Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of gas engine turbine blades, and in particular relates to a method for optimizing geometrical parameters of air film holes of turbine blades with low cooling efficiency and attenuation. Background Art

[0002] In order to meet the performance requirements of higher thrust-to-weight ratio of aircraft engines, the temperature of the gas before the turbine continues to increase, and the blades are subjected to extremely high heat loads, and it is urgent to arrange effective film cooling on the blade surface for thermal protection.

[0003] At present, the optimization goal of the optimal layout of the geometric characteristic parameters of the blade film hole is often to achieve better coverage and cooling performance. Domestic and foreign researchers have conducted a lot of research on this goal. However, in the processing and manufacturing of blades, there are inevitably aperture deviations, position deviations, inclination deviations, etc.; when applying the coating, different differences will occur due to different sequences. For example, drilling first and then spraying the coating often leads to local blockage of the film hole, and spraying the coating first and then drilling often leads to curling of the coating at the hole mouth, and even the risk of coating shedding; after the blade has been in service for a period of time, the morphology near the hole mouth may change due to the deposition of carbon black particles that are not fully burned in the inhaled sand or high-temperature combustion gas. The above phenomena will cause the cooling effect of the blade in actual work to be lower than the original design state expectation, and it is difficult to support the long-term reliable operation of the blade. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the impact of the above phenomena in the early design, take the blade design cooling effect and cooling effect attenuation as the comprehensive optimization goals, balance the constraint relationship between the two, and support the further optimization design of the low-attenuation film hole structure of the blade.

[0041] Embodiment 1

[0042] The present invention aims to address the deficiencies in the prior art and proposes a method for optimizing the geometric parameters of air film holes in turbine blades with low cooling efficiency and attenuation. The method can, under the premise of relatively little calculation, comprehensively consider the effects of geometric feature deviations of blades in manufacturing, coating spraying and service environments, accurately predict the cooling efficiency attenuation and optimize the layout in a targeted manner from the front end of the design, effectively solve the problem of the cooling efficiency of the blades not meeting expectations during actual use, reduce the risk of ablation occurring during the operation of the blades, and improve the cooling margin of the blades.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for optimizing the geometric parameters of the air film holes of turbine blades with low cooling efficiency and attenuation, which is further described by taking the optimization design of the air film holes at the leading edge of the high-pressure turbine rotor blade as an example. Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0044] Step 1: Based on data statistics, the corresponding relationship between the geometric characteristic parameters of the air film holes in the blade design state and the attenuation state is established, which is specifically divided into the following steps:

[0045] Step 1-1: Based on the statistical analysis of the parameters of the air film hole diameter, flow direction inclination angle, and span direction inclination angle at each stage, the parameter variation law of each stage is obtained, such as Figure 4 As shown, the analysis shows that the processing deviation of each parameter is an absolute deviation, such as Figure 5 The coatings shown are sprayed and Figure 6 The service environment has a certain functional relationship with the deviation of the air film hole diameter.

[0046] Step 1-2: Connect each stage in series, give the geometric characteristic parameter values ​​of the design state, and obtain the parameter values ​​of the final attenuation state of the blade through the regular analysis of the three stages of processing deviation, coating spraying and service. Through the correlation fitting, the one-to-one correspondence between the geometric characteristic parameters of the air film holes in the blade design stage and the corresponding parameters under the final service period (i.e., the geometric parameter attenuation law) is finally established, such as Figure 7 shown.

[0047] Step 2: Design a central composite test table based on the correspondence between the geometric characteristic parameters of the air film holes and the blade data. Select the number of research parameters and the wide parameter variation range, and design a central composite test table, which is specifically divided into the following steps: determine typical factors based on the single factor influence law; determine the variation range corresponding to the selected parameters based on the typical factors; design a central composite test table based on the variation range corresponding to the selected parameters.

[0048] Step 2-1: Based on the previous single factor influence law, a coupling influence study was conducted on typical factors, and the number of research parameters was selected. For this blade, five factors, including x1: upper end aperture deviation, x2: lower end aperture deviation, x3: acute angle flow angle deviation, x4: right angle flow angle deviation, and x5: spanwise inclination angle deviation, were selected to study the cooling effect of the leading edge film hole;

[0049] Step 2-2: According to the basic data statistics, determine the corresponding variation range of the parameters, and appropriately expand the range to support the subsequent correlation fitting under a wide parameter variation range. The parameter variation range selected for this blade is shown in Table 1:

[0050] Table 1

[0051]

[0052] Step 2-3: Design a central composite (CCD) test table, which includes design points (used for repeated tests to reduce errors), axial points (used to determine the positive and negative effects of single factors), and star points (used to measure the effects of extreme levels) to ensure a more accurate assessment of the coupling effects of multiple factors within a limited number of tests.

[0053] Step 3: Based on the central composite test table, a simulation model is constructed and numerical calculation is performed to obtain simulation results. Based on the simulation results, a correlation formula between the blade cooling effect and the cooling effect attenuation is obtained by fitting, which is specifically divided into the following steps:

[0054] Step 3-1: According to the hole diameter and hole inclination deviation values ​​at different positions of the blade in the central composite test table, parametric modeling of the leading edge hole sheet is performed in UG.

[0055] Step 3-2: Based on the Fluent meshing software, import the air film hole sheet file of each group of tests into the model mesh file without air film holes on the leading edge, execute the script file for the "Intersect" function of the mesh, realize the air film hole drilling operation of the blade, import the surface mesh and volume mesh parameters, and automatically divide the mesh of each group of test models.

[0056] Step 3-3: Perform numerical simulation calculations on each group of models in the test table, and read the local surface average temperature of the simulation results for comprehensive cooling effect and cooling effect attenuation calculation. Based on the response surface method, the cooling effect and cooling effect attenuation are expressed as a function of the superposition of quadratic terms, linear terms, and interaction terms of each factor. The simulation results are brought into the function to fit the coefficient values ​​of each function. Taking the cooling effect (φ) correlation considering five factors as an example, its expression is:

[0057]

[0058] Where a1~a 21 are the coefficient values ​​of each item, and x1~x5 are the influencing factors.

[0059] Step 4: Based on the fitted blade cooling efficiency and cooling efficiency attenuation expressions, the geometric characteristic parameters of the turbine blade with low cooling efficiency attenuation are optimized according to the required parameters and variation range. The specific steps are as follows:

[0060] Step 4-1: Optimize the parameters of the five factors x1: upper aperture deviation, x2: lower aperture deviation, x3: acute flow angle deviation, x4: right-angle flow angle deviation, and x5: spanwise inclination angle deviation. The parameters, variation range, and optimization accuracy of the given requirements are shown in Table 2.

[0061] Table 2

[0062]

[0063] Step 4-2: Optimize the correlation between the blade cooling effect and cooling effect attenuation to satisfy: Δφ B <Δφ A , and φ A ≤φ B The priority is Δφ B The smaller the better. When this condition is met, φ B The bigger the better.

[0064] Among them, Δφ A =φ A -φ A' , Δφ B =φ B -φ B' , Δφ is the cooling effect attenuation, A' and B' are the corresponding attenuation blades.

[0065] The parameter optimization results are as follows:

[0066] Parameter x1 is -0.02mm, parameter x2 is -0.04mm, parameter x3 is -15°, parameter x4 is -15°, and parameter x5 is -6°.

[0067] Step 5: Model and simulate the optimized geometric parameters of the film holes. Model the turbine blades according to the optimized geometric parameters of the film holes, and verify through numerical simulation calculations whether they meet the requirements of low cooling efficiency and attenuation. The simulation results show that the design cooling efficiency of the original blade is 0.5088, the cooling efficiency attenuation is 0.02544, and the cooling efficiency attenuation is 5%. The design cooling efficiency of the optimized blade is 0.509, the cooling efficiency attenuation is 0.01313, and the cooling efficiency attenuation is 2.58%. The cooling efficiency of the optimized blade is basically the same as that of the original blade. The cooling efficiency attenuation of the optimized blade is 48.4% lower than that of the original blade, and the cooling margin is significantly improved.

[0068] The present invention takes into account the influence of processing and manufacturing deviations, coating spraying and working environment on the cooling characteristics of the blade in the early stage of design, and realizes the optimized design of the geometric characteristic parameters of the air film holes of the turbine blade with low attenuation of cooling efficiency, which ensures that the cooling efficiency of the blade does not change significantly under the actual working environment, effectively supports the reliable operation of the blade, and has a relatively broad application prospect.

[0069] The optimization design method of the present invention comprehensively considers the influence of geometric feature deviations on the cooling efficiency of blades during manufacturing, coating spraying and service environment, accurately predicts the cooling efficiency attenuation and optimizes the layout in a targeted manner from the front end of the design, effectively solves the problem that the cooling efficiency of the blades does not meet the expectations during the actual use stage, and greatly reduces the calculation amount of blade parameter optimization.

[0070] The above are only preferred specific implementations of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
