Abstract:
The fragmenting images of meridian plane of conical liquid sheet under different nozzle pressure were obtained with Particle Image Velocimetry(PIV) system.Also,the characteristic parameters of conical liquid sheet with centrifugal nozzle,such as half-cone angle and breakup length,were measured under different liquid pressures.The variations of nozzle liquid pressure on half-cone angle and breakup length have been analyzed.The empirical formula of parameter C was obtained from experimental results,whereby the dispersion relation was solved to obtain the wavelength at breakup point of sheet under different pressures.The predicted results were compared with experimental results,finding that the trend of predicted data fully corresponds to the experimental results.

Abstract:
For a hybrid airblast atomizer combustor with convergent-divergent sleeve,a simplex pressure swirl nozzle is used for the primary fuel circuit,and a direct-injection airblast atomizer is used for the main fuel circuit.Only the pilot simplex nozzle was operated in the ignition tests.The test combustor is a single-nozzle rectangular combustor,with normal inlet temperature and normal inlet pressure.Under the test condition of pressure drop of 0.9%-9.0%,the ignition performance of hybrid airblast atomizer combustor was analyzed.And,the atomization performance of this hybrid atomizer was also summarized to obtain the empirical correlation under the same condition.While major influential factors to ignition were analyzed,the empirical correlation of such combustors was summarized based on the atomization data and Lefebvre's ignition model.

Abstract:
The flow field between a rotating and a stationary disk at high-positioned air inflow condition was investigated by Particle Image Velocimetry(PIV) technology.The experiments indicate that PIV technology could be used on the flow measurement of the rotating cavity.The flow in the most area became turbulence in the range of experiments.Batchelor-type flow was observed in the experiments.Separate boundary layers were formed on the rotor and stator.Between the boundary layers there was an inviscid core rotating in the same direction as the rotor at a lower speed.The experimental data of the relative rotational speed β in the core was lower than 0.43,the value in the closure system with large clearance.β did not show obvious changes with the change of flow rate coefficient or rotational Reynolds number,but the axial clearance between the rotor and stator affected β much obviously.

Abstract:
Experiments were carried out to investigate the heat transfer of compound cooling(impinging cooling with outflow film).Local heat transfer coefficients on inner surface were obtained over a Reynolds number range of 10 000~40 000,nozzle-to-plate spacing H/D range of 0.17~2.0,the ratio between impinging jet and film hole distance to jet hole diameter P/D range of 0 and 1.Experimental results show that the local heat transfer coefficient was affected by impingement Reynolds number and nozzle-to-plate spacing greatly.Under the parameters in this paper,the local Nu number increased with the impingement Reynolds number.When P/D=0,the maximum Nu number was achieved while H/D=2.When P/D increased to unity,the maximum Nu number was gotten while H/D=2 and 0.17 under lower impingement Reynolds number.And this proper value of H/D will change to be 2 and 1 under higher impingement Reynolds number.

2007, 22(3): 360-364.
Abstract:
Under icing conditions,helicopter rotor is prone to icing.The rotor icing menaces the safety of the helicopter seriously,so the blade must be protected from icing.Through the analysis of external heat fluxes,the critical velocity was calculated for a given blade at ultimate state of icing when surface temperature was 0℃.The protected range along spanwise was then determined to be 0~95% form blade root to tip.By calculating the droplet impinging characteristic, the protected range along chordwise form the leading edge was then determined to be 12% along the upper surface and 33% along the lower surface.On the basis of the results,the configuration and structure of the heating system for a rotor blade can be designed.

2007, 22(3): 375-379.
Abstract:

ZHANG Bo, JI Hong-hu
2007, 22(3): 384-389.
Abstract:
The mixing characteristics of jets from four rectangular nozzles with aspect ratio of 8 were investigated by numerical simulation.The first and second nozzles had different transition sections from circular to rectangular,the third nozzle had a rectangular flip which was an extension of the bottom wall of nozzle exit on the base of the first one,while the last one had two triangular flips on the left and right sides of the nozzle exit on the base of the third one.The results show that the mixing characteristics of the two nozzles with different transition sections have little difference,while the flips cause strong mixing.
Experimental and computational study of a submermerged inlet on the plane surface under ground running
SUN Shu, GUO Rong-wei, WU Yi-zhao
2007, 22(3): 390-395.
Abstract:
Utilizing the combined experimental and computational method,the aerodynamic performance and internal flow pattern of a submerged inlet on the plane surface under ground running are obtained in this paper.Results indicate that:(1) The secondary flow at the cross sections behaves as two counter-rotating vortices which are originated by the side edge of the entrance.The ongoing vortex pair interacts with the separated flow near the aft lip of the inlet and results in the low total pressure region at the bottom surface of the exit.(2)With the ascent of Mach number at the exit,both the total pressure loss and distortion index increases.In spite of a remarkable shift of the distortion index under ground running,compared with high speed wind tunnel tests,the synthesis distortion index is kept below 10.0% at the maximum RPM which does not threaten the stable operation of the engine.(3) The CFD results agree well with the experiment and the relative errors of the total pressure coefficient is less than 1.2% though the distortion index by CFD is a bit higher.

2007, 22(3): 406-411.
Abstract:
The experimental investigation of the effects of changing incidences on the aerodynamic performance of compressor cascades with different curved angles and camber angles in a low-speed annular wind tunnel were carried out.Experimental results show that with the increase of camber angle,the choice range of curve height correspond to the best performance in different incidences become narrower.The effects of incidence angles on the aerodynamic performance of positive curved cascades with large camber angle are more evident contrast to with small camber angle.The performance of positive curved cascades with 60°camber angle is so sensitive to the curved angle changing at higher incidence angles,so that a positive curved cascades with larger curved angles than 15°is inadvisable.

Abstract:
By means of experimental investigation of the unsteady flow near the orifice of synthetic jet actuator using PIV technology and using the phase-locked sample technique,72 instantaneous images and quantitative measurements during one actuating cycle for three different frequencies 10,20,30 Hz are obtained.The PIV measurements rdisplay the properties and structures of the unsteady flow field.Detailed study shows that in the current experiment,with fixed orifice scale and increasing frequency,the corresponding average orifice velocity U0 and stroke length L0 increase.While with constant driving frequency and increasing aspect ratio,both average orifice velocity U0 and stroke length L0 decrease.Also with increasing thickness of the orifice plate d,the friction in the orifice channel increases,consequently the average orifice velocity U0 and stroke length L0 decreases.Time-averaged flow field obtained by 350 image pairs overlapped shows the similarity of dimensionless cross-stream velocity profile and the centerline velocity decay ratio of synthetic jet in the fully developed segment is higher than the conventional 2D free jet.

2007, 22(3): 460-464.
Abstract:
A 45° circumferential inlet pressure distortion screen was designed and the effects of screen-induced circumferential inlet pressure distortion on axial flow compressor stage were investigated at a high speed subsonic compressor test rig. The performance characteristics for the rotor with circumferential inlet pressure distortion and clean inlet flow were compared at middle-speed.The circumferential pressure distributions at three axial locations(rotor inlet,rotor outlet and stator outlet) were measured.The results show that the inlet flow distortion has weak effects on the compressor stage at middle-speed.In addition,the enlarging and moving of the distortion-section are not obvious at rotor outlet, but it is enlarged about 100 percent at stator outlet;the distortion is enhanced at rotor outlet and decayed at stator outlet.However,with inlet distortion the pressure ratio of this compressor rotor is improved 1.8 percent and the equivalent mass flow reduced 2.5 percent at near-stall condition in comparing with clean inlet flow.

ZHANG Tian-hong, LI Qiu-hua
2007, 22(3): 471-474.
Abstract:
In order to deal with the control problems of nonlinearity and difficulty of establishing an exact model of a micro turbine engine,a kind of adaptive control arithmetic is proposed and realized.Dead-area robust controlling is used in the adaptive control arithmetic to overcome the stability problem caused by model error and outside disturbance.By adopting forward feed compensation,the output of the engine can track the output of the reference model,and eliminate the possibility of saturation and oscillation when using pure adaptive control arithmetic.The rig test experiments show that,the adaptive control arithmetic has good real time characteristic and robustness in the whole working range of 125000 r/min with the overshoot of less than 500 r/min and the stable error of less than 200 r/min,which can meet the demands of micro turbine engine state regulation.
