Research on the flow control mechanism of vortex-control holes in a Rotor-Stator cavity
The back cavity of a centrifugal compressor is a typical rotor–stator cavity with radial internal flow. This article mainly studied the influence and control mechanism of vortex-control hole structure on the flow in this type of cavity. The experiment measured the distribution of static pressure loss coefficient along the radial direction in the disk cavity with a rotational Reynolds number Reφ = 2.1 × 106, a mainstream flow coefficient Cw = 1.8 × 104, and a relative flow rate of secondary air stream Qm = 0 %∼12 %. Results demonstrated that vortex-control holes significantly reduce static pressure loss. The turbulence parameter λt emerged as a critical factor governing flow in simple cavities, revealing a unique flow field structure under specific relationships between flow coefficient and rotational Reynolds number. The cavity with vortex-control holes introduces the secondary air stream. Therefore, a modified turbulence parameter λt* was proposed. When λt* and Qm are the same within the range of λt*=0.12 ∼ 0.24, different combinations of rotational speed and flow rate yield the same swirl ratio and static pressure loss coefficient. The flow field structure in the cavity was analyzed using numerical calculations when Qm = 0 %∼25 %. It was found that with the increase of Qm, the region below the vortex-control holes transitions from the Batchelor flow pattern to the Stewartson flow pattern, and this transition affects the radial distributions of the swirl ratio and pressure loss. Furthermore, based on the distribution characteristics of swirl ratio and static pressure loss in the cavity, a prediction model for the swirl ratio in the rotor–stator cavity with vortex-control holes was established.
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.
