Tip leakage vortex (TLV) has a large impact on compressor performance and should be accurately predicted by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods. New approaches of turbulence modeling, such as delayed detached eddy simulation (DDES), have been proposed, the computational resources of which can be reduced much more than for large eddy simulation (LES). In this paper, the numerical simulations of the rotor in a low-speed large-scale axial compressor based on DDES and unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (URANS) are performed, thus improving our understanding of the TLV dynamic mechanisms and discrepancy of these two methods. We compared the influence of different time steps in the URANS simulation. The widely used large time-step makes the unsteadiness extremely weak. The small time-step shows a better result close to DDES. The time-step scale is related to the URANS unsteadiness and should be carefully selected. In the time-averaged flow, the TLV in DDES dissipates faster, which has a more similar structure to the experiment. Then, the time-averaged and instantaneous results are compared to divide the TLV into three parts. URANS cannot give the loss of stability and evolution details of TLV. The fluctuation velocity spectra show that the amplitude of high frequencies becomes obvious downstream from the TLV, where it becomes unstable. Last, the anisotropy of the Reynolds stress of these two methods is analyzed through the Lumley triangle to see the distinction between the methods and obtain the Reynolds stress. The results indicate that the TLV latter part in DDES is anisotropic, while in URANS it is isotropic.

Effusion cooling is one of the most effective and widespread techniques to prevent combustor liner from being damaged. However, most recent developments in combustion techniques, resulting from increasingly stricter air pollution regulations, have highlighted the necessity of reducing the amount of air available for effusion cooling while keeping an adequate level of protection. Adoption of compound angles in effusion cooling is increasingly recognized by jet engine manufacturers as a powerful solution to meet new combustor requirements. Therefore, understanding the flow behavior and developing methods able to provide accurate estimates of wall temperatures is of a major importance. This study assesses the capability of a high-level Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) method, differential Reynolds stress model (DRSM), in conjunction with a generalized gradient diffusion hypothesis (GGDH), and of a hybrid RANS–large eddy simulations (LES) method, zonal detached eddy simulation (ZDES), to predict overall film effectiveness. Both approaches are compared with the experimental data from Zhang et al. (2009, “Cooling Effectiveness of Effusion Walls With Deflection Hole Angles Measured by Infrared Imaging,” Appl. Therm. Eng., 29(5), pp. 966–972) and with a classical well-known RANS model (k–ω shear-stress transport (SST) model). Despite the fact that some discrepancies are found, both approaches have proved suitable and reliable for predicting wall temperatures (relative errors of about 5%). Moreover, a new method to deal with ZDES length scales for unstructured grids is proposed. ZDES applicability and its general advantages and drawbacks are also discussed. Finally, an in-depth analysis of the film structure is carried out on the basis of the ZDES simulations. The principal structures are identified (an asymmetric main vortex (AMV) and a counter rotating vortex pair, CRVP), and the film formation mechanisms are presented. Significant spanwise-homogeneous distributions of surface overall film cooling effectiveness are observed.

The Wall-modeled Large-eddy Simulation (WMLES) methods are commonly accompanied with an underprediction of the skin friction and a deviation of the velocity profile. The widely-used Improved Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation (IDDES) method is suggested to improve the prediction of the mean skin friction when it acts as WMLES, as claimed by the original authors. However, the model tested only on flow configurations with no heat transfer. This study takes a systematic approach to assess the performance of the IDDES model for separated flows with heat transfer. Separated flows on an isothermal wall and walls with mild and intense heat fluxes are considered. For the case of the wall with heat flux, the skin friction and Stanton number are underpredicted by the IDDES model however, the underprediction is less significant for the isothermal wall case. The simulations of the cases with intense wall heat transfer reveal an interesting dependence on the heat flux level supplied; as the heat flux increases, the IDDES model declines to predict the accurate skin friction.
