中心分级多点直喷燃烧室冷态流动特性研究

为了探究中心分级多点直喷燃烧室流动特性,采用试验和数值模拟方法分别对固壁边界条件、周期性边界条件和带发散小孔冷却共三种燃烧室模型在冷态条件下的流动特性进行了研究,分析了周期性边界条件下冷却空气与核心区旋流空气的相互作用过程,获得了边界条件和发散小孔冷却对流动特性的影响规律。结果表明：在固壁边界条件下,角回流区(CORZ)均匀分布在四周壁面处,并能够在副模下游形成稳定的中心回流区(CTRZ),而且主副模相互作用较小,有利于小工况下的火焰稳定;在周期性边界条件下,上下壁面处角回流区明显增大,抑制了中心回流区的发展,最终形成了两个较小的中心回流区;增加发散小孔冷却后,冷却空气抑制了角回流区的发展,角回流区尺寸明显变小,形成了更大的中心回流区。结果亦表明为了更准确的理解燃烧室内的流动特性,在试验和数值计算过程中需要考虑壁面边界条件和冷却空气对核心区流场的影响。     

涡轮导叶W型孔全气膜冷却效率实验研究

为了研究涡轮导叶W型孔全气膜冷却效率的分布规律,使用热色液晶测量了在流量比为5.5%、8.4%和12.5%,主流湍流度为1%、9%和15%下W型孔全气膜涡轮导叶的气膜冷却效率,并与相同工况下的圆柱型孔全气膜叶片的冷却效率结果进行了对比。结果表明：在低湍流度下,流量比变化对W型孔叶片不同区域冷却效率的影响规律不同;而在高湍流度下,流量比增大使W型孔叶片的冷却效率整体升高;在本文研究的所有流量比下,W型孔叶片的冷却效率均随着湍流度的升高而降低;与圆柱型孔叶片相比,在中低湍流度下,W型孔的冷气壁面贴附性和展向覆盖效果更好,W型孔叶片的冷却效率具有明显优势,然而在高湍流度下由于W型孔的冷气速度低且分布分散,易在高湍流度影响下耗散,W型孔叶片的冷却效率优势较小,甚至在高湍流度大流量比下,圆柱型孔叶片的面平均冷却效率比W型孔叶片高15%左右。     

Large-eddy simulation and linear acoustic modeling of entropy mode oscillations in a model combustor with coolant injection

Lean-burn combustor is particularly susceptible to combustion instability and the unsteady heat release is usually considered as the excitation of the self-maintained thermo-acoustic oscillations. The transverse coolant injection is widely used to reduce the temperature of burnt gas, but on the other hand, it will introduce temperature fluctuation inside the combustor. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the influence of the coolant injection on combustion instability, and evaluate its dynamic feature. In this paper, Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) of the self-excited pressure oscillations in a model combustor with coolant injection is carried out. The analysis of transient flow characteristics and the identification of the pressure modes confirm that one of the low frequency pressure oscillations is related to entropy fluctuations, which is known as rumble combustion instability. The LES results show that transient coolant injection is another excitation of temperature fluctuation other than unsteady combustion. The amplitude of the entropy mode oscillation increases with increasing coolant air mass whereas the change of its frequency is insignificant. According to the major feature of entropy wave oscillation caused by coolant injection, a compact coolant injection model is proposed and applied in the One Dimensional (1D) Acoustic Network Method (ANM). Key correlations used in the model match well with LES data in low frequency range. This means that the coolant injection model is a complex one reflecting the interaction of the fluctuating coolant mass, pressure and temperature. Finally, the combustion instability frequencies and modes predicted by acoustic network method are also in good agreement with LES results.     

Experimental characteristics of a two-electrode plasma synthetic jet actuator array in serial

Plasma Synthetic Jet (PSJ) actuators have shown wide and promising application prospects in high-speed flow control, due to their advantages including high exhaust speed, wide frequency band, rapid response, and non-moving components. Although previous studies on PSJ actuators are abundant, most of them have focused on the performance of a single actuator. However, in practice, an actuator array is very necessary for large-scale aerodynamic actuation on account of the small affected area of a single PSJ. In this paper, the characteristics of a two-electrode plasma synthetic jet actuator array in serial are investigated experimentally. Compared to a parallel actuator array, the serial actuator array requires simpler power supply design and is much easier to realize. High-speed photography of the discharge evolution, voltage-current measurement, and shadowgraphy visualization are used in the investigation. Experimental results show that, for the serial actuator array, weak discharges happen firstly between energized and suspending electrodes, and then a strong pulse arc discharge is triggered. The breakdown voltage in serial is irrelevant to such factors as the number of actuators, the maximum or minimum gap in serial, the connection sequence, etc. It is mainly determined by the sum of gaps. For serial actuators with the same anode-to-cathode spacing, the energy deposition is the same, and the jet is synchronous and similar. Because of the entrainment and merging of adjacent jet vortices, the jet front speed of an aligned synchronous jet array increases as the orifice distance decreases. To achieve the highest jet front velocity, the orifice of the actuator has an optimal diameter.     

Siren(旋笛式)激励系统的气动声学特性

基于siren(旋笛式)激励系统,理论推导了旋笛产生的非定常脉动速度和双传声器法获得的声质点振动速度之间的能量转换关系,并通过系统的气动声学特性实验考察了激励强度、频率、马赫数以及传感器间距对声质点振动速度的影响,验证了理论模型.结果表明:由旋笛产生的非定常脉动速度并不完全转换为声质点振动速度,这种转换关系主要与马赫数有关.且当流体为不可压缩气体,即马赫数小于0.3时,能量转换因子与马赫数的平方成正比,马赫数越大,能量转换因子越大,非定常流动转换为声能的效率越高.      

A review of recent studies on rotating internal cooling for gas turbine blades

Gas turbines have been used extensively for aircraft and marine propulsions as well as land-based power generation because of their high thermal efficiency and large power to weight ratios. To further increase the thermal efficiency, numerous prior researches on gas turbine blade internal cooling have been intensively carried out, majorly under stationary conditions. However, the stationary studies neglect the effects of Coriolis and buoyancy forces, which should change the velocity, turbulence and temperature distribution under rotating conditions. To elucidate the rotational effects on gas turbine internal cooling, the extensive results collected from recent investigations are discussed, which include the rotation and buoyancy effects on the rib turbulated cooling, pin fin cooling, jet impingement cooling, dimple/protrusion cooling, latticework cooling as well as swirl cooling. The rotational effects on the friction factors and the most employed experimental and numerical methods are also presented. Moreover, recommendations for future research are outlined. Therefore, this review article provides extensive literature information for the design of the next-generation high-efficiency internal cooling for rotating turbine blades.     

Flight safety oriented ice shape modulation using distributed plasma actuator units

Ice accretion on the wings seriously threatens the flight safety of an aircraft. From the perspectives of ensuring flight safety and saving power consumption, the ice shape modulation method using distributed plasma is proposed. Distributed plasma actuator units are designed to modulate the spanwise continuous ice at the leading edge into periodically segmented ice pieces, forming a wavy leading edge. Both airfoil and scaled aircraft model, with continuous and modulated ice, are experimentally investigated and simulated. Compared with the continuous ice, ice shape modulation can significantly improve the aerodynamic performance, flight control characteristics and flight safety. This method can save about half electric power, which is very beneficial for application.     

Suppressing unsteady motion of shock wave by high-frequency plasma synthetic jet

Three Plasma Synthetic Jet Actuators (PSJA) under the high-frequency actuation are used to control the Shock Wave Boundary Layer Interaction (SWBLI), a high-speed schlieren image processing method based on spatial Fourier transform as well as snapshot proper orthogonal decomposition were used to study the control effect of high-frequency plasma synthetic jet on low-frequency unsteadiness of SWBLI. The analysis of the base flow shows that the separated shock wave actually has both large- and small-amplitude vibrations at low frequency. And the results revealed that the PSJA with an operating frequency of 2 kHz has the ability to reduce the energy of low-frequency component of shock wave motion, indicating that the 2 kHz actuation can effectively suppress low-frequency unsteadiness of the separated wave. Compared with the actuation frequency of 2 kHz, the energy of low-frequency component of the shock wave is enhanced under the 8 kHz actuation, which aggravates the low-frequency unsteady motion of the shock wave. It is likely that the actuation frequency is too high, thus the intensity of the precursor shock wave induced by PSJA becomes weaker. Additionally, as the 4 kHz actuation is applied, the pulsation of the separation region was enhanced, it is speculated that the actuation frequency is coupled with the oscillation frequency of the separation region.

通过在激波风洞中开展转捩试验,选取来流马赫数分别为6和8,单位雷诺数分别为4.1×10 6m -1 、2.6×10 7m -1 和4.4×10 7m -1 的来流条件,研究马赫数、单位雷诺数以及攻角变化对钝锥边界层和平板边界层转捩位置的影响。结果表明,攻角增大使钝锥迎风面和背风面边界层转捩位置均前移,使平板边界层转捩位置也前移;钝锥边界层在低马赫数时更容易转捩,平板边界层转捩受马赫数影响在攻角有差异时有所不同;单位雷诺数的增大促进转捩,但对于钝锥边界层而言,该参数增加到试验选定的上限时,转捩位置的变化并不明显;在转捩过程中平板边界层的脉动压力系数与热流具有相同的变化趋势。试验捕捉到了第二模态扰动。
