Quantitative evaluation method of three-dimensional flow loss sources in transonic compressor rotor

摘要:
跨声速压气机内流动呈现强三维性,其损失来源多且复杂。分解损失成因并量化评估其致损程度具有重要意义。基于跨声速压气机三维流场分析明确了流动高损失的主要来源,发展了以涡识别方法为主、基于流动特征参数的高损失区域划分方法,进一步利用熵产率积分实现了损失量化评估。以NASA Stage 35为对象的分析结果表明:叶表边界层损失、端壁边界层损失、叶尖泄漏损失和尾迹损失是跨声速压气机转子流动损失的主要来源。近失速工况和峰值效率工况相比,叶表边界层损失、尾迹损失占比有所减小,叶尖泄漏损失和端壁损失占比显著增加,分别达到了21%和20%。转子进口叶尖相对马赫数接近1.5所产生的激波本身并未造成明显的损失,但激波与边界层相互作用所引发的额外流动损失需重点关注。
Abstract:The flow within a transonic compressor exhibits strong three-dimensional characteristics, with diverse and complex sources of loss. Decomposing these losses and quantitatively evaluating their contributions is of great significance. Based on analysis of transonic compressor three-dimensional flow field, the main sources of high losses in transonic compressors were identified. A loss-separation method was developed by combining vortex-identification techniques with flow-feature parameters to partition the high-loss regions. Furthermore, entropy production rate integration was employed to achieve quantitative loss evaluation. Analysis of the NASA Stage 35 compressor indicated that blade boundary layer loss, endwall loss, tip leakage vortex loss, and wake loss were major sources of flow losses in the transonic compressor rotor. Compared with the peak-efficiency condition, the proportions of boundary layer loss and wake loss decreased under near-stall conditions, while the contributions of tip leakage vortex loss and endwall loss increased significantly, reaching 21% and 20%, respectively. Although the shock wave caused by a relative tip Mach number close to 1.5 at the rotor inlet did not result in significant loss by itself, the additional flow loss caused by the interaction between the shock wave and the boundary layer required special attention.
