Assessment of Linear Eddy-Viscosity Turbulence Models in Shock/Boundary-Layer Interaction
YANG Xiao dong, MA Hui yang
2002, 17(3): 273-279.
Abstract:
Five popular turbulence models have been tested and validated against experimental data of two turbulent flows.The models are:(1)the zero equation model of Baldwin Lomax;(2)the two equation k ε model of Jones and Launder;(3)the two equation k ω model of Wilcox;(4)the two equation k ω/k ε SST model of Menter;(5)the two scale k ε model.The benchmark flows are two transonic flows over bump geometries with shock wave/boundary layer interaction including separation.The computational results demonstrate that the SST model yields superior performance and the zero equation turbulence model does not provide satisfactory results.
Numerical Simulation of Flow Field in Circularly Lobed Exhaust-Ejector Mixer with/without a Central Plug
LIU You hong, LI Li guo
2002, 17(3): 280-286.
Abstract:
The role of the central plug in promoting the thermal mixing between the primary and the secondary flows of the circularly lobed nozzle was assessed mainly by the numerical simulation.The fundamental equations were derived in the body fitted nonorthogonal coordinates from cylindrical coordinates for the circularly lobed exhaust ejector mixers with/without a plug in the center of the lobe.These equations were solved using SIMPLEC and a kind of complete pressure correction algorithm in the nonstaggered grids,with the velocity components in physical plane as solving variables and the contravariant velocity components as boundary velocities of the controlled volume.Better agreements have been observed between the numerical results and the experimental values.The numerical results show that there are great differences between the temperature contour in the outer section of the column mixer with the plug in which the low temperature contour lines can reach the center line of the mixer,and that in the outer section of column mixer without the plug in which the elevated temperature contour lines always lie in the central zone.This is the basic reason why the thermal mixing efficiency of the mixer with the plug is much more than that of the mixer without the plug.

LIU Zheng xian, JIANG Yin ping, CAO Shu zhen, LIN Mei, MIAO Yong miao
2002, 17(3): 287-291.
Abstract:
A Laser Doppler Velocimeter (LDV) and shaft encoder was used to measure velocities at the design flow of the shrouded centrifugal backswept impeller.Measurements of the three-dimensional velocity field were acquired at several main planes through the passage.The measurements described both the through flow velocity field along circumferential measurement planes and the velocity vector at radial planes.It was found that the high velocity flow was held near the hub side on the suction surface of blade passage and shifted from the hub to the shroud side on the pressure surface as the fluid approached the exit.The results also provided the evidence of the development of a "wake" of low momentum fluid near the shroud at midpitch at the exit.The velocity vector plots showed that the flow angles on the hub were very differential from those on the shroud side because of the fluid viscosity.The results indicated that the secondary flow generated in vertical direction of the main flow velocity was related to curvature and rotating of impeller.The secondary flow velocity vector plots were also presented at the middle passage and exit.The development of the secondary vortex along impeller blade passage has been clearly observed and recorded.

DAI Wu ye, LIU Yu, ZHANG Zheng ke
2002, 17(3): 292-296.
Abstract:
The numerical simulations of the flow field around aerospike nozzle were completed based on N S equations with second order NND scheme.The attention is paid to the effect of the base bleed on aerospike nozzle at sea level,middle and high altitude.The results indicate that both the quantity of bleed mass flux and the magnitude of base pressure are the causes that induce the swirl in the base area to disappear.Though the bleed can enlarge the thrust of the aerospike nozzle,it lessens the specific impulse except the case that the bleed is small at low flight altitude for the linear aerospike nozzle.

ZHOU Zheng gui
2002, 17(3): 305-308.
Abstract:
In automatic aerodynamic optimization of blade shapes,the construction of design parameters of blade profiles needs to achieve that the number of the parameters is fewer but the blade profiles possess larger variability.In this paper,blade profiles are formed using blade mean camber lines and distribution of blade thickness along the camber lines.For construction of blade mean camber lines,the combination of a third order polynomial and a multi arc curve are used.The blade thickness is distributed by another third order polynomial.As examples,using above descriptive method,a low speed profile and a transonic blade profile can be satisfactorily reproduced.An automatic optimization algorithm is developed,in which the simplex method is adopted to search for optimal objective;the objective function value for aerodynamic optimization is calculated using the N S equation method.As an example,setting elimination of separation in the blade suction surface as an objective,the automatic optimization algorithm can achieve the objective satisfactorily.
Research on the Combined Cascade
YANG Bo, OUYANG Hua, ZHONG Fang yuan, GU Chuan gang
2002, 17(3): 309-313.
Abstract:
In this paper,a new design,named combined cascades,which is applied to blade design of reversible axial fan,is put forward based on the assimilating of the previous experience,the advanced technology and the up to date thinking.A new criterion for judging the blade performance in reversible axial fan is presented.NACA0012 airfoil is singled out as the experimental airfoil of the combined cascades.In the two dimensional wind tunnel experiment,the comprehensive performance of the combined cascades is understood through analyzing pressure contours of both the blades and substantive data got from inlet and outlet of cascade at the different overlap ratios,pitch ratios and attack angles.Based on analyzing and comparing results gotten from experiment,it is found that the aerodynamic characteristic of combined cascades is superior to any other cascades.Compared with S type airfoil,which is specifically designed for reversible axial fan,maximum lift coefficient C N+R y max of the symmetrical combined cascades is improved by about 20% and the stall attack angle α N+R C y max about 23 5%.And with NACA0012 single cascade,lift coefficient increases by 8 46% and the stall attack angle 17 5%.The unique flow rules of the combined cascades are understood through analyzing data.The flow in the combined cascades must meet the flow prerequisite i.e.the static pressure must be equivalent along the pitch wise at the outlet of the fan.The overlap ratio B is the one of the most important parameters by which the relative position of two rows of cascade could be determined.As B is chosen within 30%~50%,two rows could be operated respectively at their own stall attack angles and the cascade performance could be improved obviously.The pitch ratio T is another important parameter and could effect cascade performance directly.The smaller T is more suitable to the cascade performance and the optimum range should lie in between 40% and 50%.

2002, 17(3): 319-322.
Abstract:
The pressure correction equations of particle kinetic pressure and fluid pressure are established in which correction of particle volumetric fraction and fluid density is considered.The turbulent flow is represented by k k ε k θ p model,and the principle of momentum interpolation was applied to the covariant physical velocity components,which were chosen as the dependent variables in the simulation of the two phase flow field of impeller.It is shown that the calculations agree well with the practical matter,and the simulation method is performable.Also,it is shown that pseudothermal temperature on tension side is smaller than that on suction side,and pseudothermal temperature near wall is greater than that in the interior,Furthermore,pseudothermal temperature can be used to describe abrasion level.It supplies foundation for efficient design and property of blade pressure expander.

2002, 17(3): 323-326.
Abstract:
The stalling recoverability of one stage,three stage and nine stage axial flow compression systems is simulated based on a one dimensional unsteady stage by stage model for the dynamic response of a compression system.The validation of the model is verified by good agreement between the simulation results and experimental results in the single stage and nine stage compression systems.The simulation results also point out that some factors (such as in stall stage characteristic,the volume of plenum and compressor shaft speed) affect the stalling recoverability of axial flow compression systems to some extent.Stage matching can have a significant effect on stalling recoverability in high speed multistage compressors.

XIANG An ding, ZHANG Li, LIU Song ling
2002, 17(3): 336-340.
Abstract:
Detailed experimental measurements of the flow fields around a row of short cylinders with jet impingement by using a five hole probe have been conducted.The three dimensional velocities and vortex distribution were demonstrated and studied.The experimental data show that the largest velocity was observed at the place very close to the cylinder surface,velocities decreased rapidly in lateral direction from the surface to the symmetric plane of the channel where low velocity flow was found together with reverse flow and vortex.Endwall effect and flow separation result in strong vortices in cylinder array.Interaction of cylinder and endwall boundary layer produces horseshoe vortex at the root of the cylinder.In the wakes turbulent vortices exist.The lateral variation of pressure leads to the producing of channel vortex.As compared with the flow field without jet impingement,the angular position of separation on the surfaces of cylinder moved downstream and the width of wake was reduced obviously.

HAO Yan ping, ZHU Zi gen
2002, 17(3): 349-356.
Abstract:
Friction damper is one of the most useful measures to alleviate the blade vibration stress and to prevent it from failure of fatigue.The procedures of design and optimization for platform friction damper of blades are proposed.Influences of friction coefficient and tangential stiffness of damper on the vibratory response are investigated.Steps which should be taken in design procedures in consideration of these two factors are proposed.One of the most important parameters should be optimized is the normal load after the material and geometry of friction contact are selected.Because of the difficulties encoutered in practice to accurately analyse the aerodynamic excitation and the viscous damping of blades,the effects of the excitation amplitude and viscous damping on the optimal value of normal load are studied based on both the calculation and experimental data.A procedure to optimize the normal load is introduced which is also insensitive to the value of excitation and viscous damping.
Nonlinear Response Characteristics of Cracked Rotor Supported on Squeeze Film Dampers
QIN Wei yang, MENG Guang
2002, 17(3): 357-362.
Abstract:
In this paper,the nonlinear responses of cracked rotor system supported on squeeze film damper (SFD) are studied.The results show that the squeeze film force can depress non synchronous response effectively and the increase of squeeze film bearing parameter can depress chaotic response.When bearing parameter is small,a certain range of rotating speed and crack depth can lead the system response to non synchronous response and the system response will become chaotic with the increase of crack depth.The system response can be fixed to stable periodic movement by increasing the damping ratio.In general case,peroid 3 movement means that the response will be chaotic.The main route for system response going to chaos is the route of intermittence to chaos and another route is from quasi periodic response to chaos.
