Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of internal flow control of turbomachinery, and specifically relates to a method for processing and designing a non-axisymmetric circumferential groove casing, which is applied to a ducted fan under intake distortion conditions to widen the fan stability margin. Background Art

[0002] Intake distortion is a flow phenomenon that is widely present in aircraft engines, and there are many reasons for its occurrence. The aircraft's climb, sideslip and dive processes, as well as the special design of the aircraft's inlet duct, will cause the deterioration of intake conditions and produce intake distortion. Studies have found that intake distortion is an important factor in the degradation of the stall boundary and the attenuation of steady-state characteristics of the ducted fan. When the ducted fan works under conditions of intake distortion, it will destroy the original working state of the ducted fan and the axisymmetric flow of the airflow, resulting in reduced stability of the ducted fan and shifting its stall boundary to the right, seriously affecting the normal operation of the engine. Therefore, it is extremely important to conduct research on the anti-distortion ability of the ducted fan.

[0003] The casing treatment acts on the top of the rotor, and by improving the flow widening stability margin in the blade tip area under near-stall conditions, it has a relatively simple structure, relatively low cost, reliable performance, and strong anti-distortion capability. A large number of studies have shown that the stall precursors of most modern axial compressors first occur in the blade tip area. Applying the stabilization method of the casing treatment to ducted fans is expected to improve the anti-distortion capability of ducted fans.

[0004] There are various types of casing treatment structures, and current research focuses on circumferential grooves and axial slots. However, compared with axial slots, circumferential grooves play a certain role in stabilizing the compressor and have less impact on the peak efficiency of the compressor, so they have received more attention. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention improves the conventional axisymmetric circumferential groove casing processing method, which analyzes the flow field of the ducted fan in near-stall condition under the condition of intake distortion, based on the non-axisymmetry of the distribution of low-energy zones in the flow field, and taking into account that deep circumferential grooves have a stronger suction effect on the low-energy zones, deep grooves are opened for blade channels with severe blockage in the low-energy zones, shallow grooves are opened for blade channels with less blockage in the low-energy zones, and a stepped transition is adopted between the deep grooves and the shallow grooves, thereby improving the anti-distortion capability of the ducted fan and further widening the stability margin of the ducted fan.

[0006] The present invention is achieved by adopting the following technical solutions:

[0007] The intake distortion condition is a certain real total pressure distortion condition. The relative Mach number cloud diagram of the ducted fan near-stall condition under the total pressure distortion intake condition is analyzed to obtain the distribution of low-energy fluid in the ducted fan blade tip area.

[0008] Aiming at the flow field of the ducted fan near stall condition under inlet distortion, based on the non-axisymmetry of low-energy fluid distribution, deep grooves are opened above the blade channels with severe blockage, and shallow grooves are opened above the blade channels with weaker blockage. The transition between the deep grooves and the shallow grooves adopts a stepped transition. The designed non-axisymmetric circumferential groove has a better stabilization effect than the axisymmetric circumferential groove.

[0009] A further technical solution of the present invention is: the groove depth of the deep groove is 14-21 times the blade tip clearance, the groove depth of the shallow groove is 8-14 times the blade tip clearance, and the transition zone between the deep groove and the shallow groove adopts a stepped transition.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial technical effects:

[0011] The present invention designs an improved non-axisymmetric circumferential groove casing processing method based on the non-axisymmetric distribution of low-energy fluid in the flow field and the inherent characteristics of deep grooves and shallow grooves, which has a more obvious stabilization effect on the ducted fan.

[0012] Numerical studies conducted on a ducted fan show that the non-axisymmetric circumferential groove casing treatment method improves the stability margin of the ducted fan under intake distortion conditions from 5.84% to 9.53% compared with the solid wall casing (no casing treatment).

[0022]

[0023] Figure 2 For ducted fans Figure 1 The relative Mach number cloud diagram of 98% blade height under the total pressure distortion intake condition is shown in the figure. According to the non-axisymmetry of the low-energy fluid distribution, deep grooves are opened for blade passages 7 to 15 with serious blockage, and shallow grooves are opened for blade passages 1 to 6 with weaker blockage. A step-like transition is adopted between the deep grooves and the shallow grooves. The schematic diagram of the step-like transition between the deep grooves and the shallow grooves of the non-axisymmetric circumferential grooves is shown in the figure. Figure 3 shown.

[0024] The depth of the deep groove is 0.061×21≈13 mm, and the depth of the shallow groove is 0.061×14≈9 mm.

[0025] The calculation formula of the stability margin widening is as follows:

[0026]

[0027] The peak efficiency is calculated as follows:

[0028]

[0029] Where π0 and m0 are the pressure ratio and flow rate corresponding to the uniform intake maximum efficiency point condition, π s 、m s is the pressure ratio and flow rate corresponding to the stall condition of the ducted fan after the non-axisymmetric casing treatment under distorted intake conditions. π* is the total inlet and outlet pressure ratio, T2 * is the total outlet temperature, T1 * is the total inlet temperature.

[0030] Table 2 shows the comparison of relevant parameters of the ducted fan before and after the non-axisymmetric casing treatment when the total pressure distortion intake is applied. Compared with the solid wall casing, the stability margin of the non-axisymmetric circumferential groove solution is improved by 3.69%.
