摘要:
针对凹槽叶尖,设计全凹槽、压力侧尾切、吸力侧尾切尾缘构型,研究不同尾缘构型及尾切位置对叶尖流动机理及气动性能影响规律。结果表明:压力侧尾切叶尖会导致凹槽涡泄漏位置前移,并且在吸力侧叶尖相应位置附近形成尾切涡,从而导致尾缘下游总压损失增大,最多增加了7.1%;吸力侧尾切叶尖凹槽内流动从切除位置流出而非横跨吸力侧肋边泄漏,总压损失相对减小,最多减小了4.6%。相较于全凹槽叶尖构型和压力侧尾切构型,吸力侧尾切构型具有更优的气动性能。
Abstract:In this article, full cavity squealer tip and several pressure side and suction side cutback blade tips were designed, their detailed flow field and aerodynamic performance were compared with full cavity squealer tip numerically, including vortices inside cavity and flows around blade tip trailing edge, differences in tip leakage flow rate, downstream total pressure loss and entropy rise. The result indicated that pressure side cutback designs caused the cavity vortex leak earlier compared with full cavity tip, a small vortex formed at cut region leading to increase in total pressure loss of 7.1% at most; flow inside cavity left at cut region for suction side cutback designs instead of crossing over cavity wall, downstream total pressure loss was relatively smaller, with the reduction of 4.6% at most. Compared with full cavity and pressure side cutback squealer tip, suction side cutback designs have better aerodynamic performance.
