The Impact

Experimental and numerical studies have been performed to investigate the effects of the leakage flow tangential velocity on the secondary flow and aerodynamic loss in an axial compressor cascade with a labyrinth seal. Six selected leakage flow tangential (vy/Uhub = 0.15, 0.25, 0.35, 0.45, 0.55 and 0.65) have been tested. In addition to the classical “secondary” flow, shroud trailing edge vortex and shroud leading edge vortex are examined. The overall loss decreases with increasing leakage flow tangential velocity. Increased leakage flow tangential velocity underturns the hub endwall flows through the blade passage, weakening the suction side hub corner separation. Due to the suction effect of the downstream cavity, increasing leakage flow tangential velocity weakens the shroud trailing edge vortex. Also, increasing leakage flow tangential velocity strengthens the shroud leading edge vortex, weakening the pressure side leg of the horseshoe vortex, and, in turn, the passage vortex. Thus, the overall loss is reduced with increasing leakage flow tangential velocity.

1AbstractRecent investigations on the aerodynamics of natural fliers have illuminated the significance of the Leading-Edge Vortex (LEV) for lift generation in a variety of flight conditions. A well documented example of an LEV is that generated by aircraft with highly swept, delta shaped wings. While the wing aerodynamics of a manoeuvring aircraft, a bird gliding and a bird in flapping flight vary significantly, it is believed that this existing knowledge will serve to add understanding to the complex aerodynamics of natural fliers. In this investigation, the wing of a common swift Apus apus is simplified to a model with swept wings and a sharp leading-edge, making it readily comparable to a model delta shaped wing of the same leading-edge geometry. Particle image velocimetry provides an understanding of the effect of the tapering swift wing on LEV development and stability, compared with the delta wing model. For the first time a dual LEV is recorded on a swift shaped wing, where it is found across all tested conditions. It is shown that the span-wise location of LEV breakdown is governed by the local chord rather than Reynolds number or angle of attack. These findings suggest that the common swift is able to generate a dual LEV while gliding, potentially delaying vortex breakdown by exploiting other features non explored here, such as wing twist and flexibility. It is further suggested that the vortex system could be used to damp loading fluctuations, reducing energy expenditure, rather than for lift augmentation.
