Numerical investigation of flow mechanisms of tandem impeller inside a centrifugal compressor

This study numerically investigated a single stage centrifugal compressor ‘‘Radiver’’ with a wedge diffuser and several tandem-designed impellers to explore the flow phenomena within the tandem impeller and the potential to enhance compressor performance. The results demonstrate that tandem design and clocking fraction (λ_s) significantly affects the compressor performance. The compressor stage with tandem impellers of Series A of boundary layer growth interruption alone are observed to have a widely operating range but efficiency and total pressure ratio penalty compared with that of conventional impeller. The tandem impeller with at least the same impeller efficiency as the conventional design is considered as a critical design criteria so that further modification process based on the flow characteristic of tandem impeller is necessary. In order to restrain the inducer wake and exducer shock losses, parameters modification of blade angle and thickness distributions are necessary and the modified tandem impeller of Series B is obtained. The modified tandem impeller with 25% clocking arrangement shows an 8.45% stall margin increase and maintains the total pressure ratio and efficiency as the conventional design, which proves the potential of tandem impeller to improve compressor stage performance. It is noteworthy that the tandem impellers of Radiver have not shown obviously balanced exit flow field and the fundamental mechanism of stall margin extending of tandem impeller lies on the improved impeller/diffuser matching performance resulting from the incidence angle variation at diffuser inlet.     

对转涡轮基本分析

对于对转涡轮基元级的特性,首先分析不同基元级的负荷特性应以单位叶列平均的负荷能力为准。其次,模拟常规级的经典分析,讨论了对转涡轮基元级的自变变量及定义了不同类型的典型对转涡轮基元级,按此可以很简明地得出它们在不同转速比下的负荷特性。同时,还初步比较了对转级与常规级的基元级效率。由此可见,对转涡轮的单位叶列负荷系数可比常规级有成倍的增长而且有更高的效率。     

固体运载火箭级间热分离仿真气体模型研究

目前,计算流体力学和飞行力学耦合仿真是模拟运载火箭级间分离较为流行的方法,而发动机内外流动建模则是运用该方法的关键。工程上,常用的方法是将发动机燃气与外部大气当作同一种气体组分处理,未考虑内外流动的多组分与燃烧效应。分析了化学非平衡流模型、双组分气体模型和常规单组分气体模型在火箭级间热分离流场计算中的适用性。化学非平衡流模型由于过高的计算消耗,不适用于火箭研制工程中大规模的参数化研究。而热化学等级较低的双组分气体和单组分气体模型由于计算量较低,具有较好的工程适用性。双组分气体模型计入了火箭燃气的特性,计算消耗远低于化学非平衡计算,且能够较好地预测火箭级间段的流动分离,在计算效率和计算保真度之间做出了较好的平衡,未来在工程研究中有较大的应用潜力。

进口导叶形式对核心机驱动风扇级的影响

以某变循环发动机(VCE)所用核心机驱动风扇级(CDFS)为研究模型,数值模拟了CDFS在真实边界环境下的流动特性,分析了单/双涵道工作模式下,不同形式的可调进口导叶(IGV)对CDFS流动特性及性能的影响机理。结果表明:不同工作模式时,CDFS靠导叶角度的开闭实现大范围的流量调节。单涵道(SB)工作模式时,不同形式的可调进口导叶(VIGV)对CDFS性能的影响差异很小;双涵道(DB)工作模式时采用常规可调导叶(CIGV)会在其吸力面产生较大的流场分离,且流通能力和流量调节范围大大降低。可变弯度导叶通过可转动部分的开闭实现CDFS对流量调节的需求;通过固定部分保证CDFS导叶进口气流攻角基本不变,同时在固定部分和可转动部分连接处所形成的收缩通道的加速效应显著抑制了导叶吸力面的流动分离。可变弯度导叶是适用于CDFS在不同工作模式下性能参数及流量调节需求的可调导叶的形式。

Cost Engineering – The new paradigm for space launch vehicle design

The paper describes the basic definition and application of 'Cost Engineering' which means to design a vehicle system for minimum development cost and/or for minimum operations cost. This is important now and for the future since space transportation has become primarily a commercial business in contrast to the past where it has been mainly a subject of military power and national prestige. Several examples are presented for minimum-cost space launch vehicle configurations, such as increasing vehicle size and/or the use of less efficient rocket engines in order to reduce development and operations cost. Further a cost comparison is presented on single-stage (SSTO)-vehicles vs. two-stage launchers which shows that SSTOs have lower development and operations cost although they are larger, respectively have a higher lift-off mass than two-stage vehicles with the same performance. The design of a space tourism-dedicated launch vehicle is an extreme challenge for a cost-engineered vehicle design in order to achieve cost per seat not higher than $50,000. Finally an outlook is presented on the different options for manned Earth-to-Moon transportation modes and vehicles – another most important application of 'cost engineering', taking into account the large cost of such a future venture.
