Casing Treatments

In this study endwall treatments, which are integrated into an abradable liner, are used to reduce the liner solidity, defined by the volumetric proportion between endwall treatments and solid casing. Consequently the milled off amount of liner material during the rubbing process is decreased. The mechanical stresses in the rotor blades are thus supposed to be reduced, so that liner materials with higher strength can be used or additional blade tip coatings are dispensable. Accordingly, the purpose of the present study was to develop geometries of endwall treatments, which reduce the liner solidity as much as possible without degrading the stage performance of the test compressor. The focus of the work lies exclusively on the aerodynamics. Investigations were made by steady and unsteady computational fluid dynamics on a transonic single stage axial compressor with two different tip clearance sizes (0.64%/1.28% span). The developed configurations resemble casing treatments, comparable to axial slots and circumferential grooves, which are adapted to the specific tasks of liners. Solidity could be reduced by as much as 29% with negligible efficiency degradation for small tip gaps and increased efficiencies for large tip clearances.

This paper discusses the role that computational fluid dynamics plays in the design of aircraft. An overview of the design process is provided, covering some of the typical decisions that a design team addresses within a multi-disciplinary environment. On a very regular basis trade-offs between disciplines have to be made where a set of conflicting requirements exists. Within an aircraft development project, we focus on the aerodynamic design problem and review how this process has been advanced, first with the improving capabilities of traditional computational fluid dynamics analyses, and then with aerodynamic optimizations based on these increasingly accurate methods.

Turbomachinery Design

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) probably plays a greater part in the aerodynamic design of turbomachinery than it does in any other engineering application. For many years the design of a modern turbine or compressor has been unthinkable without the help of CFD and this dependence has increased as more of the flow becomes amenable to numerical prediction. The benefits of CFD range from shorter design cycles to better performance and reduced costs and weight. This paper presents a review of the main CFD methods in use, discusses their advantages and limitations and points out where further developments are required. The paper is concerned with the application of CFD and does not describe the numerical methods or turbulence modelling in any detail.
