摘要:
为克服超紧凑齿轮传动涡扇(GTF)发动机增压级优化设计面临的高维、耗时、黑箱三大难题,发展了一套精准高效可靠的优化设计方法,运用多目标粒子群算法结合下降单纯形算法的多层次优化策略,具有优化变量少、求解速度快、寻优能力强的优势。优化设计后,GTF增压级在100%设计转速下的峰值效率和失速裕度分别提升0.27%和1.31%。相比于复合弯掠高负荷静子原型,高负荷静子优化构型通过改变整个展向的叶型特征和三维积叠规律,使得自20%叶展至叶尖的流动分离向下游移动,减少由叶尖向轮毂的径向迁移和吸力面尾缘附近低速回流区域的范围,延缓了GTF增压级失速的发生,提升了GTF增压级的效率。

Abstract:To overcome three major problems of high-dimensional, time-consuming, and black box in the optimization design of aggressive geared turbofan (GTF) engine booster, a set of accurate, efficient and reliable optimization design methods were developed. Using multi-objective particle swarm optimization combined with descending simplex algorithm, it had the advantages of fewer optimization variables, fast solving speed, and strong optimization ability. After optimized design, the peak efficiency and stall margin of the GTF booster were increased by 0.27% and 1.31% at 100% design rotational speed, respectively. Compared with the prototype of the highly loaded stator using composite sweep and lean, the optimized configuration of the highly loaded stator further changed the blade profile characteristics and three-dimensional stacking rules of the entire span. The flow separation from 20% of the span to the tip of the blade moved downstream, reducing the radial migration from the tip to the hub. It reduced the range of the low-speed recirculation region near the trailing edge of the suction surface, delayed the stall of the GTF booster, and improved the efficiency of the GTF booster.
