Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of heat transfer analysis technology for double-walled edge plates of aero-engine turbine guide vanes, specifically relating to a heat transfer analysis method for double-walled edge plates of aero-engine turbine guide vanes. Background Technology
[0002] When an aero-engine is operating, the turbine guide vanes are directly subjected to the uneven high-temperature field at the combustion chamber outlet, and their rims are at extremely high risk of being burned.
[0003] To prevent the turbine guide vane rim from burning out, a double-walled structure is designed, forming a cavity between the outer and inner walls. Multiple impact holes are distributed on the outer wall, and multiple film cooling holes are distributed on the inner wall. Multiple flow-deflecting columns are installed within the cavity, each supported between the outer and inner walls. The outer and inner walls have perforations for the guide vane tip to insert into. During engine operation, cooling gas enters the cavity through the impact holes for impact cooling. After being turbulent by the flow-deflecting columns, the cooling gas exits through the film cooling holes, forming a film cooling system that ultimately mixes with the main combustion gas. This design provides highly efficient cooling and protection for the rim, effectively preventing rim burning.
[0004] The turbine guide vane double-walled edge plate integrates multiple cooling methods such as impingement jet, turbulence column flow, and film cooling. Its fluid flow and heat transfer relationship are complex. Accurately obtaining the three-dimensional temperature distribution of the edge plate and optimizing the temperature field uniformity is of great guiding significance for the design and improvement of the edge plate.
[0005] Currently, the three-dimensional temperature distribution of the blades is mostly obtained through special test runs of the double-walled blades of aero-engine turbines. This technical solution is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and due to space limitations, the temperature test points are limited to the sides of the gas inlet and outlet, and the number is limited. Especially for cases with a small number of guide vanes, low-consistency, long-chord blades, and uneven flow heat transfer distribution on the surface of the blades, it is difficult to accurately obtain the three-dimensional temperature distribution of the blades.
[0006] This application is made in view of the aforementioned technical deficiencies.

[0035] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 5 This application will be described in further detail.
[0036] When analyzing the heat transfer of the double-walled rim plate of an aero-engine turbine guide vane, it is necessary to understand the flow characteristics within the rim plate. The rim plate structure has the following unique properties:
[0037] a) The interlayer cavity is a large through-hole cooling chamber. The cooling gas flows out from the impact hole and impacts the gas film hole surface. It flows freely in the interlayer cavity. The flow state of the cooling gas depends entirely on the relative back pressure at the outlet of each exhaust film hole. From this perspective, the fluid flow in the interlayer cavity can be regarded as unrestrained and uncontrolled.
[0038] b) Back pressure distribution of the main combustion gas flow channel at the outlet of the gas film holes at various positions on the flange, that is, the pressure and temperature distribution of the main combustion fluid on the flange flow channel surface;
[0039] c) The overall profile of the rim plate is close to a slender rhombus, and the rim plate of the guide vane with large chord length and low density is even more slender;
[0040] The unique structure of the double-layered rim plate of the turbine guide vane of an aero-engine results in extremely drastic pressure changes within the rim plate channels, allowing for calculation and partitioning of the rim plate based on these pressure variations.
[0041] Pressure characteristic curve inside the flange, such as Figure 2 As shown, the calculation regions are divided into multiple regions based on the isobaric gradient. The calculation regions are the basis of the calculation and directly determine the accuracy of the temperature field calculation. They can be divided into the blade back calculation region, blade basin calculation region, leading edge calculation region, and trailing edge calculation region.
[0042] Without compromising the accuracy of engineering calculations, the film cooling holes within each calculation region are grouped and combined into film cooling hole units. The boundary of the film cooling holes in the central region of the combination represents the outflow boundary of the combined holes. Furthermore, the impinging holes within these units are combined into impinging hole units, and the turbulence columns are combined into turbulence column units. This significantly reduces computational costs. The rationality of the film cooling hole combination directly affects the accuracy of the rim cooling air consumption calculation. See details... Figure 3 .
[0043] For the blade back calculation region, the pressure variation at the outlet of the film air vents on the blade back is large in the chord region. The blade back calculation region can be refined into three heat transfer characteristic zones: SB1, SB2, and SB3. Each zone is characterized by a large pressure variation gradient along the normal of the blade-shaped vents. The film air vents are grouped in the direction perpendicular to the wall.
[0044] For the leaf-pot calculation region SP1, the isobars are almost perpendicular to the leaf-shaped aperture normal, and the air film apertures are grouped along the chord direction.
[0045] For the leading edge calculation region, judging from the pressure distribution cloud map inside the blade, it is a high-pressure zone. The air film pores with the same back pressure are divided into a region, and the corresponding heat transfer and impact heat transfer regions of the turbulence column region are defined accordingly. Specifically, it can be subdivided into the leading edge blade back calculation region SQB, the leading edge blade basin calculation region SQP, and the positive leading edge calculation region SQ.
[0046] For the SQB calculation region on the back of the blade, the pressure change in the flow channel is most drastic due to airflow disturbance. When grouping and merging the air film in this region, the outflow area of the outlet orifice unit must be on the same order of magnitude, and the outlet back pressure must also be on the same order of magnitude. This region occupies one diagonal of the rhomboid flange, making the heat transfer in this partition extremely irregular. When extracting the columnar geometric characteristic parameters for calculating the heat transfer characteristics, it is necessary to consider converting them into corresponding regular columnar characteristic parameters.
[0047] For the leading edge leaf basin calculation region SQP, the pressure change is gentler than that of the leaf back calculation region SQB, and the corresponding solid area is larger. The isobars are perpendicular to the leaf shape aperture normal and there are more air film pores in the direction perpendicular to the wall. The air film pores are grouped along the chord direction.
[0048] For the positive leading edge calculation region SQ, the pressure is very high, and the film pores in this region can be merged.
[0049] For the trailing edge calculation region, it can be refined into four heat transfer characteristic zones: SWP, SW1, SW2, and SW3. The characteristic parameters extracted from the heat transfer in the turbulence column region within SW3 are along the wall normal. The pressure changes drastically and include an extremely low pressure region in the area from the middle chord of the guide vane back to the trailing edge outlet. The isopressure distribution curves are almost parallel to the contour lines at other locations in the channel, but here they are closed vortex lines. The characteristic parameters of the other three heat transfer characteristic zones, SWP, SW1, and SW2, are extracted along the chord direction.
[0050] Based on the aero-engine air system calculation program, and by comparing with the air system calculation module database, drag elements and flow heat transfer elements that closely approximate real flow are extracted.
[0051] Based on the aero-engine air system calculation program, and comparing it with the air system calculation module database, drag and heat transfer elements that closely resemble real flow are selected. For the film atomizer elements, impingement atomizer elements, and turbulence column elements in each calculation region, a one-dimensional flow and heat transfer calculation network is obtained by fitting drag and heat transfer elements in series. This simplifies the complex three-dimensional flow of the rim plate into a one-dimensional network topology, such as... Figure 4 As shown.
[0052] The extracted resistance elements and heat exchange elements include:
[0053] The T13 element has an array-type circular jet impacting flat wall loss for heat exchange, which is used to model the impact heat transfer.
[0054] The T01 element is a throttling orifice that does not consider flow losses and heat transfer, used to model the gas film outflow.
[0055] The T08 element features a rectangular channel with the combined effects of transverse ribs and turbulence pillars, used to model turbulent flow.
[0056] While transforming three-dimensional flow into one-dimensional flow, the process eliminates factors irrelevant to heat transfer calculations, ensuring that the simplified process retains the characteristic parameters of the double-walled edge plate, including impact, turbulence, and film outflow.
[0057] Based on a one-dimensional network, a refined flow and heat transfer analysis based on the isobars of the flange is carried out. Aerodynamic boundary parameters, heat transfer coefficient and temperature of the gas-fuel side of the flange, resistance elements, geometric parameters required by heat transfer elements, cooling gas supply pressure and temperature, and the back pressure of the gas film orifice outflow are the combined outflow pressure of the gas film orifice in each zone. Finally, the cooling air consumption of the flange, the heat transfer coefficient of the internal cooling heat transfer surface, and the heat transfer temperature are obtained.
[0058] The rim plate is meshed into a solid model in three dimensions, such as... Figure 5 The mesh cells are partitioned as shown, corresponding to each computational region. The heat transfer coefficient and temperature of the third type of boundary condition are assigned to the heat transfer surface corresponding to each partition. Based on the thermal analysis module of ANSYS analysis software, the rim plate is calculated to obtain the three-dimensional temperature field of the rim plate.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of protection of this application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of this application, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the scope of protection of this application.
