摘要:
进口附面层(IBL)条件对压气机内部流动特性具有显著影响,为探究其对高负荷压气机串列叶栅端区流动特性的影响,采用定常数值方法对某高亚声速压气机串列叶栅流场进行计算,并研究了不同进口条件,包括附面层厚度及常规和倾斜两种形式对叶尖泄漏和角区分离两种流动结构的影响,结果表明:在无叶尖间隙时,进口附面层增厚会使角区分离在前叶的三维尺度以及后叶的周向范围增大,附面层倾斜效应使前叶二次流削弱而后叶二次流增强,总压损失降低,且进口附面层厚度增大使倾斜效应对角区流动的影响降低。1%叶高间隙下,增大附面层厚度使泄漏涡的展向尺度增大,附面层倾斜效应则使前叶泄漏涡增强,后叶泄漏涡减弱,总压损失减小,而进口附面层厚度增加使倾斜效应对叶尖端区流动的影响增强。
Abstract:Inlet boundary layer (IBL) condition can make a significant effect on the flow condition in the compressors. In order to explore the effect of IBL condition on the flow characteristics at the endwall region of the highly loaded compressor tandem cascade, a steady numerical method was used to calculate the flow field of a high subsonic tandem cascade, and comparatively analyze the effects of different IBL conditions, including thickness and form (normal and skewed), on the corner separation and tip leakage flow characteristics. The results showed that: without tip clearance, increasing the IBL thickness could increase the three-dimensional corner separation range from the front blade and the circumferential range of the rear blade. The skewed IBL weakened the secondary flow in the front blade passage but enhanced the secondary flow in the rear blade passage, the total pressure loss decreased and the effect of the skewed IBL on corner flow was weakened with the increase of IBL thickness. With 1% blade height clearance, increasing the IBL thickness could increase the scale of the leakage vortex in spanwise direction and the skewed IBL could enhance the leakage vortex of the front blade but weaken the leakage vortex of the rear blade, the total pressure loss decreased but the effect of the skewed IBL on tip flow was enhanced with the increase of IBL thickness.
