To evaluate the effect of manufacturing tolerance on performance, a CFD-based uncertainty quantification analysis is performed in this work. However, evaluating dozens of thousands of rotor assembly through CFD simulations would be computationally prohibitive. A surrogate model is thus developed to predict compressor performance given an ordered set of manufactured blades. The model is used to predict the influence of tip gap and stagger angle variations on maximum isentropic efficiency. The results confirm that the best arrangement is obtained by minimizing the stagger angle variation between adjacent blades, and by maximizing the tip gap variation. Another finding is that the best arrangement yields the lowest variability, the range of maximum efficiency being 4 times sharper (resp. 2 times) than worst arrangement for stagger angle variations (resp. tip gap variations). Not measuring manufacturing tolerance, or not specifying any strategy for the blade arrangement, lead to variability as large as the worst arrangement.","PeriodicalId":53002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Global Power and Propulsion Society","volume":"259 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136119829","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}

Petersen","doi":"10.33737/jgpps/168292","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.33737/jgpps/168292","url":null,"abstract":"Over the last several decades, turbine efficiency has improved significantly, resulting in higher turbine operating temperatures that negatively affect the lubricating oil circulating through the system. Exposure to high temperatures results in oil degradation and the eventual formation of solid deposits in the oil which greatly limit the oil’s ability to reduce wear and cool the turbine components. An experimental apparatus was designed and built to allow for the studying and better understanding of this phenomenon. The apparatus consists of a flow loop with a heated test section through which the oil is pumped. The oil that comes into contact with the hot surfaces degrades and forms solid deposits. As time passes, the deposit buildup decreases the heat transfer that occurs at the test section. The bulk oil temperatures into and out of the test section are used as indicators of the deposit induction time and buildup rate, and the deposits may be analyzed at the end of the experiment. Air or an inert gas may be used to pressurize the system up to 69 bar, while test section surface temperatures may be as high as 650°C. Data from one of the initial tests performed with the apparatus using a gas turbine lube oil are included in this paper. The test resulted in the clear formation of solid deposits on the heated surfaces and in the data that show the decrease in the bulk oil temperature over time due to their formation. Assembly and testing of the apparatus have been completed, and it is now fully operational and ready for future studies on lubricating oil thermal degradation and oxidation.","PeriodicalId":53002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Global Power and Propulsion Society","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47045325","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}

The repeatability of printed geometric features in the same part is required to maintain part quality, flow, and heat transfer. It is widely understood as to the impact that the additional roughness of AM provides with regards to part quality, but part variability also leads to differences in performance either locally in considering a single airfoil or globally when considering an entire stage. Previous studies have shown the importance of certain process parameters, build directions, and feature sizes on the part quality when printing a part using AM. As processes have continued to evolve, other artifacts of AM have arisen such as the location on the build plate. This article highlights the progress that has been made on printing commonly used cooling features by either considering simple straight coupons or a curved vane leading edge. Also discussed is the variability that exists and the resulting convective heat transfer and pressure losses. Results indicate that the variation of roughness between components and the part-to-part variations increased the further the component was from the laser source on the build plate. Similarly, the variation and levels in the pressure loss and heat transfer of the cooling channels also increased when samples were placed further from the laser source on the build plate.","PeriodicalId":53002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Global Power and Propulsion Society","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46295538","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}

Transpiration cooling based on a microporous structure is considered as one of the most promising techniques for protecting the high heat flux walls from ablation in aerospace applications. Unlike conventional fabrication methods, additive manufacturing (AM) has been applied to fabricate three-dimensional (3D) porous structures with customized geometries that are specific to applications, i.e., in terms of the design of features such as the pore diameter, pore density, porosity, and pore morphology. Three major AM technologies (selective laser melting, inkjet, and stereolithography) followed by a post-printing process have been proposed for the additive manufacture of porous structures. In particular, 3D-printed porous structures have great promise for transpiration cooling applications. In this review, we discuss the detailed steps of porous structure topology design and a general framework is presented for AM. The heat transfer and strength performance are also provided for porous parts fabricated by AM. Furthermore, the applications of 3D-printed porous media in transpiration cooling with different regimes are described. This review concludes by explaining the current challenges and prospects for the next generation of 3D-printed porous structures in transpiration cooling systems.","PeriodicalId":53002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Global Power and Propulsion Society","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47920196","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}

Its objective is to minimize the discretization error without using empirical meshing guidelines. The most common approach of mesh adaptation is the “feature-based” isotropic mesh adaptation: from an initial flow prediction on an isotropic unstructured mesh, a local error estimator is computed using a flow variable. It is then used to adapt the mesh using isotropic tetrahedra. Additional near-wall resolution can be achieved by extruding prism layers from the walls. A more efficient approach is to use anisotropic mesh adaptation purely with tetrahedra that are stretched to follow the flow's preferential directions. In this work, we demonstrate the abilities of feature-based isotropic and anisotropic mesh adaptation on a complex flow phenomenon of importance for jet engines: flow separation in a nacelle under crosswind conditions. Two different solvers, adapted for either isotropic or anisotropic meshes, are employed. Results are compared with standard unstructured simulations with user-imposed mesh refinements and highlight the ability of mesh adaptation to automatically capture all the relevant flow phenomena without any user input and at reduced mesh size.","PeriodicalId":53002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Global Power and Propulsion Society","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48263387","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}

Previous studies have led to the conclusion that improving the cooling performance requires an adapted film cooling design, tailored to the cyclone cooling application. In this paper, a turbine rotor blade with realistic, complex features including the cyclone cooling design is investigated experimentally using infrared thermography to capture surface temperature. The objective is to analyze the influence of increased film cooling hole diameter on a cyclone-cooled blade’s surface temperature. For this purpose, the diameter of the holes at the blade’s leading edge, which are fed by the cyclone channel, is increased. The tests are performed for different coolant mass flow rates and swirl numbers. Additionally, CFD simulations are performed to analyze the aerodynamics of the cooling air. The test results show that the surface temperature at the leading edge can be decreased by increasing the diameter of the film cooling holes, however, adversely affecting the remaining blade surface. This can be explained by a redistribution of the supplied coolant. The increase of cooling effectiveness at the leading edge is at the highest when a low swirl is generated.","PeriodicalId":53002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Global Power and Propulsion Society","volume":"182 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136016017","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}

A special focus is placed on the skewness of the roughness height profile. The skewness measures whether the height profile is dominated by negative or positive roughness elements. Surfaces with both features can be found on worn blades: On the leading edge, roughness is caused by the impact of particles resulting in a negative skewness. Rough surfaces around the trailing edge, however, develop due to depositions leading to a positive skewness.\u0000\u0000In this paper, rough surfaces taken from a compressor blade of an aero engine are systematically varied to investigate the isolated effect of skewness on aerodynamic losses.
