeriodicalId":194198,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2E: Turbomachinery","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129608483","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Time resolved Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurements have been adopted to survey the boundary layer developing over a flat plate under prescribed adverse pressure gradients typical of turbomachinery components. The tests have been performed while varying the pressure gradient, the Reynolds number and the inlet free-stream turbulence intensity (FSTI). Two exemplary cases, referring to bypass and separated flow transition, are discussed by means of principal axis analysis and proper orthogonal decomposition (POD). The POD is used to provide statistical representation of the flow structures and to compute the turbulence production (i.e., the mean flow energy dissipation) due to the dynamical features observed for the different transition types.\u0000 Reduced order model representations of the flow field are provided and their contribution to the total turbulence kinetic energy production is isolated. This analysis is closed by the inspection of the eigenvectors of the strain rate and Reynolds stress tensors. For the separated flow case, it is shown that the eigenvectors of strain rate and shear tensor are almost perfectly aligned downstream of the maximum displacement of the bubble. The reduced order model reconstruction of the Kelvin-Helmholtz shed vortices provides the largest part of the overall TKE production. For the high FSTI induced transition, the eigenvectors of the shear and stress tensors do not have the same direction.

The authors in previous papers have discussed about the multi-row influence at the torsional mode resonant crossing and this paper extends the study to higher order modes. The paper talks about both the steady and unsteady influence of having additional rows in the configuration. It makes use of the time transformation (TT) method available in CFX to reduce the number of passages required in each row. Since the number of vanes from both the stators and the inlet guide vanes (IGV) is the same, the excitations from upstream rows and the potential field influence of the downstream row all contribute to the forcing, which is quantified both in terms of modal force and individual blade response. This paper describes the multi-row influence on the chordwise bending modes at both the peak efficiency (PE) and the high loading (HL) operating condition. To ascertain this influence, a 3-row case with just the two neighboring stators (S1, R2, S2 a 4-row case with the downstream rotor as well (S1, R2, S2, R3) and a 5-row with the upstream IGV were considered. While the 3-row case helped to determine the influence of neighboring stators on the forcing, the 4-row case provided the influence of the downstream rotor on the forced response behavior. Since the number of IGV vanes was the same as the neighboring stators the nature of interference between the stator and IGV wakes was determined as well. The 4-row case helped investigate physical wave reflections off a downstream rotating row, which had a significant influence on the modal force.\u0000 The final section of the paper focuses on the mistuning response, which essentially couples frequency variations with the structural and aerodynamic aspects to predict individual blade responses, which are compared to experimental data. A mistuning analysis was carried out with the frequency mistuning present in the experimental facility Some of the key conclusions from this investigation are: 1) The interference of the IGV with the downstream stator (S1) is destructive at peak efficiency and constructive at high loading in line with the previous observation at torsional modes; 2) Physical wave reflections are constructive at all operating conditions at higher order modes unlike torsional modes where it was destructive; 3) The 3-row case gives the most accurate prediction in terms of average blade response and the 5-row case in terms of maximum blade response. Hence one of the significant findings is that, the aeromechanical behavior can be ascertained to a great deal of accuracy using just 3-rows at higher order modes crossings.","PeriodicalId":194198,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2E: Turbomachinery","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127960915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are characterized by a compact design, providing a large shaft power at high rotation rates. This is necessary to deliver the propellants at high pressure into the combustion chamber to generate the required engine thrust. Recirculating fluid around the pump has a major influence on axial loads and fluid dynamical losses, impacting turbopump performance and life. Therefore, simplified modelling approaches are required early on for the preliminary design of the pump impeller, and its side cavities and seals. Indeed, past experience within ArianeGroup for pumps and secondary circuits indicates that the coupling between the main flow and the leakage has to be considered at an early stage of the design. The empirical correlations of the flow in the cavities shall be carefully selected, accounting for the particularities of each new configuration. Furthermore, it is also recommended for the impeller design (e.g. for blade leading edge and pressure relieve orifices positioning), that the effects of leakage reinjection into the main flow shall be taken into account.\u0000 In order to obtain first estimates for early design optimization without the cost of full scale 360° high fidelity computational dynamic simulations (CFD), a reduced model is developed to predict losses and axial thrust on the rotor, including effects of fluid recirculation and reinjection. A two-step approach is followed: Firstly, an empirical model developed by Gülich et al. [1] is applied to characterize leakage loss analytically. Secondly, a reduced numerical model is implemented which features a single passage impeller geometry including seals and side wall gaps. The accuracy of both the analytical model and the simplified numerical model are verified in comparison to high fidelity CFD calculations, evaluating the loss contributions in the leakage path and axial thrust for a range of operating points.\u0000 In line with expectation, the highest impact on the pump performance are the volumetric losses due to the recirculation of pressurized fluid, with and efficiency decrease of up to 20 % in the investigated cases. The implemented analytical model captures the overall loss mechanisms with a 20 % uncertainty in the design point, disk friction is underpredicted and axial thrust is mostly over-predicted. Due to the simplified numerical model with the single passage impeller geometry including side cavities, the uncertainty can be decreased to about 5 %. At part load operation, the accuracy of both models reduces. It is noted, that thrust prediction is subject to the highest uncertainties.\u0000 The current work has provided a simplified numerical model that offers the higher flexibility required for the early design phase as compared to a full annulus CFD simulation of the pump, with an increased accuracy as compared to the analytical models.","PeriodicalId":194198,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2E: Turbomachinery","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133853438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One ubiquitous design feature of mixed flow turbines used to control stress within the wheel is the radial fibre constraint, wherein blade material is stacked radially outward along the entirety of the blade. While this constraint yields a mechanical benefit, it constrains the aerodynamic design significantly, with the blade shape defined by one camberline.\u0000 One potential means of realizing a performance improvement is the use of 3D blading, where the blade is not constrained to a radially fibred structure. In such a design, the blade shape could be freely modified to better control blade loading and secondary flows. This study investigated the viability of such 3D blading through optimization of a state of the art mixed flow turbine. An equivalent design was ensured by maintaining the meridional shape and operating conditions of the baseline wheel, thus facilitating a fair comparison between the radial and 3D wheels.\u0000 The paper details the optimization including an innovative constraint-driven geometry modification tool, experimental validation of performance predictions, and an investigation into why 3D blading facilitated a performance improvement.\u0000 The optimization process identified a performance improvement across the entire turbocharger operating line. With performance improvements facilitated through a reduction in tip leakage loss, and improved pressure recovery within the conical diffuser.

However, as the inlet temperature of modern gas turbine is continuously increasing, thermal stress in a thin trailing edge will become much significant, resulting in possibilities of erosion and creep problems. To find a balance between these two conflicting goals, one method is the use of pressure-side cutback, which extends into the coolant slot to get film cooling and also achieves a thin trailing edge. Due to the interactions between mainstream and coolant flow, film cooling effect on trailing edge cutback is significantly affected by the vortex shedding downstream the cooling slot. To resolve the coherent flow structures and understand their role on film cooling effect on trailing-edge cutback, this paper implemented a Very Large Eddy Simulation (VLES) model into the solver ANSYS Fluent with user defined functions. By introducing a resolution control factor, the turbulence viscosity predicted by transient SST k-ω model was corrected and the VLES computations were realized in the whole computational region. With the VLES method, film cooling effectiveness distributions on trailing-edge cutback at three blowing ratios were computed and compared against the experimental data. The coherent unsteadiness in cutback region was visualized to reveal the mixing process between mainstream and coolant flow. The numerical accuracies between different unsteady prediction methods, i.e. URANS (Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes), SAS (Scale-Adaptive Simulation), DES (Detached Eddy Simulation), DDES (Delayed-Detached Eddy Simulation), SBES (Stress-Blended Eddy Simulation), and VLES were compared with respect to the resolutions of cooling effect and vortex shedding. The results show that the periodic vortex shedding induced by the interactions between mainstream and coolant is the main factor that affecting the cooling performance on cutback. VLES method has a comparable accuracy in predicting the film cooling effect on trailing edge cutback with DDES and SBES approaching. In the detached shear layer, VLES method exhibits a good ability to resolve coherent unsteadiness caused by vortex shedding. Compared with URANS and SAS methods, the VLES method has a higher accuracy in resolving the periodic vortex shedding and film cooling effectiveness distributions, especially in low blowing ratio cases.","PeriodicalId":194198,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2E: Turbomachinery","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134017135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

High fidelity analysis of a coupled blade and probe requires the generation of a high quality mesh which can take a significant amount of an engineers time. The application of Immersed Boundary Method (IBM) and Large Eddy Simulation is shown in this paper to enable the use of an extremely simple mesh to observe the primary flow features generated due to the blade and probe interaction effects, as well as quantify downstream pressure loss to within a high level of accuracy. IBM is utilised to approximately model the probe, while fully resolving the blade itself through a series of LES simulations.

The optimization of the aerodynamic configuration design of splitter blades is one of the effective ways to achieve higher efficiency. An in-house designed single-stage centrifugal compressor with a pressure ratio up to 12.0 is studied in this paper. By using a three-dimensional CFD (computational fluid dynamic) method, this paper investigates influences of the number of splitter blades and their leading edge position on the flow field characteristics and aerodynamic performance of the centrifugal compressor with ultra-high pressure ratio. Results show that three critical flow characteristics lead to severe losses in centrifugal compressor impeller when only full blades are applied. Those flow characteristics include the strong shock wave, the severe tip clearance flow at the inlet region and the severe flow separation at the rear region. Therefore, the inlet blade number should be reduced to decrease the loss caused by strong shock waves and tip clearance flow, while the outlet blade number should be sufficient enough to suppress flow separation. By optimizing the number and the leading edge position of splitters, the performance can be improved under the reduction of combined losses caused by shock waves, tip clearance flow and flow separation. When an aerodynamic configuration with single-splitters is used, numerical results indicate that the leading edge position of splitter blades should be located at 60% of the main blade chord length, and the centrifugal impeller isentropic efficiency with ultra-high pressure ratio can be increased from 82.4% (the aerodynamic configuration with only full blades) to 89.5%; when an aerodynamic configuration with double-splitters is used, the leading edge positions of middle and short splitter blades should be respectively located at 40% and 60% of the main blade chord length, and the impeller isentropic efficiency can be further improved to 90.9%.","PeriodicalId":194198,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2E: Turbomachinery","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130851993","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
