Instead of translational movement, the endwall features an innovative large rotating disk. Measurements were conducted on a controlled diffusion airfoil (CDA) under different conditions: tip clearances (3 mm and 2.5 mm), inlet incidences (+6° and −6°), and stationary or high-speed rotating states at 0.5 Ma inflow. The results reveal that endwall movement amplifies circumferential leakage losses, increases kinetic energy, deviates the leakage flow path, and reduces total pressure loss in the leakage core region. Dynamic pressure results reveal greater unsteadiness in the tip region under positive incidence conditions and with larger clearances. Characteristic frequency ranges (8000 Hz for system vibration and 150∼200 Hz for leakage flow development) are identified. Further experimental measurements and high-precision simulations are needed the determine the matching relationship between complex flow behaviour in the blade tip region and characteristic frequency.","PeriodicalId":50284,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Turbo & Jet-Engines","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45786714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To better understand this effect, the in-house simulation program CAM (a modular transient simulator) is used to investigate the volume effect on the compressor transient performance. The modeling procedure is derived from Greziter’s lumped parameter approach and the accuracy of the simulation model is verified by experimental data. This study presents a comprehensive comparison and explanation of variations in compressor transient behavior observed under different conditions, including different shaft speed change rates, compressor volume sizes, and operating speeds. The relative difference between the compressor inlet and outlet mass flow is identified as the key factor contributing to these discrepancies. In addition, a simplified analytical model is developed to provide a basic description of the compressor operating line during acceleration and deceleration, which also provides additional support for the validity of the numerical results. This study systematically establishes the dynamic dependencies between shaft speed change, pressure and mass flow change, offering critical information for ensuring the safety of compressors during transient operation.","PeriodicalId":50284,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Turbo & Jet-Engines","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45734714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that the entry of water droplets deteriorates the internal flow field of the compression component, and the water film affects the flow state of the airflow near the wall.

The numerical and experimental results show that the vibration level of the rotor system can be significantly reduced by only changing the phase combination of the residual unbalances. The magnitude, axial distribution of residual unbalance and rotational speed of the rotor play a very important role in determining the optimal phase combination. The optimal phase combination under different rotational speeds might be conflicting, and reasonably designed optimization would be a feasible solution.

In this method, the enthalpy or entropy under different fuel-air ratio and humidity conditions is mapped to temperature by a neural network, and the mapping output is used as the initial solution of Newton Raphson (NR) iteration. Then, a high-precision solution can be obtained through a few iterations, which avoids the shortcoming that the traditional method uses a fixed initial solution that leads to too many iterative steps. This effectively reduces the number of iterative steps and improves the calculation efficiency. This method is applied to the aero-thermodynamic calculation of each component of an engine CLM, which improves the accuracy and real-time performance of the CLM. The simulation results show that, compared to the traditional method, the proposed method improves the accuracy of the CTPWF and can reduces the single aero-thermodynamic calculation time by 25 % when humidity is not considered and by 47 % when humidity is considered. This effectively improves the real-time performance of the CLM.","PeriodicalId":50284,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Turbo & Jet-Engines","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49281352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results show that, compared with the condition that S-duct or fan is investigated alone, the distortion of S-duct is suppressed under S-duct/fan integrated condition. The curved structure of S-duct is the important reason for the flow migration from undistorted region to distortion region. Higher inlet relative Mach number and more work input of the rotor are observed in the counter-swirl region. The flow separation in S-duct is weakened under NS condition compared with that of PE condition. Counter-swirl region of blade tip has larger region of blockage, and rotating stall inception is most likely to occur in this region.","PeriodicalId":50284,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Turbo & Jet-Engines","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45220626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The best combined design is explored by numerical investigations and optimization via Kriging surrogate model method. As a result, by only modifying the hub and blade under 15 % span, the peak adiabatic efficiency is increased by 0.4 % and the overall aerodynamic performance for all operating conditions is also improved. An analysis shows that the enlarged dihedral angle between the hub and blade restrains boundary layer intersection and development. Meanwhile, the optimized hub changes the pressure distribution and prevents migration of cross-flow. As a result, the low-energy flow in the corner is accelerated downstream and the separation is limited, leading to an effective improvement in throughflow capability and aerodynamic performance in the corner region.","PeriodicalId":50284,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Turbo & Jet-Engines","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46754241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, a fast and effective method for detecting coupling misalignment utilising time-frequency analysis (TFA) based on both the adaptive noise added complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition and wavelet-based denoising is presented. This novel and innovative method detect the coupling misalignment feature via the amplitude modulation aspect in the envelope analysis of the fault-containing intrinsic mode function. The Hilbert spectrum analysis provides spontaneous frequency and spectral energy in the time-frequency domain. The experiments were performed for various rotor accelerations and combined parallel and angular coupling misalignments using a laboratory test rig. The suggested approach gives excellent denoising efficiency and can improve misalignment identification accuracy. Additionally, it may be highly helpful for machinery that starts and stops often.","PeriodicalId":50284,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Turbo & Jet-Engines","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48209374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
