Cathode design investigation based on iterative correction of predicted profile errors in electrochemical machining of compressor blades

Electrochemical machining (ECM) is an effective and economical manufacturing method for machining hard-to-cut metal materials that are often used in the aerospace field. Cathode design is very complicated in ECM and is a core problem influencing machining accuracy, especially for complex profiles such as compressor blades in aero engines. A new cathode design method based on iterative correction of predicted profile errors in blade ECM is proposed in this paper. A math-ematical model is first built according to the ECM shaping law, and a simulation is then carried out using ANSYS software. A dynamic forming process is obtained and machining gap distributions at different stages are analyzed. Additionally, the simulation deviation between the prediction profile and model is improved by the new method through correcting the initial cathode profile. Further-more, validation experiments are conducted using cathodes designed before and after the simulation correction. Machining accuracy for the optimal cathode is improved markedly compared with that for the initial cathode. The experimental results illustrate the suitability of the new method and that it can also be applied to other complex engine components such as diffusers.     

Reduced order model for unsteady aerodynamic performance of compressor cascade based on recursive RBF

Based on Recursive Radial Basis Function (RRBF) neural network, the Reduced Order Model (ROM) of compressor cascade was established to meet the urgent demand of highly efficient prediction of unsteady aerodynamics performance of turbomachinery. One novel ROM called ASA-RRBF model based on Adaptive Simulated Annealing (ASA) algorithm was developed to enhance the generalization ability of the unsteady ROM. The ROM was verified by predicting the unsteady aerodynamics performance of a highly-loaded compressor cascade. The results show that the RRBF model has higher accuracy in identification of the dimensionless total pressure and dimensionless static pressure of compressor cascade under nonlinear and unsteady conditions, and the model behaves higher stability and computational efficiency. However, for the strong nonlinear characteristics of aerodynamic parameters, the RRBF model presents lower accuracy. Additionally, the RRBF model predicts with a large error in the identification of aerodynamic parameters under linear and unsteady conditions. For ASA-RRBF, by introducing a small-amplitude and high-frequency sinusoidal signal as validation sample, the width of the basis function of the RRBF model is optimized to improve the generalization ability of the ROM under linear unsteady conditions. Besides, this model improves the predicting accuracy of dimensionless static pressure which has strong nonlinear characteristics. The ASA-RRBF model has higher prediction accuracy than RRBF model without significantly increasing the total time consumption. This novel model can predict the linear hysteresis of dimensionless static pressure happened in the harmonic condition, but it cannot accurately predict the beat frequency of dimensionless total pressure.

跨声叶栅角区激波/附面层干扰的开槽控制措施

提出了使用叶根槽作为一种被动控制手段来控制跨声叶栅的角区分离问题。在压力面与吸力面的压差作用下,叶根槽可产生自发射流,为叶栅吸力面侧角区注入高能流体,从而控制跨声叶栅的角区分离问题。通过数值模拟的方法分析了在不同攻角下叶根槽对压气机叶栅性能的影响及作用机理。结果表明:在小攻角下,叶根槽射流可破坏角区环形涡,从而有效减小跨声叶栅角区分离,提高叶栅的流通能力,改善叶栅性能;在大攻角下,叶根槽射流已不能破坏角区环形涡,但仍能为角区低能流体充能,减弱角区分离,从而拓宽叶栅工作范围。在0°攻角下总压损失系数可降低11.6%,同时叶栅攻角裕度由2°拓宽为3°。      

进口探针支杆尾迹诱发压气机转子叶片共振的数值研究

为了探究包含支杆直径10mm进口探针的压气机罕见地出现第一级转子叶片动应变超限报警的产生机理,以更换直径8mm+3mm的探针后报警解除的情况作为对比方案,开展了进口探针支杆诱发压气机转子叶片振动的流动机理研究。以试验压气机为研究对象,利用ANSYS APDL命令流语言使用载荷步文件法对该压气机转子叶片进行了单向瞬态流固耦合数值计算。结果表明,两类探针支杆尾迹影响下,压气机转子叶片都发生了共振;引起叶片共振的激振力频率来源于支杆尾迹诱导频率与支杆通过频率的叠加,其中支杆尾迹诱导频率是由支杆尾迹涡脱落与转子叶片通过非同相位所诱导产生;支杆直径减小,支杆尾迹引起的叶片表面激振力减小,使叶片振动应变相应降低。     

通道前缘小叶片对轴流压气机叶栅气动性能的影响研究

为了更好地控制压气机静叶角区分离,结合翼刀和涡流发生器的流动控制思想,提出一种在叶栅通道前缘端壁设置小叶片的新型流动控制手段。以某高负荷轴流压气机叶栅为研究对象,基于数值方法深入分析了不同周向位置和安装角的小叶片对流场的影响。结果表明：小叶片存在提升叶栅气动性能的最佳周向位置和安装角范围。在近失速工况附近,小叶片可减缓角区分离,提高全叶高的扩压能力,但会不可避免地增加中间叶高位置处的流动分离和气动载荷;小叶片可减少角区分离损失和尾迹损失,提高各流向位置处的静压系数。小叶片能阻碍马蹄涡压力面分支发展,减缓叶栅前缘附近的横向二次流动。从小叶片叶顶泄漏的诱导涡可将马蹄涡压力面分支推向流向,带走端壁和角区附近的低能流体,从而削弱通道涡强度。
