Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of internal flow control of impeller machines, and particularly relates to a non-axisymmetric circumferential slot casing treatment design method, which is applied to a ducted fan under inlet distortion conditions and used for expanding the stable margin of the fan. BACKGROUND

[0002] Inlet distortion is a flow phenomenon widely existing in an aero-engine, and its causes are various. The climbing, sideslip and diving processes of an airplane and the special design of an airplane inlet can cause deterioration of inlet conditions and produce inlet distortion. Research shows that inlet distortion is an important factor for degradation of the stall boundary and attenuation of the steady-state characteristics of a ducted fan. When the ducted fan works under the condition of inlet distortion, the original working state of the ducted fan and the axial symmetric flow of the air flow are destroyed, which leads to a decrease in the stability of the ducted fan and a right shift of the stall boundary, and seriously affects the normal operation of the engine. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the anti-distortion capability of the ducted fan

[0003] The casing treatment acts on the top of the rotor, expands the stable margin by improving the flow in the tip region under near-stall conditions, has a relatively simple structure, a relatively low cost, reliable performance and strong anti-distortion capability. A large number of studies have shown that the stall precursor of most modern axial flow compressors occurs in the tip region first, and the casing treatment method for expanding the stability is used in the ducted fan, which is expected to improve the anti-distortion capability of the ducted fan.

[0004] The casing treatment structure has various types, and current researches on the casing treatment are mostly concentrated on the circumferential slot and the axial slit. However, compared with the axial slit, the circumferential slot has a certain effect on expanding the stability of the compressor while having a smaller influence on the peak efficiency of the compressor, and therefore has attracted more attention. SUMMARY

[0005] Therefore, the present application improves the conventional axisymmetric circumferential slot casing treatment method. The method analyzes the flow field of the ducted fan under near-stall conditions under the condition of inlet distortion, considers the non-axisymmetric distribution of the low-energy region in the flow field, and considers that the deep slot has a stronger suction effect on the low-energy region. Deep slots are opened in the blade passages with serious blockage of the low-energy region, shallow slots are opened in the blade passages with weak blockage of the low-energy region, and a linear smooth transition is adopted between the deep slots and the shallow slots, so as to improve the anti-distortion capability of the ducted fan and further expand the stable margin of the ducted fan.

[0006] The present application is implemented by using the following technical solutions:

[0007] The inlet distortion condition is a certain total pressure distortion condition, and the relative Mach number cloud diagram of the bypass fan under the near stall condition of the total pressure distortion inlet condition is analyzed to obtain the number of low-energy fluid zones in the tip region of the bypass fan, and the circumferential angle range of the low-energy fluid seriously blocking the flow field region is recorded as Δβ i .

[0008] For the flow field of the bypass fan under the inlet distortion near stall condition, according to the non-axisymmetric distribution of low-energy fluid, deep grooves are opened above the blocked blade passages, shallow grooves are opened above the blade passages with weak blocking, and the transition between the deep grooves and the shallow grooves adopts linear smooth transition. The non-axisymmetric circumferential groove designed has better stability expansion effect than the axisymmetric circumferential groove.

[0009] A further technical scheme of the bypass fan is that the groove depth value of the deep groove is 14 to 21 times of the tip gap, the groove depth value of the shallow groove is 8 to 14 times of the tip gap, and the transition region between the deep groove and the shallow groove adopts linear smooth transition.

[0010] A further technical scheme of the bypass fan is that the circumferential range of the linear smooth transition region is related to the circumferential distribution of the low-energy fluid, and the circumferential angle percentage is 20% to 40%, and Δθ i is the circumferential angle range occupied by the linear smooth transition region.

[0011] The expression of the linear smooth transition region is: In the formula, the size of R1 is the sum of the radius of the blade top and the depth of the shallow groove, the size of R2 is the sum of the radius of the blade top and the depth of the deep groove, and the value of θ i belongs to 0 to Δθ i .

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the bypass fan has at least the following beneficial technical effects:

[0013] The improved non-axisymmetric circumferential groove casing treatment method designed according to the non-axisymmetric distribution of low-energy fluid in the flow field and the characteristics of the deep groove and the shallow groove has more obvious stability expansion effect on the bypass fan.

[0014] Numerical research carried out on a certain bypass fan shows that the improved circumferential groove casing treatment method can increase the stability margin of the bypass fan under the inlet distortion condition from 5.84% to 11.73% compared with the real wall casing (without implementing the casing treatment).

Figure 1 Fig. 4 is a relative Mach number cloud chart of 98% blade height of the ducted fan under the total pressure distortion inlet condition. From the relative Mach number cloud chart, it can be seen that there is a low pressure zone in the circumferential direction. According to the non-axisymmetric distribution of low-energy fluid under the inlet distortion condition, deep grooves are opened to the blocked blade passages 10, 11 and 12, shallow grooves are opened to the less blocked blade passages 2, 3, 4 and 5, and the remaining passages are linearly and smoothly transitioned between deep grooves and shallow grooves. A schematic diagram of linear smooth transition between deep grooves and shallow grooves of the non-axisymmetric circumferential grooves is shown in Figure 4 Fig. 5.
