Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a gas turbine design method, in particular, a compressor design method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Three-rotor gas turbines are widely used in the fields of ship power, ocean engineering and industrial driving due to wide application scenarios and strong stable operation ability under variable working conditions. In the overall layout of the three-rotor gas turbine, the high-pressure compressor has a complex inflow environment due to the influence of the upstream transition section and other real structures, and the aerodynamic design is extremely difficult, which has become a difficult problem in gas turbine design. The transition section is a connecting component between the low-pressure and high-pressure compressors in the entire compression system, and the internal flow is affected by structural constraints, having typical pipe flow resistance characteristics. The non-uniform inlet caused by the transition section flow structure and the pressure loss will directly affect the performance of the high-pressure compressor. How to design a high-pressure compressor with excellent performance under the above influences is directly related to the performance level of the entire gas turbine compression system, and is a core technical link in the aerodynamic design system of the compressor. It is urgent to explore new design concepts and methods to solve the performance degradation problem of the high-pressure compressor caused by the transition section flow structure, so as to improve the performance indicators of the gas turbine compressor component.
