Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a gas turbine internal flow field testing probe, specifically a shell-shaped four-hole pressure probe, which is suitable for measuring transonic three-dimensional flow field parameters such as total pressure, static pressure, deflection angle, pitch angle, and Mach number between gas turbine and compressor stages. Background Technology

[0002] Reliable flow field measurements of turbine and compressor blades are crucial for validating the numerical design process of gas turbines. Transonic turbine characteristics are a focus of many research projects, aiming to investigate the performance improvements resulting from increased turbine rotor speeds in applications. A major challenge in using porous aerodynamic probes for measurements inside gas turbines is that shock waves are generated in front of the probe in transonic flow fields with Mach numbers close to 1. The flow behind these shock waves is subsonic, leading to a deviation between the pressure measured at the pressure orifice and the actual pressure in the flow field. This reduces the probe's sensitivity to Mach number changes, making it difficult to obtain accurate three-dimensional flow field information. Summary of the Invention

This probe has excellent performance, can reduce the blocking effect of probe measurement, reduce the influence of shock waves on pressure measurement, and realize the measurement of flow field angles over a large range.

[0008] The middle hole and the lower hole are located on the arc where the fan surfaces of the two shells meet. The central axis of the hole outlet is in the same direction as the normal to the arc. The angle between the lower hole and the middle hole is 35° to 39°.

[0009] Furthermore, the central axis of the middle hole pressure guiding channel and the lower hole pressure guiding channel is located in the YZ plane, the diameter of the middle hole and the lower hole pressure tapping hole is 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm, and the diameter of the pressure guiding channel is 0.2 mm to 0.4 mm.
