Effect of baffle injectors on the first-order tangential acoustic mode in a cylindrical combustor

Combustion instability is a very important issue in the development of the propulsion systems used in aerospace. It is very important to associate the high frequency combustion instabilities with the acoustic characteristics of the combustion chamber. In this paper, the effects of various baffle injectors which were installed on the injector faceplate on the first-order tangential acoustic mode were investigated theoretically and experimentally. The effects of the gap between adjacent injectors on the first-order tangential acoustic mode in a cylindrical chamber were considered. The acoustic admittance of the injectors was derived. The results showed that the amplitude and frequency of the first-order tangential acoustic mode increase with the increase in the gap between adjacent injectors, but decrease with the increase in the number and height of the baffles. The baffle injectors have a greater influence on the amplitude and frequency of the first-order tangential acoustic mode than the baffle blades.     

旋转爆轰波与涡轮平面叶栅相互作用数值模拟

由于旋转爆轰燃烧室具有自增压特性，可提高热力循环效率，因此将旋转爆轰燃烧室应用于燃气轮机可进一步提高系统的性能。基于非稳态雷诺时均Navier-Stokes方法，采用剪切应力输运k-ω湍流模型，建立旋转爆轰燃烧室与涡轮平面叶栅耦合计算模型，研究旋转爆轰燃烧室内的复杂波系与涡轮叶片的相互作用，分析涡轮叶栅对高频爆轰压力振荡的抑制作用。结果表明：旋转爆轰燃烧室内的燃气在涡轮叶栅内加速，并且在斜激波后的局部区域马赫数的增加更为明显。斜激波与涡轮静转子叶片的前缘、压力面、吸力面以及尾缘相互作用，由于旋转爆轰波不同的传播方向，使得斜激波与静子叶片呈相互垂直或平行，进而形成两种不同的波系结构。涡轮叶栅对高频压力振荡存在明显的抑制作用，涡轮叶栅上下游高频压力振荡幅值的衰减率达到80%以上。研究结果展示了旋转爆轰波作用下涡轮叶栅内复杂波系结构特征，并对基于爆轰燃烧推进技术的应用提供了一定的理论基础。     

微织构刀具对钛合金切屑形成影响的仿真研究

针对微织构刀具对钛合金Ti6Al4V切屑形成以及微槽二次切削机理分析的不足，通过建立热-力耦合仿真模型对比研究不同微织构刀具、微织构几何尺寸以及切削速度对切屑形成的影响规律。数值仿真结果表明：微织构刀具更有利于断屑，二次切削作用使切屑的弯曲半径变大，微织构可以减小刀屑之间实际接触面积，降低切削温度。增大微织构宽度可以增强微槽的二次切削作用，利于断屑，但应注意其对刀具强度的削弱作用，而增大相邻微槽间距则会出现相反的二次切削作用机制。提高切削速度对各刀具均有利于断屑，弧形微织构刀具的降温效果最好，V形微织构刀具次之，矩形微织构刀具降温效果最差。研究结果对进一步理解微织构刀具对钛合金切屑的二次切削作用机理提供一定参考。     

Mixing and combustion characteristics in a scramjet combustor with different distances between cavity and backward-facing step

The mixing and combustion characteristics in a cavity flameholding combustor under inlet Mach number 2.92 are numerically investigated with ethylene injection. Dimensionless distance is defined as the ratio of the actual distance to the height of the combustor entrance. The cavity shear-layer mode, the lifted cavity shear-layer mode, and jet wake mode with upstream separation are observed respectively with dimensionless distance equals to 1.5, 4.5, and 7.5. In both non-reacting and reacting flow...

Simulation of the secondary air system of turbofan engines: Insights from 1D-3D modeling

Focusing on the internal flow and heat transfer analysis, a platform for the performance evaluation of the Secondary Air System (SAS) is developed. A multi-fidelity modeling technique has been developed in a turbofan engine model under different flight conditions. A turbine blade cooling model which integrates external heat transfer calculations and coolant side modeling with common components is proposed. In addition, the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method is selected to capture the complex flow field structure in the preswirl system. The validity of the SAS models is compared with publicly available data. An elaborately designed cooling system for the AGTF30 engine is analyzed through three main branches. It is found that the 1D-3D modeling technique can provide more accurate predictions of the SAS for the AGTF30 engine. The results demonstrate the versatility and flexibility of the SAS models, thereby indicating the capacity of meeting most of the demands of flow and thermal analysis of the SAS.
