Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of turbine engines, and in particular, to a method and device for simulating parameters of a cooling air system of a single-rotor gas turbine engine. Background Art

[0002] In the overall performance calculation of a gas turbine engine, whether it is the design point calculation or the off-design point calculation, it is necessary to first determine the cooling air system parameters (mainly the cooling air quantity and the cooling air distribution ratio). Therefore, the accuracy of the cooling air system parameters directly affects the rationality and accuracy of the overall performance calculation of the engine. Especially for engines with high thermal cycle parameters, since the proportion of the cooling air quantity in the core flow can reach the order of 25%, the influence of the cooling air system parameters of the high thermal cycle parameter engine on the overall performance calculation of the engine far exceeds that of the low thermal cycle parameter engine. At present, the cooling air parameters of a gas turbine engine need to be obtained through multiple rounds of iterative calculations of the overall performance, components, and air system. And due to the lack of actual measured data support from the full-scale test, it cannot truly reflect the actual working conditions of the cooling air system of the gas turbine engine. In addition, due to the complexity of the cooling air system of the gas turbine engine, it is currently impossible to directly measure the cooling air quantity and the cooling air distribution ratio in the full-scale test, that is, it is impossible to directly verify whether the cooling air quantity and the cooling air distribution ratio in the overall performance scheme are reasonable and accurate through tests.
