Compressibility Effects

A three-dimensional inviscid flow analysis in the combined scroll-nozzle system of a radial inflow turbine is presented. The coupling of the two turbine components leads to a geometrically complicated, multiply-connected flow domain. Nevertheless, this coupling accounts for the mutual effects of both elements on the three-dimensional flow pattern throughout the entire system. Compressibility effects are treated for an accurate prediction of the nozzle performance. Different geometrical configurations of both the scroll passage and the nozzle region are investigated for optimum performance. The results corresponding to a sample scroll-nozzle configuration are verified by experimental measurements.

A computational study has been performed to examine the amplification of three-dimensional flow features as a vortex with small-amplitude helical perturbations impinges on a circular cylinder whose axis is parallel to the nominal vortex axis. For sufficiently weak vortices with sufficiently small core radius in an inviscid flow, three-dimensional perturbations on the vortex core are indefinitely amplified as the vortex wraps around the cylinder front surface. The paper focuses on the effect of viscosity in regulating amplification of three-dimensional disturbances and on assessing the ability of two-dimensional computations to accurately model parallel vortex–cylinder interaction problems. The computations are performed using a multi-block structured finite-volume method for an incompressible flow, with periodic boundary conditions along the cylinder axis. Growth of three-dimensional flow features is examined using a proper-orthogonal decomposition of the Fourier-transformed vorticity field in the azimuthal and axial directions. The interaction is examined for different axial wavelengths and amplitudes of the initial helical vortex waves and for three different Reynolds numbers.
