T106 LPT blade of chord 60 mm has been selected for the present study. Gurney Flaps of flat type and quarter round type of a particular height of the chord length are selected. Flaps are provided near the blades’ trailing edges for numerical analysis. The numerical computations are performed using STARCCM+ software, and the K-ω SST turbulence Model is used for turbulence closure. The studies are performed at various Reynolds numbers ranging from 37,500 to 138,750 to understand the application of various configurations of Gurney Flap vis a vis turbine blade without Gurney Flap. Performance parameters such as lift coefficient, drag coefficient, aerodynamic efficiency, and static pressure distributions over the blade surface are used to analyse the alterations in the performance of aerodynamic characteristics of the LPT Blade. All the Gurney Flap configurations improved the overall blade aerodynamics. Among these configurations, the flat Gurney Flap configuration is found to be superior as it improves the aerodynamic efficiency of the blade.","PeriodicalId":50284,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Turbo & Jet-Engines","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46345779","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}

A detailed analysis of profile loss was performed and a profile loss model considering the low-Re effect was developed. Results showed that the incidence angle has a great effect on the inlet and outlet Mach number at low Reynolds number, and the variation of inlet and outlet Mach number further affects the blade profile loss. A correction factor was introduced to consider the effect of incidence angle and Mach number on the profile loss. The profile loss coefficient and stalling incidence angle were both extended to lower Reynolds number based on the numerical results. A Smart Through Flow Analysis Program (STFAP) was developed using the finite volume method to solve the circumferentially averaged Euler equations of S2 surface. Aerodynamic performance of E3 5-stage low-pressure turbine was predicted by STFAP coupled with low-Re profile loss model. Compared with K-O model, the prediction accuracy of efficiency of low-pressure turbine last stage is improved by nearly 1.1 percentage points when the 5-stage low-pressure turbine is in a low Reynolds number state.","PeriodicalId":50284,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Turbo & Jet-Engines","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48627356","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}

However, the extraction of the bleeding air from the compressor causes the engine efficiency degradation and thrust deficit. Therefore, flow control based on bleed is conducted to compensate the bleed induced disadvantages. The influence of the circumferential bleeding slot location on the tip leakage vortex and passage vortex controlling in a compressor cascade with the tip clearance is numerically studied using large eddy simulation. Three bleed configurations and the smooth casing configuration are investigated. 17.11% loss reduction is obtained through bleeding at 10% c x upstream of the blade leading edge with a bleeding rate of 2.76%. The vortex structures and flow patterns are compared and analyzed to reveal the controlling mechanism. Subsequently, the axial vorticity and loss evolution is discussed, and the interaction between the primary flow and bleeding air is revealed. It’s found that bleeding slot placed within the blade passage is exposed into a highly static pressure gradient, and this causes the bleeding air flows into and spills out the bleeding slot and leads to unnecessary loss. Moreover, the influence of large bleeding rate and inlet boundary layer is assessed.","PeriodicalId":50284,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Turbo & Jet-Engines","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42372351","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}

Self-recirculating casing treatment (SRCT) is an efficient flow control technique for increasing stall margin in conventional compressors. With the purpose of investigating the applicability and mechanism of SRCT in the CRACs, a two-stage CRAC is selected to investigate the stability enhancement mechanism of SRCT and its effect on the unsteady flow near the rotor tip, and the effect of injector location on the stability improvement capacity of SRCT is also studied. Results show that about 7.73% stall margin improvement can be achieved by configuring the SRCT on the near rotor top, and the injector location also has a significant influence on the stability expansion potential of SRCT. The SRCT delays the stall occurrence by weakening the intensity of tip leakage flow (TLF) and restraining the leading-edge spillages of TLF. The SRCT reduces the unsteady interference between the adjacent rotors by receding the disturbance of the upstream wake and inhibiting the potential flow effect of the downstream. Furthermore, the SRCT reduces the self-excited oscillation frequency of TLF and damps its fluctuation amplitude.","PeriodicalId":50284,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Turbo & Jet-Engines","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45649072","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}

Since the VSV is installed in an annular cascade, the heights of the partial gaps are nonuniform and reaches 3.8% of the span. Results show that as the VSV is adjusted negatively, the total pressure loss rises by 20.3% and a huge area of corner separation appears.

In this case, an improved quasi-static mode compensation method (IQSMCM) and quadratic function-extremum response surface method (QF-ERSM) are proposed to investigate the probability distribution of mistuned blisk based on its vibration characteristics. The number of nodes and elements of IQSMCM relative to HFFEM are, respectively, reduced by 79.66 and 80.03%. Thus, the degrees of freedoms (DOFs) of IQSMCM are obviously reduced compared with that of HFFEM, and its computational efficiency is obviously increased. The maximum displacement shape (MDS) is investigated via IQSMCM. The computational efficiency is enhanced in the condition of ensuring the computational accuracy. Based on the investigation of maximum mode shape, the probability analysis is performed via QF-ERSM. The computational accuracy of QF-ERSM is improved by 93.80% compared with that of MC. Furthermore, the computational efficiency of QF-ERSM is higher 57.06% than that of QF-RSM. The sample history, extremum response surface function, sample history and distribution histogram of MDS are obtained via QF-ERSM, which provides an important guidance for the reliability research of the mistuned blisk.
