Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of optimization design and analysis of axial flow compressor blade erosion wear, and particularly relates to an anti-erosion optimization method for axial flow compressor blades in a sand and dust environment. BACKGROUND
[0002] The axial flow compressor is a key component of an aero-engine, and its main function is to compress the incoming air in stages to provide a stable high-pressure air source for the combustion chamber. In actual application, when the engine is in a complex environment such as desert, plateau or arid area, a large number of sand and dust particles will enter the compressor along with the airflow and continuously impact the blade surface. This continuous particle erosion not only causes damage to the blade material, but also can cause the shape of the blade to change, thereby reducing the aerodynamic efficiency and reducing the surge margin, ultimately affecting the service life and reliability of the engine. Therefore, sand and dust erosion has become an important problem restricting the safe service and long-term operation of the axial flow compressor in harsh environments.
[0003] At present, the research paths for the sand and dust erosion problem mainly include experimental methods and traditional numerical simulation. Experiments can directly reflect the performance degradation characteristics of the blade under the action of sand and dust, but they have long test periods, high costs, and are difficult to fully cover different particle size distributions and operating conditions; numerical simulation can reveal the gas-solid two-phase flow and erosion mechanism to some extent, but it generally relies on simplified assumptions and is difficult to accurately reproduce complex unsteady flow fields and nonlinear wear laws. At the same time, the existing optimization process often needs manual repeated modification of parameters and boundary conditions, which is not only inefficient, but also prone to error accumulation, resulting in insufficient reliability of the prediction results.
[0004] With the continuous progress of simulation technology and intelligent optimization algorithms, the overall optimization method based on parameterized modeling and automatic coupling has gradually attracted attention. By integrating geometric modeling, mesh generation, gas-solid coupling calculation and multi-objective optimization in a unified framework, it is expected to achieve rapid evaluation and balance of the aerodynamic performance and anti-erosion ability of the blade in the design stage. However, there is currently a lack of a method that can systematically integrate the above aspects and take into account the engineering adaptability and scalability, making it difficult to meet the actual needs of anti-erosion optimization of compressor blades in a sand and dust environment.
[0005] Therefore, how to construct an overall solution method covering operating condition analysis, modeling simulation, wear prediction and multi-objective optimization to realize systematic evaluation and efficient optimization of the anti-erosion performance of axial flow compressor blades in a sand and dust environment has become a core problem that needs to be solved in this field.

[0030] Embodiment five The key link of the method for optimizing the erosion resistance of an axial flow compressor blade is experimental design. This embodiment describes the experimental design. The specific process of the experimental design is as shown in Figure 5 The specific steps are as follows: Step 1) On the basis of considering the concentration constraint of the wear rate, the blade geometric parameters affecting the optimization target are screened; Step 2) The upper and lower bounds of the candidate variables are set, and the Latin hypercube sampling method is used to generate initial sample points; Step 3) The initial sample points are simulated under the sand dust working condition to obtain the efficiency, flow rate and wear rate concentration, and a multidisciplinary database is established; Step 4) The Pearson correlation analysis method is used to sort the candidate variables to determine the key optimization variables and their ranges, thereby providing data support for subsequent optimization.
[0031] Embodiment six In order to effectively depict the aerodynamic performance and erosion wear response relationship of the axial flow compressor blade in the sand dust environment, this embodiment introduces a data-driven proxy model method to replace the traditional explicit physical modeling. This method realizes efficient characterization of the complex fluid-solid coupling process by constructing an approximate mapping relationship between the input variables and the output target. Among various proxy models, the Kriging method is selected as the main tool for building the compressor multi-objective performance model because it has nonlinear fitting capability, uncertainty quantification characteristics and active learning potential. For the sand dust erosion constraint problem, this embodiment simultaneously establishes a Kriging constraint model of erosion damage, and gradually improves the prediction accuracy through an iterative updating strategy to form an adaptive framework of collaborative updating of the target model and the constraint model, thereby providing reliable support for subsequent multi-objective optimization.

[0032] Embodiment seven To achieve synergistic optimization of aerodynamic performance and erosion resistance of axial compressor blades in a dusty environment, this embodiment embeds the optimization target model and erosion damage constraint model into a constrained multi-objective optimization algorithm, defining efficiency and flow rate as optimization objectives and erosion damage as constraints. Using this optimization method, the Pareto front solution set of the blade design is obtained, and the results are compared and verified with aerodynamic performance simulations. Furthermore, an optimized blade geometry model is generated using a parametric platform, and CFD simulations are used to analyze the erosion differences of key parts such as the blade leading edge and tip before and after optimization, extracting wear data in the blade height direction. Combined with flow field distribution characteristics, the improvement effect on dust accumulation areas is quantitatively analyzed. The overall process is as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the specific steps are as follows: Step 1) Based on the established Kriging model, solve the Pareto solution set using a constrained multi-objective optimization algorithm; Step 2) Construct the following calculation formula to select the final optimization result from the Pareto front:
[0033] In the formula, and This indicates the efficiency and flow rate of the prototype compressor. and To find the efficiency and flow of the midpoint of the Pareto front, calculate the midpoint of the Pareto front. The point with the largest value is the final optimization result; Step 3) Compare the erosion wear distribution of the blades before and after optimization, analyze the erosion pattern with CFD flow field data, and evaluate the wear improvement effect of key parts.
[0034] Example 8 Taking a certain type of axial compressor as an example, this paper further illustrates the application of the erosion resistance optimization method for axial compressor blades in sandy and dusty environments. Figure 8 As shown, the three-dimensional model of this axial compressor consists of inlet guide vanes, first-stage stationary vanes, first-stage moving vanes, second-stage stationary vanes, outlet guide vanes, hub, casing, airflow inlet, airflow outlet, and two rotor-stationary interfaces. The design speed of this axial compressor is... n The design flow rate is 32927 r / min. Q The design pressure is 5.38 kg / s, the design pressure ratio is 1.582, and the design efficiency is... η It is 86%.
[0035] Table 1 shows the fine sand concentration of 53 mg / m³. 3 Particle size distribution.
[0036] Table 1. Fine sand concentration is 53 mg / m³ 3 Particle size distribution
[0037] Table 2 shows the baseline values of the design parameters considered in this example and their variation ranges.
[0038] Table 2 Baseline values and ranges of axial compressor design parameters
[0039] The erosion-resistant optimization design problem of the axial compressor blade can be described by the following formula,
[0040] In the formula, η , Q are the design point efficiency and outlet flow, respectively; E is the allowable average wear rate concentration.
[0041] According to the method, 40 initial sample points are first collected, and are updated for 273 iterations until the model converges. The converged surrogate model is used as the fitness function, and the MOPSO algorithm is called to search the Pareto front in the optimization space. The algorithm parameters are: initial population size 200, Pareto library capacity 100, and iteration number 500. Figure 9 The obtained Pareto front is shown, and the optimal solution is selected therefrom.
[0042] Table 3 shows the key design parameters before and after optimization.
[0043] Table 3 Comparison of parameters of the axial compressor before and after optimization
[0044] Table 4 gives the comparison results of performance parameters before and after optimization. As can be seen from the table, the compressor flow rate is increased from 5.343 kg / s to 5.743 kg / s after optimization, with an increase of 7.49%; the efficiency is increased from 75.23% to 77.06%, with an efficiency increase of 1.83%.
[0045] Table 4 Comparison of performance parameters of the axial compressor before and after optimization
[0046] In order to further analyze the wear characteristics of the axial compressor in the sand dust environment before and after optimization, the wear distribution of the moving blade under the design point working condition is compared. Figure 10The three-dimensional waterfall diagrams of the wear rate concentration of the pressure surface of the moving blade at different blade heights before and after optimization are shown, wherein the horizontal coordinate is the Z-direction (axial direction) coordinate of the blade node, and the smaller the value, the closer to the leading edge of the blade. The results show that the overall erosion rate density of the pressure surface of the moving blade is low except for the local wear of the tip and the trailing edge near the casing, and therefore it is recommended to take measures such as coating to meet the anti-wear design requirements.
[0047] In order to further reveal the formation mechanism of wear near the tip region, the particle average volume fraction of the flow field region at different blade heights is extracted and analyzed, as shown in Figure 11 The results show that the particle average volume fraction gradually increases with the increase of the blade height, indicating that the particles are obviously gathered to the tip of the blade under the action of centrifugal force. At 90% of the blade height, the trajectory of the particles when they first enter the flow field is basically consistent with the inclination angle of the leading edge of the moving blade, resulting in that most of the particles pass above the leading edge, so that the local wear distribution of the leading edge is not significant. The main wear in this region is caused by the direct impact of particles on the pressure surface of the trailing edge. Since this position is in the outlet flow field of the moving blade, a large number of particles do not collide with the suction surface of the adjacent moving blade after being reflected, but directly enter the flow field of the next static blade, so that the trailing edge becomes the concentrated area of the tip wear. This phenomenon fully illustrates that the centrifugal gathering effect and the local flow field structure of the trailing edge jointly cause the erosion wear of the trailing edge region near the tip to be more significant.
[0048] In practical application, this method can organically link the working condition analysis, geometric modeling, gas-solid coupling simulation, data processing and multi-objective optimization in the sand and dust environment, realize the full-process automatic execution from the input condition to the optimization result. Designers only need to set the corresponding parameters to quickly obtain the comparison results of the blade aerodynamic performance and anti-erosion performance under different sand and dust working conditions, so as to conveniently carry out the design and optimization under multiple working conditions. At the same time, this method has intelligent data processing capability and efficient proxy modeling mechanism, which can significantly reduce the calculation cost on the premise of ensuring the prediction accuracy. In addition, by introducing advanced gas-solid two-phase flow numerical method and improved erosion damage prediction model, and combining with the multi-objective optimization strategy with constraints, the aerodynamic efficiency and anti-erosion ability of the blade are improved, and the reliability and engineering applicability of the optimization result are ensured.
[0049] Finally, it should be noted that: the above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing examples, or make equivalent replacement for part of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
