Effect of blade tip structure on tip flow characteristics in turbine rotor

摘要:
采用商业CFD软件Ansys CFX对3种叶尖结构模型进行数值仿真,选择
k-ω SST(shear stress transport)湍流模型对不同结构、吹风比、叶尖间隙条件下模型进行计算。结果表明:叶尖间隙直接影响进入叶尖凹槽区域的泄漏流流量。叶尖间隙变小,泄漏流受到的流动阻力增大,泄漏流流量相应下降;冷气吹风比增大后,冷气直接冲击机匣内壁面,在冲击点周围形成回流,冷气在叶尖区域凹槽涡的诱导下形成回流涡;构型3结构的凹槽中部隔板能够对进入凹槽的泄漏流产生阻挡作用,提高叶尖区域吸力面冷却效果。但隔板使得泄漏流在其左右两侧形成强度不同的凹槽涡和角涡,提高了热应力梯度。通过熵增分析,叶尖间隙对叶尖区域主流泄漏损失起决定性作用,叶尖间隙减小能够明显降低叶片尾缘区域损失。Abstract:Numerical simulations of three blade tip configurations were conducted using the commercial CFD software Ansys CFX. The
k-ω SST (shear stress transport) turbulence model was applied to compute the models under varying tip structures, blowing ratios, and blade tips. The findings demonstrated a direct correlation between the blade tip and the leakage flow entering the recessed area of the blade tip. Smaller blade tip gaps led to heightened flow resistance for the leakage flow, resulting in a corresponding reduction in leakage flow volume. When the cooling air blowing ratio increased, the cooling air directly impacted the interior casing wall, creating a backflow pattern around the point of impact. This backflow vortex was induced by the vortices within the crevice of the blade tip. In the case of configuration 3, the mid-section partition served as an obstruction to the entering leakage flow, thereby augmenting the cooling efficiency on the suction side of the blade tip. However, the partition also triggered the development of uneven crevice vortices and corner vortices on its opposing sides, leading to an elevation in thermal stress gradient. Entropy increment analysis underscored the pivotal role of the blade tip gap in determining the primary leakage loss in the blade tip region. Decreasing the blade tip gap markedly reduced losses in the blade trailing edge region.-
