Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of gas turbine design, and in particular relates to a cooling structure design method of a guide vane blade body with a circular micro-tube array. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous improvement of gas turbine performance indicators and the continuous expansion of their operating boundaries, the turbine inlet temperature continues to increase, which puts higher requirements on the temperature resistance grade of turbine blade materials and cooling structure design for long-term continuous operation under high load conditions.
[0003] During the operation of existing engines and the development of new engines, there are areas in turbine blades that are difficult to cool, especially the end walls and blade tops with relatively small dimensions and relatively complex flows, which are prone to forming cooling "blind spots" or even "dead spots". The metal temperatures at these locations are close to the heat resistance limit of the blade alloy. Similar phenomena have also been reported by foreign researchers when conducting gas turbine design and testing. The surface temperature distribution of turbine blades obtained by transient liquid crystal measurement and numerical calculation by Siemens and other companies shows that obvious local high-temperature areas appear at the blade body, end wall and blade top. These local high-temperature areas that are difficult to cool can easily cause local ablation of turbine blades, which brings great difficulties to the cooling design of turbine blades. In addition, with the expansion of the engine use environment and the improvement of performance requirements, the turbine inlet temperature continues to increase, further increasing the design difficulty of the turbine blade cooling structure.
[0004] Therefore, when traditional large-scale cooling structures are unable to meet the cooling needs of "blind spots" and "dead spots", innovating and developing efficient cooling structures for turbine blades can further improve the cooling effect without increasing the amount of cold air used, which has important scientific significance and practical value for the development of advanced high-performance gas turbine engines.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present invention, based on the specific position of the turbine guide vane blade that needs enhanced cooling, according to the thin and slender structural characteristics of the turbine guide vane blade, combined with at least the size parameters of the turbine guide vane blade wall thickness, the leading edge air film structure, and the trailing edge exhaust structure, the turbine guide vane blade with circular micro-tube array cooling structure parameters is given; wherein, in the root section, the distance H from the position of each circular micro-tube along the blade body wall thickness midline direction to the leading edge point of the blade body wall thickness midline h,i 、Each circular microtube diameter φ h,i 、Circular microtube spacing L h,i , the number of circular microtubes N; in the top section, the distance from the position of each circular microtube along the midline of the blade thickness to the leading edge point of the midline of the blade thickness H t,i 、Each circular microtube diameter φ t,i 、Circular microtube spacing L t,i , the number of circular microtubules N.
[0047] S104, constructing an overall three-dimensional model of a turbine guide vane with a circular micro-tube array cooling structure, and inferring the reduction in cooling air for the turbine guide vane blade body and the amount of cooling air for the turbine guide vane blade body with the circular micro-tube array cooling structure.
[0048] In an embodiment of the present invention, based on a three-dimensional model of a turbine guide vane with a cooling structure on a blade body (without a circular micro-tube array cooling structure), using given circular micro-tube array cooling structure parameters of a turbine guide vane blade body, a three-dimensional modeling tool is adopted to mix the circular micro-tube arrays of the root section and the top section, and a circular micro-tube row is constructed on the turbine guide vane blade body to obtain an overall three-dimensional model of the turbine guide vane with a circular micro-tube array cooling structure; according to the given circular micro-tube array cooling structure parameters of the turbine guide vane blade body, the heat exchange cooling effect is evaluated, and based on this, the reduction in cooling air of the turbine guide vane blade body and the amount of cooling air used for the turbine guide vane blade body with the circular micro-tube array cooling structure are preliminarily inferred.
[0049] S105. Based on the overall three-dimensional model of the turbine guide vane with a circular micro-tube array cooling structure, the fluid domain and solid domain grids required for full three-dimensional calculations are divided, and full three-dimensional fluid-thermal coupling calculation and analysis are carried out to obtain the temperature field distribution and temperature data of the guide vane blade body.
[0050] According to the given cooling air reduction and combined with the other inlet and outlet boundary conditions of the turbine guide vane, the constructed overall three-dimensional model of the turbine guide vane with a circular micro-tube array cooling structure is imported into the meshing program to divide the fluid domain and solid domain meshes required for the full three-dimensional calculation. Then, the full three-dimensional fluid-thermal coupling calculation and analysis program is used to carry out the full three-dimensional fluid-thermal coupling calculation and analysis of the turbine guide vane blade body, and the temperature field distribution and temperature data of the turbine guide vane blade body are obtained.
[0051] The temperature field distribution and temperature data of the turbine guide vane blade body are compared and analyzed with the temperature field distribution and data information of the guide vane blade body. If the obtained temperature parameters of the turbine guide vane blade body meet the predetermined temperature standard, S106 is executed; otherwise, the circular microtube array cooling structure parameters are adjusted by at least increasing the number of microtube rows or increasing the diameter of the microtubes, and S104 to S105 are repeatedly executed until the temperature parameters of the turbine guide vane blade body reach the predetermined temperature standard.
[0052] Wherein, the predetermined temperature standard includes:
[0053] If the maximum temperature of the turbine guide vane blade body is higher than the temperature resistance grade of the metal material used, the predetermined temperature standard is: the maximum temperature of the turbine guide vane blade body is lower than the temperature resistance grade of the metal material used;
[0054] If the maximum temperature of the turbine guide vane blade body is lower than the temperature resistance grade of the metal material used, the predetermined temperature standard is: the maximum temperature of the turbine guide vane blade body is reduced by not less than 20°C.
[0055] S106. Determine the amount of thinning of the turbine guide vane blade body based on the ratio of the cooling air reduction amount to the original given cooling air usage amount.
[0056] In the embodiment of the present invention, based on the ratio of the determined cooling air reduction amount to the original given cooling air usage, this ratio is the reduction ratio of the cooling channel area inside the turbine guide vane blade body. According to this ratio, on the basis of the original turbine guide vane blade body internal cooling channel, a new turbine guide vane blade body internal cooling channel is obtained by reducing the original turbine guide vane blade body internal cooling channel, keeping the guide vane blade body wall thickness unchanged, and the guide vane blade body wall thickness is offset outward in the new turbine guide vane blade body internal cooling channel to obtain the blade body external thickness after adjusting the internal cooling channel. The difference between the blade body external thickness after adjusting the internal cooling channel and the thickness before adjustment is the blade body external thinning amount.
[0057] S107. Based on the reduction ratio of the cooling channel area inside the turbine guide vane blade body and the outer thickness of the blade body, the cooling structure of the turbine guide vane blade body is reconstructed, and a three-dimensional model of the turbine guide vane blade body and the cooling channel after the blade shape is adjusted is established using a three-dimensional modeling tool.
[0058] In an embodiment of the present invention, based on the constructed guide vane blade cooling structure, the turbine guide vane blade cooling structure is reconstructed according to the determined reduction ratio of the internal cooling channel area of the turbine guide vane blade and the blade body outer thickness, and a three-dimensional modeling tool is used to establish a three-dimensional model of the turbine guide vane blade and cooling channel after adjusting the blade shape.
[0059] S108. According to the three-dimensional model of the turbine guide vane body after the blade shape is adjusted and the reduction ratio of the cooling channel area inside the guide vane body, adjust the position of the root section and the top section micro-circular tubes, the diameter of each circular micro-tube, the diameter of each circular micro-tube, the spacing between the circular micro-tubes and the number of the circular micro-tubes.
[0060] S109. Construct an overall three-dimensional model of the turbine guide vane with a circular micro-tube array cooling structure after the blade body is thinned, perform full three-dimensional heat-flow coupling calculation and analysis on the turbine guide vane blade body, and obtain the temperature field distribution and temperature data of the guide vane blade body; if the temperature parameters of the turbine guide vane blade body meet the predetermined temperature standard, the design process ends; otherwise, adjust the thinning amount of the turbine guide vane blade body and the parameters of the circular micro-tube array cooling structure, and repeat S106 to S108 until the temperature parameters of the turbine guide vane blade body reach the predetermined standard.
[0061] In an embodiment of the present invention, according to a given cooling air consumption and in combination with other inlet and outlet boundary conditions of the turbine guide vane, the constructed overall three-dimensional model of the turbine guide vane with a circular micro-tube array cooling structure after the blade body is thinned is imported into a meshing program, and the fluid domain and solid domain meshes required for the full three-dimensional calculation are divided. Then, the full three-dimensional fluid-thermal coupling calculation and analysis program is used to carry out the full three-dimensional fluid-thermal coupling calculation and analysis of the turbine guide vane blade body, and the temperature field distribution and temperature data of the guide vane blade body are obtained.
[0062] In one embodiment of the present invention, the circular micro-tube array cooling structure is used for cooling, and the diameter of the circular tube is between 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm. The micro-tube array structure can increase the heat exchange area of the cooling channel and increase the convective heat transfer coefficient; at the same time, it cooperates with the leading edge film cooling of the turbine guide vane blade body to achieve full coverage of the high-pressure turbine guide vane blade body cooling and meet the blade body cooling requirements.
[0063] In yet another embodiment of the present invention, the circular micro-tube array cooling structure is arranged inside the metal wall of the blade body to reduce the thickness of the guide vane blade body profile.
[0064] The circular micro-tube array cooling structure is arranged inside the metal wall of the blade body, which realizes one-time efficient cooling of the blade body. The cooling demand inside the blade body will be reduced, and the original internal cooling cavity can be reduced, that is, the thickness of the blade body profile can be thinned, which is not only beneficial to improving the aerodynamic performance of the guide vane, but also can reduce the heated area of the blade body, which is beneficial to further reduce the cooling demand and comprehensively reduce the cooling air consumption.
[0065] In another embodiment of the present invention, the circular micro-tube array cooling structure is distributed all over the guide vane blade except the leading edge, thereby achieving full coverage of the cooling of the high-pressure turbine guide vane blade, so that the temperature of the turbine guide vane blade is evenly distributed.
[0066] The circular micro-tube array cooling structure is used for cooling. It covers the rest of the blade except the leading edge through the smaller micro-tube array. It can not only achieve full coverage of the cooling of the high-pressure turbine guide vane blade, but also make the temperature distribution of the blade more uniform. The problem of uneven temperature causing large thermal stress due to traditional blade film plus convection cooling will no longer exist.
[0067] The circular micro-tube array cooling structure cooling fully utilizes the advantages of excellent cooling effect and large heat exchange area of the micro-tube array, and cooperates with the internal cavity convection heat exchange to meet the cooling requirements of the blade body. Therefore, the air film cooling of the middle and rear parts of the blade grid can be eliminated. The circular micro-tube array cooling of the turbine guide vane blade body can reduce the diameter of the micro-tube array circular tube and deliver the cooling air to any position of the guide vane blade body, thereby realizing the precise customized delivery of the blade body cooling requirements, and can cool the high temperature area of the blade body in a targeted manner.
[0068] In the embodiment of the present invention, the circular micro-tube array cooling of the turbine guide vane blade body can realize the parametric design of the circular micro-tube array cooling of the guide vane blade body through only a small number of parameters, which is conducive to rapid optimization and adjustment to obtain the best cooling solution. The circular micro-tube array cooling of the turbine guide vane blade body cancels the film hole cooling structure of the guide vane blade body part, which is conducive to reducing the influence of the blade body film cooling on the mainstream, reducing mixing losses, and improving turbine efficiency.
[0069] The circular micro-tube array cooling of the turbine guide vane blade makes full use of the excellent cooling effect of the circular micro-tube array structure, reduces the amount of cooling air used for the blade body, and is beneficial to improving the performance of the turbine and the entire gas turbine unit and improving the unit efficiency. Among them, the circular micro-tube array cooling of the turbine guide vane blade body, the thickness of the guide vane blade body is thinned, and the cooling tube array channel is arranged inside the blade wall thickness, which can reduce the weight of the guide vane by about 8%.
[0070] The circular micro-tube array cooling design method for the guide vane blade body proposed in the present invention is universal and is not limited to the design of high-pressure turbine guide vanes of gas turbines, but is also applicable to the design of high-pressure turbine guide vanes of aircraft engines.
[0071] In another embodiment of the present invention, the computational domain three-dimensional modeling software adopts UG NX software, the full three-dimensional fluid-heat coupling calculation and analysis software adopts CFX and Fluent software, and the meshing adopts ICEM CFD software.
[0072] In the embodiment of the present invention, on the basis of making full use of the full three-dimensional fluid-heat coupling calculation method of the conventional turbine guide vane, according to the structural characteristics of the high-pressure turbine guide vane blade body of the gas turbine, focusing on the high-temperature area of the high-pressure turbine guide vane blade body, the guide vane blade body cooling structure design and temperature field calculation process are reorganized, and a circular micro-tube array cooling design method suitable for the high-pressure turbine guide vane blade body of the gas turbine is proposed. An efficient cooling structure design method for the high-pressure turbine guide vane blade body is obtained, which solves the problem that the high-pressure turbine guide vane blade body of the gas turbine is difficult to cool.
[0073] Through the use of micro-tube arrays with smaller diameters (0.3mm to 0.5mm), the heat exchange area and convection heat transfer coefficient of the cooling channel are multiplied, thereby achieving super cooling of the blade body. Not only can full coverage of high-pressure turbine guide vane cooling be achieved, but also the cooling requirements of the blade body can be fully met. Therefore, the problem of "blind spots" and "dead spots" that are difficult to cool due to the limitations of the spatial structure of traditional air film and large-scale cooling can be effectively solved, and the problem of overheating and even ablation of the blade body can be effectively solved. The cooling air is delivered to any position of the guide vane blade body through a small-scale circular micro-tube array cooling structure, thereby achieving precise customized delivery of the cooling requirements of the blade body, so that the high-temperature area of the blade body can be cooled in a targeted manner, meeting the local cooling requirements of the guide vane blade body.
[0074] The technical solution of the present invention can give full play to the better cooling effect of the micro-tube array, cancel the film hole cooling structure in the middle and rear sections of the guide vane blade, thereby reducing the influence of the blade film cooling on the mainstream, which is beneficial to reducing the cold and hot mixing loss of the turbine guide vane blade and improving the turbine efficiency. By making full use of the excellent cooling effect of the circular micro-tube array structure, the amount of cooling air for the blade can be reduced, which is beneficial to improving the performance of the turbine and the entire gas turbine unit and improving the unit efficiency. The designed guide vane blade line is thin, and a micro-pipeline is arranged inside the wall thickness, which is beneficial to reducing the weight of the guide vane and improving the power-to-weight ratio of the engine.
[0075] The above are preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
