Aerodynamic experiments on three cascades of an 850-mm steam turbine blade have been performed. Several Schlieren photographs that give clear shock structures and dynamic performances at different Mach numbers have been obtained by a Schlieren-videcorder system. On the basis of the experimental data, we analyzed the generation and development of the shock patterns in the transonic turbine casade channel and their influence on the aerodynamic performance was analyzed. Through discussions and analysis, it is shown that these cascades characterize high loading capacity with satisfactory efficiency.

Abstract To improve the steam turbines’ efficiency, researchers have put their efforts on blade foil design. Aiming at improve the aerodynamic performance of steam turbine at low load, this paper will study the effect of blade foil with bionics design on steam turbine aerodynamic performance, based on humpback whale’s fin. This paper mainly discusses a bionic foil design used on steam turbine. There are three main control parameters for each tubercle structure — amplitude, wavelength, and thickness. Taking the axial torque as the decisive consideration data and combining the vorticity diagram to analyze the flow, and on this basis, the influence of the vortex pair on the flow of the turbine blade is studied. The greater the torque, the stronger the function, so the steam turbines’ efficiency is higher. The flow condition of the optimized blade shape is improved compared to the original blade shape because it fits the blade more closely and the separated flow vortex is suppressed.

Abstract Steam turbine blade is a very complex structure. It has geometric complexities like variation of twist, taper, width and thickness along its length. Most of the time these variations are not uniform. Apart from these geometric complexities, the blades are coupled by means of lacing wire, lacing rod or shroud. Blades are attached to a flexible disc which contributes to the dynamic behavior of the blade. Root fixity also plays an important role in this behavior. There is a considerable variation in the frequencies of blades of newly assembled turbine and frequencies after some hours of running. Again because of manufacturing tolerances there can be some variation in the blade to blade frequencies. Determination of natural frequencies of the blade is therefore a very critical job. Problems associated with typical industrial turbine bladed discs of a 235 MW steam turbine are highlighted in this paper.

In order to solve the problem of poor steam turbine blade processing efficiency, and on the basis of analyzing the turbine blade surface and the existing processing methods, a model of circular cutter turbine blade machining is built. By comparing the tool paths of horizontal and vertical section envelope machining, choosing quasi-vertical cross section envelope machining method and utilizing the original datum and NURBS surface matching mathematic methods, this paper provides an algorithm of residual height calculating, and based on this, the tool path can be planned. Datum show that, the tool path of circular cutter machining blades is much longer than the tool path of ball-end cutter envelop milling machining blades, and the machining efficiency is also highly enhanced.
