Compressor Rotor

The effects of circumferential distortions in inlet total pressure on the flow field in a low-aspect-ratio, high-speed, high-pressure-ratio, transonic compressor rotor are investigated in this paper. The flow field was studied experimentally and numerically with and without inlet total pressure distortion. Total pressure distortion was created by screens mounted upstream from the rotor inlet. Circumferential distortions of 8 periods per revolution were investigated at two different rotor speeds. The unsteady blade surface pressures were measured with miniature pressure transducers mounted in the blade. The flow fields with and without inlet total pressure distortion were analyzed numerically by solving steady and unsteady forms of the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. Steady three-dimensional viscous flow calculations were performed for the flow without inlet distortion while unsteady three-dimensional viscous flow calculations were used for the flow with inlet distortion. For the time-accurate calculation, circumferential and radial variations of the inlet total pressure were used as a time-dependent inflow boundary condition. A second-order implicit scheme was used for the time integration. The experimental measurements and the numerical analysis are highly complementary for this study because of the extreme complexity of the flow field. The current investigation shows that inlet flow distortions travel through the rotor blade passage and are convected into the following stator. At a high rotor speed where the flow is transonic, the passage shock was found to oscillate by as much as 20% of the blade chord, and very strong interactions between the unsteady passage shock and the blade boundary layer were observed. This interaction increases the effective blockage of the passage, resulting in an increased aerodynamic loss and a reduced stall margin. The strong interaction between the passage shock and the blade boundary layer increases the peak aerodynamic loss by about one percent.

Principal Contributor

The relationship between turbomachinery blade circulation and tip clearance vortex circulation measured experimentally is examined using three-dimensional viscous flow computations. It is shown that the clearance vortex circulation one would measure is dependent on the placement of the fluid contour around which the circulation measurement is taken. Radial transport of vorticity results in the magnitude of the measured clearance vortex circulation generally being less than the blade circulation. For compressors, radial transport of vorticity shed from the blade tip in proximity to the endwall is the principal contributor to the discrepancy between the measured vortex circulation and blade circulation. Further, diffusion of vorticity shed at the blade tip toward the endwall makes it impossible in most practical cases to construct a fluid contour around the vortex that encloses all, and only, the vorticity shed from the blade tip. One should thus not expect agreement between measured tip clearance vortex circulation and circulation around the blade.

Extensive Experimental Data

Validation of a viscous-flow method for predicting propeller-hull interaction is provided through detailed comparisons with recent extensive experimental data for the practical three-dimensional configuration of the Series 60 CB = 0.6 ship model. Modifications are made to the k-e turbulence model for the present geometry and application. Agreement is demonstrated between the calculations and global and some detailed aspects of the data; however, very detailed resolution of the flow is lacking. This supports the previous conclusion for propeller-shaft configurations and axisymmetric bodies that the present procedures can accurately simulate the steady part of the combined propeller-hull flow field, although turbulence modeling and detailed numerical treatments are critical issues. The present application enables a more critical evaluation through further discussion of these and other relevant issues, such as the use of radial-and angular-varying body-force distributions, the relative importance of turbulence modeling and grid density on the resolution of the harmonics of the propeller inflow, and three-dimensional propeller-hull interaction, including the differences for the nominal and effective inflows and for the resulting steady and unsteady propeller performance. Also, comparisons are made with an inviscid-flow method. Lastly, some concluding remarks are made concerning the limitations of the method, requirements and prognosis for improvements, and application to the design of wake-adapted propellers.

Flow Calculation

A partially-parabolic calculation procedure is used to calculate flow in a centrifugal impeller. This general-geometry, cascade-flow method is an extension of a duct-flow calculation procedure. The three-dimensional pressure field within the impeller is obtained by first performing a three-dimensional inviscid flow calculation and then adding a viscosity model and a viscous-wall boundary condition to allow calculation of the three-dimensional viscous flow. Wake flow, resulting from boundary layer accumulation in an adverse reduced-pressure gradient, causes blockage of the impeller passage and results in significant modifications of the pressure field. Calculated wake development and pressure distributions are compared with measurements.
