LIN Yu-zhen, LIN Yang, ZHANG Chi, XU Quan-hong
2010, 25(9): 1923-1930.
Abstract:
One of the significant characters in superhigh temperature-rise combustors and low emission combustors is represented by the high combustion airflow rate which is more than 60% in the airflow distribution.With this characteristic,the normal combustors could not achieve the basic requirements of the high temperature-rise combustors and low emission combustors.Based on the basic characteristics of combustion and the basic performance of the combustor,this paper emphatically analyzed the limit of the combustion airflow distribution on normal combustor design,and discussed the key points for the high combustion airflow rate combustor and the concept of the flexible staging.This paper compared the characteristics of different staging methods,pointed out that the rich premix prevaporized(RPP) center staged combustion is a preferred method for superhigh temperature-rise combustors,and the lean premix prevaporized(LPP)center staged combustion is a preferred method for low emission combustors.

2010, 25(9): 1931-1937.
Abstract:
The characteristics of heat transfer and flow resistance in turbine blade cooling channel were studied experimentally with use of vapor heating method,which could provide the experimental model with equivalent wall temperature boundary condition.The experiments were carried out under the condition that the Re was 10 000~60 000.The experiment models adopted the structure of crossed-ribs,pin-fins and longitudinal dividers.The outside wall was divided into ten regions and the condensation vapor of the regions was gathered to get the local heat transfer coefficient.The results show that the crossed-ribs channel could lead to better heat performance than the pin-fins channel.The results also show that,in the case of Re<30 000,the structure with the best general heat transfer performance is crossed-ribs channel of 0612,and in the case of Re>30 000,the best one is crossed-ribs channel of 0412.

ZHANG Xing-juan, LI Feng, YANG Chun-xin
2010, 25(9): 1938-1941.
Abstract:
A calculation model for matching the enthalpy parameters of three-wheel bootstrap cooling system was introduced according to the shortcomings of traditional method for matching thermal parameters.The model could simplify the wet cooling point matching process.And the thermal parameters of each system's status point was calculated by the model.The results show that,with the use of enthalpy instead of temperature as the state parameter for system matching,it's viable to simplify the calculation process.An optimal water equivalent ratio is found by system performance analysis;as the three-wheel power ratio increases,the compressor pressure ratio and turbine expansion ratio decrease.

2010, 25(9): 1942-1947.
Abstract:
For the purpose of suitability validation of the approach to dissipate heat from aircraft avionics by the loop heat pipes,the available heat sinks for rejected condenser heat of loop heat pipe were discussed in this paper.The potential for using the aircraft wings skin as a heat sink of the loop heat pipe condenser was proposed.An analysis of the heat transfer for an aircraft wing skin was performed.The aircraft wing inner skin temperature for the entire mission envelope was predicted to determine heat sink temperature range of the loop heat pipe condenser.Theoretical calculations reveal that dissipating heat from the aircraft skin using a loop heat pipe between the avionics package and the aircraft skin is a possible thermal management technique.

ZENG Hao, HE Li-ming, ZHANG Xiong-wei, LI Hai-peng, CHEN Xin
2010, 25(9): 1964-1970.
Abstract:
In order to investigate the influence of jet pressure on detonation initiation via imploding annular shock waves,detonation initiation with different jet pressures was simulated with hydrogen-air mixture.The results indicate that,when jet pressure is high enough,imploding annular shock waves can form high pressure and high temperature region that lead to direct initiation;thrust wall can strengthen reverberation shock,which contributes to initiate detonation;when the jet pressure is lower than its critical value,detonation can not be initiated.
Analysis of turbulence field of film cooling based on large eddy simulation
LIU Ning, SUN Ji-ning
2010, 25(9): 1971-1977.
Abstract:
Large eddy simulation of film cooling over flat plate with 30° streamwise inclined cylinder hole was performed to investigate the turbulence field of film cooling.The Reynolds number at the jet exit was 2 600,and the blowing ratio was 0.5.Numerical results show that flow separation in the hole increases the turbulence kinetic energy and results in the decrease of film cooling effectiveness,which should be avoided as much as possible in design of coolant supply plenum.Eddy viscosity coefficient relevant to the lateral diffusion of film has peak on both sides of the hole,while the peak predicted by isotropic eddy viscosity model is in the shear layer between mainflow and jet.This results in the overprediction of vertical penetration and underprediction of lateral spread of the jet.Large eddy simulation can be used to construct anisotropic turbulence model in order to improve the accuracy of turbulence model.

2010, 25(9): 1978-1983.
Abstract:
The paper adopted the straight and curving passages to investigate the flame characteristic under the same test conditions.The diffusion jet flame characteristic was studied under high centrifugal force.Through comparison and analysis of the test results,it was obviously observed that the flame speed was faster in the curving passages under buoyant force action resulting from a high centrifugal force.The high centrifugal force made the diffusion flame speed faster and weakened the interference of crossflow.The diffusion flame could mix and react with the mainstream much more easily.The penetration depth of jet flame in the crossflow was increased.

GAO Wei, LIN Yu-zhen, FU Zhen-bai, XU Quan-hong
2010, 25(9): 1984-1988.
Abstract:
The injection of supercritical n-decane into a quiescent atmospheric environment was experimentally investigated to study the jet structures and phase transition process near the nozzle exit.It was found that supercritical n-decane jets injected above the critical point underwent ideal gas-like expansion and exhibited visible Mach disk shock structures.The axial location of the Mach disk increases with the growing injection pressure,and the injection temperature has little effects on the axial location of Mach disk.The phase transition process analysis reveals that,the supercritical n-decane is penetrated directly into the gas region from the supercritical region at the nozzle exit,without passing through the two phase region at higher injection temperature.Supercritical n-decane condensation phenomenon occurs in the nozzle and the outlet,and the fuel passes through the two phase region when fuel is injected near the critical point.

2010, 25(9): 1994-1999.
Abstract:
Based on the principle that electromagnetic force varies with electromagnetic field,a test device with parallel electromagnetic and mechanical support elements was designed to realize the varying of the system support stiffness with the electromagnetic field strength.By studying and linearizing the mathematical model of this simulation test device,four design rules were given,making sure that the system support stiffness parameter could be randomly controlled by the controllable random electric current.The linearized rule guarantees the linearity of the system support stiffness;the linear random rule engenders the linear relationship between the support stiffness parameter and the controllable random electric current;the rule of significant random stiffness weight brings about obvious randomness of the system support stiffness,and satisfies the demand of testing;finally the rule of the positive system total stiffness ensures the stability of the simulation test device.Consequently,the simulation test device of random stiffness parameter has been constructed according to these four rules.The test results show that the simulation test device can well simulate the random stiffness parameter.

2010, 25(9): 2030-2035.
Abstract:
Visco-plastic finite element method was used to simulate fatigue crack propagation under constant amplitude cyclic and dwelling tensile loading conditions for a middle-crack specimen made of turbine disc material Udimet720 Li(low inclusion).Node release was used to model the crack propagation at 700 ℃.The influences of different maximum cycle loads and dwelling time on crack open stress intensity factor were studied under plane strain and constant load stress ratio R=0 condition.The values of normalized crack open stress intensity factor were dispersed under different maximum cycle loads,increased at the beginning of the cycles,and then decreased slightly to a steady value after adequate cycles with the crack growth.The result shows that the increase of dwelling time will increase normalized crack open stress intensity factor.Creep may influence the crack growth rate at elevated temperature and under dwelling condition.

ZHANG Rui-min, CAO Yi-Hua
2010, 25(9): 2064-2069.
Abstract:
The aerodynamic characteristics of an airfoil in rain were studied using computational fluid dynamics method.The flow field was calculated by solving the steady compressible Navier-Stokes equations.The trajectories of raindrops in the flow field were tracked with Lagrange method and the collection efficiency of airfoil surfaces was obtained.The model of water film was also set up,then assuming that water film accumulates layer-by-layer in the direction normal to the airfoil surface and the changes of airfoil shape due to rain and the roughness height on water film were predicted.The influence of rain on aerodynamic characteristics of the airfoil was studied using k-ω SST(shear-stress transport) two equations turbulence model with enhanced wall treatment.The results show that rain effect on the lift coefficient and drag coefficient of the airfoil is little within the low angles of attack;rain can cause boundary airflow separation on upper surface and thus result in serious aerodynamic penalties when the airfoil is nearly stalled.

2010, 25(9): 2070-2076.
Abstract:
A design concept of vector-enhanced thrust-vectoring nozzle was proposed to overcome the shortcoming of dual-throat thrust-vectoring nozzle of small vector angle.In the newly designed nozzle,two expansion ramps were added after the second throat of the nozzle to achieve greater vector angle using the Coanda effect.The feasibility of the design concept was firstly analyzed by 2-D simulation,and then the design law of the expansion ramps was studied.Results show that,with the expansion ramps,the efficiency of thrust-vectoring is remarkably enhanced with a vector angle over 20°.But some loss of thrust efficiency is also found.In the researched parametric range,the expansion angle,expansion length and expansion contour affect obviously the performance and the internal flow pattern of the nozzle.Furthermore,placing slots on the concave expansion ramps can suppress the overexpansion of the exhaust flow effectively,and obtain a vector angle of 24.12° and a thrust ratio of 0.929 with consumption of only 2.8% secondary flow.

In order to observe the throughflow design of compressor under the influence of bleeding flow,a bleeding model was set based on the circumference bleeding slot.Bleeding was considered in the throughflow design of compressor by changing the endwall no-slip-boundary condition of bleeding flow area into the velocity law of endwall for the new bleeding boundary condition.A comparative research between the bleeding and non-bleeding throughflow field and 3-D numerical analysis of a two-stage compressor show that,the bleeding model and its throughflow design method can reflect the influence of bleeding parameters as a result of the throughflow calculation.Furthermore,the bleeding model and its throughflow design method can also accurately reflect the change of bleeding with the local flow condition of bleeding flow area.

2010, 25(9): 2132-2138.
Abstract:
Theoretical studies and numerical simulation on dynamic characteristics of an open-end swirl injector were performed.The response of the injector flow to external excitations was investigated by superimposing periodical oscillation of flow-rate at the inlet.The numerical simulation results show that the surface wave causes oscillation of the liquid film in the swirl chamber,and then the flow oscillation occurs at the spout.Moreover,the frequency of the vortex wave is much smaller.The phase angle between the flow oscillation at spout and the pressure drop oscillation is proportional to the oscillation frequency,which agrees well with the linear injector dynamic characteristics theory.

2010, 25(9): 2155-2162.
Abstract:
The fluid-solid coupling model and calculation method of circumferential convergent hydrodynamic finger seal were established.Numerical simulation of fluid solid interaction was conducted in the process of rotor startup.The time-dependent change of leakage rate and radial force of interface was analyzed.Two parameters,i.e.:leakage rate and radial force of interface,were used to evaluate the performance of finger seal at stable state.These two parameters were calculated and their changes were analyzed in different working conditions and structure parameters of fluid interface.Research shows that leakage rate decreases rapidly and tends to be stable,radial force of interface reaches the maximum and then decreases to be stable at last in the process of rotor startup,meeting the requirements of low leakage and non-contacting finger seal.The work provides a basis for optimizing hydrodynamic finger seal with good performance.
