Influence of sub boundary layer vortex generator height and attack angle on cross-flows in the hub region of compressors

It has been recently shown that Sub Boundary layer Vortex Generator (SBVG, abbreviated as VG hereafter) can suppress the Cross-Flow (CF), and therefore, can eliminate corner separation and increase aerodynamic loading when installed on the end wall inside middle-load compressor passages. However, when VGs are applied in high-load compressors, it is difficult to achieve ideal results. This is because the definition of the VG attack angle in the presence of CF in existing research is confusing, and the stronger CF in high-load compressors worsens the problem and results in an improper design and optimization range of VG attack angle. Therefore, this paper clarifies the definition of the VG attack angle in the presence of CF and reveals the CF controlling mechanism of VG on a flat plate. The differences in the flow phenomena around a VG both with and without CF are also studied. The numerical results show that a larger height or attack angle of the VG generates a greater CF suppression effect. However, the cross velocity increases when surmounting the primary vortex induced by the VG, except that this enhanced CF is less conspicuous for larger VG heights. Compared to the cases without CF, the VG suffers an additional loss because of the stronger separation and primary vortex loss caused by the CF.

Higher-order vibration of thick composite and sandwich plates based on an alternative higher-order model

The transverse stretching vibration of thick sandwich plates, which is attributed to largely different stiffness at the adjacent layers, is a challenging issue, and efficient approach for such issue is less reported in the published literature. Thus, natural frequencies corresponding to stretching vibration modes are generally neglected in engineering design, which might impact structural safety as frequencies of the exciting force are close to transverse stretching vibration frequencies. This paper proposes an alternative higher-order model for dynamic analysis corresponding to the higher-order vibration modes. The proposed model is classified in the displacement-based equivalent single-layer theory, as the number of displacement parameters in the proposed model is independent of the layer number. The continuity of displacements and transverse shear stresses can be fulfilled at the interfaces between the adjacent layers of structures. To demonstrate the capability of the proposed model, typical examples are analyzed by utilizing the proposed model, the three-dimensional finite element method and the chosen higher-order models. By comparing with the exact three-dimensional elasticity solutions, it is found that the proposed model can yield more accurate natural frequencies corresponding to the higher-order displacement modes than the selected models. Moreover, the factors influencing reasonable prediction of the higher-order frequencies are investigated in detail, which can provide a reference for the accurate prediction of the higher-order frequencies.

高马赫数V字形钝化前缘平板表面压力特性

针对三维内转式进气道V字形唇口下游面临的严酷压力载荷问题，将唇口简化为V字形钝化前缘平板，在来流马赫数为6的条件下，采用数值模拟结合激波风洞压敏涂料测量方法，研究了半径比R/r = 0 ~ 20（V字形根部倒圆半径R与前缘钝化半径r之比）的平板表面压力演化特性。结果表明，随着R/r增大，V字形钝化前缘产生的三维波系结构发生变化，引起下游平板表面压力演变出4种类型。R/r较小时，V字形钝化前缘激波干扰产生的大范围流动分离，诱导形成了偏离中心线较远的分叉状高压区（Type Ⅰ，分叉型）；随着R/r增大，流动分离减弱，分叉状高压区逐渐消失，由透射激波扫掠壁面所形成的条带状高压和超声速射流对撞所形成的中心线高压区逐渐显露，依次出现过渡型（Type Ⅱ）、严酷型（Type Ⅲ）和渐匀型（Type Ⅳ）压力分布。平板上分叉型和过渡型的压力最大值仅为4.3 ~ 7.2p∞（p∞为来流静压），但V字形钝化前缘处的流场品质恶劣；严酷型的压力最大值，随着射流对撞强度的增强而增大，最高可达19p∞；渐匀型的压力最大值，随着射流对撞强度的减弱，逐渐趋近于二维钝前缘平板产生的压力最大值4p∞。
