摘要:
激波和尾迹损失是高负荷跨声速气冷涡轮动叶气动损失的主要来源。压力面侧半劈缝冷却能够在降低热负荷的同时调控气动损失,但半劈缝结构特征与损失的关联尚未得到阐明。构建了末端呈锥形的筋板结构,并采用稳态数值计算方法,探究锥形筋板半劈缝结构对跨声速涡轮动叶激波和尾迹损失的影响机理。结果表明:对于激波损失,锥形筋板结构通过流道提前扩张使主流提前加速并折转,而在内伸激波波前的膨胀程度减弱,使波前马赫数及激波角减小,内伸激波及反射波损失下降。对于尾迹损失,锥形筋板结构通过提高尾缘后基压、改善速度分布的均匀性,有效削弱主流与冷气的动量输运过程,使尾迹沿流向更迅速弱化,尾迹损失下降。锥形筋板相比原型半劈缝结构在提高尾缘气膜冷却效率的同时,使较宽的落压比(不低于2.70)及冷气量(0%~3%)变化范围内的能量损失系数均得到降低。
Abstract:Shock and wake losses are the main sources of aerodynamic losses of a highly-loaded transonic air-cooled turbine blade. Pressure-side cutback cooling can control aerodynamic losses while reducing trailing-edge thermal load, but the relationship between the structural features and the losses remains unclear. In this study, a land structure with a tapered end was constructed, and steady-state numerical calculations were performed to investigate the effect of the tapered-land cutback structure on the shock and wake losses in a transonic turbine blade. The results showed that, for the shock loss, the tapered-land cutback structure induced an earlier flow acceleration and deflection via upstream flow area expansion, thereby mitigating the pre-shock expansion on the pressure side. Therefore, the Mach number and the shock angle were reduced and the losses of the pressure-side shock wave and the reflected shock wave decreased. For the wake loss, the tapered-land cutback structure effectively weakened the momentum transport between the mainstream and the coolant by increasing the base pressure downstream of the trailing edge and improving the uniformity of the velocity distribution. As a result, the wake was attenuated more rapidly along the flow direction and the wake loss decreased. The tapered-land cutback structure effectively reduced the energy loss coefficient over a wide range of the pressure ratio (exceeding 2.70) and the coolant flow rate (0%—3%) while also improving the trailing edge film cooling effectiveness.
