2008, 23(11): 1953-1960.
Abstract:
An optimization method based on the combination of wavelet neural networks(WNN)and Pareto genetic algorithm was proposed,and was applied to the numerical optimization in internal flows.WNN is composed of input layer,hidden layer and output layer.It replaces the commonly used Sigmoid activation function in back propagation(BP) neural networks by Morlet wavelet generating functions in hidden layer.Pareto genetic algorithm has great global optimum ability and optimization efficiency.Generally,it can always gain uniformly-distributed Pareto optimal solution set.Typical algorithm examples indicate that this algorithm can complete approaching and mapping of non-linear function quickly,efficiently and accurately,with great generalization ability.

Abstract:
In order to calculate strain-fatigue life reliability of a disk more accurately,considering the failure correlation of the disc with multi-critical sites in the same stress level,a method for analysis of strain-fatigue life reliability was proposed.A strain-fatigue life reliability interfere model based on generalized strength and generalized stress was set up,and H-L method was used to evaluate the fatigue life reliability at a failure site.As a fan disk usually contains multi critical sites in the same stress level,the strain-fatigue life reliability of the disk concerning multi failure sites correlation was acquired through the Hohenbichler's integral method.Finally,an example of strain-fatigue life analysis of the disk was given to demonstrate the efficiency of the method.The relationship of the correlation coefficient between the failure functions and the correlation coefficient between random variables in the stain-life model is discussed.Also the relationship of the correlation coefficient between the failure functions and the probabilistic fatigue life of the fan disk concerning multi failure sites correlation is illustrated.

2008, 23(11): 2036-2042.
Abstract:
A series of single-shot detonation experiments was performed to characterize the deflagration to detonation transition(DDT) process for H2/Air mixtures in a 60 mm square tube that was 2 m in length.High-speed digital imaging was used to track flame propagation beginning from the ignition,and simultaneous seven high-speed pressure transducers,mounted along the tube wall between 850~1200 mm,were used to record progress of the compression and shock wave.According to high-speed images,it is found that DDT process has five phase:① Normal combustion is initiated by an electric spark and its velocity is only 0~15 m/s;② Flame acceleration and deflagration formation which propagates with 500~1000 m/s;③Hot spots appear along the tube wall;④ formation of explosion center which creates blast wave;⑤ formation of strong detonation wave which propagates with 1800~2000 m/s.In the zone from 850 to 1 200 mm,which pressure transducers were mounted,the maximum pressure value firstly rises from 1.5 MPa to 7 MPa,then down to 2~3 MPa,and the detonation wave velocity is about 2000~2100 m/s,which is suit with the result achieved from the high-speed digital imaging.

2008, 23(11): 2043-2048.
Abstract:
For a single dodecane droplet in the thermal environment of combined convection and radiation,the evaporation characteristics were investigated numerically.The internal absorption model of thermal radiation and the surface absorption one was separately combined with the limited conductivity model of droplet.The transient dependence of thermal properties on temperature and components was taken into account along with the transient relative velocity of gas flow to the droplet.The evolvements of droplet radius,temperature and evaporating rate under various convective conditions and various temperatures of thermal radiation were presented.The differences between the predicted results by the two thermal radiation models were compared,and the effect of thermal radiation on droplet evaporation was analyzed.The results show that,the predicted values of droplet lifetime by the two thermal radiation models are relatively less different.But the internal absorption model can reveal the characteristics of energy supply to droplet surface.The effect of thermal radiation on the droplet evaporation is small when the temperature of thermal radiation equals to that of the gas flow,but it becomes very significant at a temperature higher than that of gas flow.

2008, 23(11): 2055-2061.
Abstract:
An improved uncoupled solver of non-equilibrium flow was introduced and developed in this study.The splitting of convective species flux was uncoupled from the N-S equations and based on the splitting result of the convective density flux.Inviscid flux was calculated with fifth-order weighted essentially non-oscillatory scheme.Simplified implicit formulation was adopted to deal with the stiffness generated by the chemical reacting source term of every separate species equation.Shock-induced combustion phenomena of a blunt body in stoichiometric H2/O2 and H2/Air mixture were calculated to validate the solver.The steady and unsteady shock-induced combustion flowfields agree favorably well with the experimental observation.Oscillating frequencies of unsteady case agree well with the experimental data.The results indicate that the method is sufficiently efficient in the application to multi-species and multi-reaction flow.

Abstract:
This paper presents detail measurements of film cooling effectiveness in a flat plan for a row double fan-shaped holes.The streamwise angle of hole was 45°and the diameter of hole was d.The pitch-to-diameter ratio(p/d) contained 2,3 and 4.The momentum flux ratios varied from 1 to 4 and the turbulence level contained 0.4% and 8%.The result indicated that the double fan-shaped holes made significant improvement of film cooling effectiveness compared with the round holes.The variety of the p/d had great effects on film cooling effectiveness.Increasing the momentum flux ratio lead to large improvement of film cooling effectiveness at the p/d=2,while the momentum flux ratio had small effects on it at the p/d=4.The enhancement of turbulence level lead to obvious decrease in film cooling effectiveness when p/d is large and the momentum ratio is high.

2008, 23(11): 2088-2094.
Abstract:
The development of aero-engine technology makes it necessary to study the versatile core engine technology.Versatile core engine technology not only increases the number of the common parts of the developed engines,reduces its research and development periods,but also improves the performances of all the types of the developed engines.Aero-engines of different kinds with a certain power/thrust class could be derived from the corresponding versatile core engine with a certain mass flow amount.The design of versatile core engine must make a compromise between strength and aero-dynamic performance,and its components must be able to work effectively and stably within a wide range of operation;moreover,the versatile core engine should allow some small changes in the follow-up development.This paper discusses the issues for the turbine stage numbers and the compressor form in the conceptual design of a medium-small scale versatile core engine.
Effects of rotating inlet distortion on aerodynamic stability and stall inception of axial-flow compressor
ZHANG Huan, HU Jun, TU Bao-feng, WANG Zhi-qiang, ZHAO Yong
2008, 23(11): 2095-2100.
Abstract:
Effects of rotating inlet distortion on the aerodynamic stability of compressor were carried out in a 2-stage low speed compressor.The results show that the rotating screen in the upstream has great impact on the aerodynamic stability and total static pressure rise ratio of the compressor.When the rotating screen rotates at a different direction with the compressor,the pressure rise ratio and flow coefficient of stable boundary point vary little.If both have the same rotation direction,the speed of the rotating screen has big effect on both of the stability and the pressure rise ratio,especially between 40~60 percent of rotor speed.Through analysis of the variation of amplitude of characteristic frequency,it's concluded that the rotating stall induced by the low-total-pressure area produced by rotating screen will appear in the compressor.If the mass flow continues to decrease,the compressor will enter into natural rotating stall state.The experimental results of stall inception process reveal that the rotating inlet distortion can't affect the stall inception of the compressor.
