Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] It involves the field of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), especially in the numerical simulation and post-processing analysis of gas turbine heat transfer performance. Background Art
[0002] In the field of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology, especially for the study of gas turbine heat transfer performance, a large number of studies have focused on evaluating the performance of gas turbine internal cooling systems through numerical simulation and experimental means. For example, common methods include the calculation of convective heat transfer coefficient (Nu), friction factor (f), thermal efficiency (TP), and wall shear stress (WSS) to optimize the design and operating efficiency of gas turbines. Mainstream post-processing software on the market, such as CFD-POST, provides conventional post-processing functions that can process data on fluid flow, heat transfer, etc. However, the functions of these tools are mainly concentrated in the calculation of basic heat transfer processes, relying on simple algorithms and formulas, and are suitable for some situations where the geometric structure is relatively simple and the flow process is relatively simple.
[0003] In existing research, gas turbine internal cooling usually relies on structures such as spoiler columns to enhance the heat transfer effect. For example, some studies have attempted to improve the heat transfer performance by adding spoiler columns in the flow channel and changing the flow path of the cooling gas. These measures can effectively increase the turbulence of the fluid, thereby improving the convective heat transfer efficiency. However, due to the complex internal structure of the gas turbine, the flow of the cooling fluid is often affected by many factors, including the complexity of the geometry, the tortuosity of the cooling flow channel, and the arrangement of spoiler columns. These factors may cause irregular reflux and flow separation in some areas of the flow field, thereby affecting the overall heat transfer effect.
[0004] Although existing CFD software can handle simple fluid calculations, existing technologies have certain limitations when evaluating the heat transfer performance of complex equipment such as gas turbines. For example, traditional post-processing methods often fail to provide accurate evaluation results when dealing with complex geometric structures and internal cooling performance, and lack in-depth analysis of details. Many existing studies rely on basic formulas to calculate temperature differences, while ignoring the impact of local complex flows on overall heat transfer performance, thereby introducing large errors in the calculation results. In addition, existing monitoring methods cannot effectively perceive flow changes in complex flow fields, resulting in potential uneven heat transfer problems inside gas turbines that are difficult to detect in a timely manner.
[0005] Therefore, the existing technology has the following main problems when evaluating the performance of the internal cooling system of the gas turbine: insufficient comprehensive evaluation capability for complex geometric structures and inability to accurately reflect the flow field changes of the cooling fluid.

[0049] Procedure for evaluating the drag characteristics of cooling gas as it flows through spoiler pins and tortuous channels.
[0050] This embodiment provides a method for evaluating the heat transfer performance of a gas turbine internal cooling system based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology. This method can accurately evaluate the heat transfer effect of a cooling system with a complex geometric structure by establishing a geometric model, setting boundary conditions, performing numerical simulation, and performing post-processing analysis. The specific implementation is carried out in the following steps:
[0051] 1. Geometric model establishment
[0052] Brief description: First, the geometric model of the internal cooling system at the trailing edge of the gas turbine is established.
[0053] The geometric model includes a rectangular flow channel and multiple rows of spoiler columns to simulate the actual cooling structure of the trailing edge of a gas turbine. The spoiler columns are cylindrical in shape, with a number between 10 and 50, and are arranged in a staggered manner to maximize turbulence and cooling effects. The staggered arrangement of the spoiler columns can effectively increase the turbulence effect of the cooling gas, thereby enhancing the heat transfer performance. In addition, the width-to-height ratio of the rectangular flow channel is set to 5:6 to optimize the flow path of the cooling gas and ensure that the cooling fluid can fully flow and exchange heat in each area.
[0054] 2. Boundary condition setting
[0055] Brief Description: Set inlet, outlet and wall boundary conditions for the geometric model.
[0056] The inlet boundary conditions of the model include the mass flow rate and temperature of the cooling gas. The average velocity at the inlet is between 4 and 30 m / s, and the temperature range is between 300 and 600 Kelvin (K), ensuring that the simulation results are consistent with the actual operating conditions of the gas turbine. The outlet is set as a pressure boundary to maintain the stability of the flow. The wall boundary conditions are set to no slip and constant heat flux, and the heat flux value is 1000 W / m 2 , used to simulate the heat exchange of the cooling system under high temperature conditions. The wall material is made of metal with excellent thermal conductivity to improve the heat exchange efficiency.
[0057] 3. Grid division

At the same time, mesh encryption is used around spoiler columns and in areas where fluid flow changes significantly to capture subtle changes in the fluid and ensure the accuracy and reliability of the calculation results.
[0060] 4. Numerical simulation solution

During the solution process, the massFlowAve() formula weighted by mass flow is used to capture the local average temperature in the flow channel to reduce the calculation error introduced by the complex flow field. The SIMPLE algorithm and steady-state solver are used in the simulation to ensure convergence and calculation stability.
[0063] 5. Post-processing analysis
[0064] Brief description: Post-processing analysis of numerical simulation results.
[0065] In the post-processing stage, the simulation data is deeply analyzed through post-processing tools such as CFD-POST. First, 2D interception surfaces are set at the inlet and outlet of the flow channel (located at 5 / 36 of the inlet section and 7 / 36 of the outlet section of the flow channel, respectively) to capture the local average temperature of the cooling fluid for calculating the temperature difference.
[0066] By analyzing the fluid temperature, velocity and pressure distribution, contour maps and cloud maps can be generated to intuitively display the flow characteristics of the cooling fluid and the heat transfer effect around the spoiler column. At the same time, the flow path of the cooling gas is analyzed through the streamline diagram to evaluate the impact of the spoiler column design on the fluid heat transfer performance.
[0067] 6. Nusselt number and wall shear stress calculation
[0068] Description: Calculates the overall Nusselt number and wall shear stress.
[0069] Based on the post-processing results, the overall Nusselt number Nu is calculated using an area-weighted approach. all , in order to comprehensively consider the heat transfer effects of different areas in the flow channel.
[0070] By comprehensively considering the heat transfer conditions of different wall surfaces, the overall heat transfer performance of the geometric model can be more comprehensively evaluated. The heat transfer capacity of the cooling structure under different working conditions can be evaluated.
[0071] 7. Calculation of friction coefficient
[0072] Brief description: The friction coefficient is calculated based on the mass flow weighting method.
[0073] The friction coefficient f of the cooling gas in the flow channel is calculated using the mass flow weighted method to evaluate the resistance characteristics of the cooling gas when passing through the spoiler and the tortuous flow channel.
[0074] By calculating the friction coefficient, the resistance loss of cooling gas in complex structures can be analyzed, providing reliable data support for optimizing flow channel design.

[0089] Embodiment 10: This embodiment provides a computer program product, which is a computer program. When the computer program is executed, the method provided in embodiment 2 is implemented.
[0090] Implementation Method XI: Combination Figure 1 This embodiment is described in detail by using specific examples to further describe the technical solution provided above. Specifically:
[0091] like Figure 1 The figure shows a complex geometric model of a rectangular flow channel containing spoiler columns. This model is a schematic diagram of the internal cooling structure at the trailing edge of the gas turbine. When the cooling fluid flows from the left to the Plane 11 position, a 2D interception surface is set here to capture the local average temperature at the inlet. When passing through the spoiler column 2 array, a very complex flow field change will occur. The setting of spoiler column 2 is currently the main method adopted for heat exchange at the trailing edge of the gas turbine. After the fluid hits the spoiler column, part of the cooling gas will continue to move forward along the column, and part of the gas will climb up and down along the spoiler column, thereby hitting the wall surface of WALLTOP4 and WALL BOTTOM3. Finally, when the gas flows through Plane25, a 2D interception surface is also set to capture the local average temperature at the outlet. The selection and setting method of this section can effectively capture the influence of backflow on the heat exchange in the L section heat exchange area, and the calculated data and cloud map can also more intuitively represent the quality of heat exchange capacity.
[0092] In the general process of temperature difference change, ΔT is generally calculated by the average temperature difference between the outlet and the inlet. Since the cooling gas in the flow channel is often affected by the tortuous and complex flow channel and the obstruction of the spoiler column, backflow often occurs. Simply using the numerical difference as a standard to measure the temperature change, the data value obtained with large errors is often not referenceable. To address this pain point, the present invention selects the massFlowAve() formula suitable for the weighted mass flow rate of each point on a specific 2D plane position as the basis, and uses the difference between the hot wall temperature and the overall local average temperature to replace the conventional temperature difference ΔT. The formula is shown in (1):
[0093] ΔT=Temperature-(massFlowAve(Temperature)@Plane1+X / L[mm]*(massFlowAve(Temperature)@Plane2-massFlowAve(Temperature)@Plane1)) (1)
[0095] Wherein, massFlowAve(Temperature)@Plane1: represents the mass flow weighted average temperature of the cooling fluid at the section Plane1. Plane1 is usually set at the 5 / 36 position of the flow channel inlet.
[0096] massFlowAve(Temperature)@Plane2: represents the mass flow weighted average temperature of the cooling fluid at plane 2. Plane 2 is usually set at the 7 / 36 position of the flow channel.
[0097] X / L[mm]: indicates the position change in the horizontal direction of the flow channel relative to the length L. X is the difference change relative to the model's horizontal coordinate point distance, and L is the total length of the fluid flow change under study, so X / L indicates the relative position change of the current position in the flow channel (range between 0 and 1)
[0098] massFlowAve(Temperature)@Plane1+X / L[mm]*(massFlowAve(Temperature)@Plane2-massFlowAve(Temperature)@Plane1): This part represents the local overall average temperature value in the flow channel based on linear interpolation calculation. By capturing the mass flow average temperature at section 1 of the inlet section, the difference between the temperature of variable X at section 2 and the temperature at section 1 within the L-segment range is calculated, and this difference is added to the mass flow average temperature at section 1 as the local overall average temperature, and then the difference is subtracted from the actual heated wall temperature to obtain the absolute value.
[0099] Temperature: The actual temperature of the heating wall. The difference ΔT is the difference between the wall temperature of the mainstream inlet and outlet sections and the overall average temperature of the cooling gas.
[0100] Based on the ΔT described in formula (1), a calculation formula for the overall Nusselt number Nu, which measures the overall heat transfer efficiency of the geometric model, is given. This formula carefully considers the impact cooling effect of the cooling gas on the internal cooling mechanism after flowing through the flow channel according to the position of each cross section divided in the picture. The overall Nusselt number calculated using this formula is more in line with the actual heat transfer situation.
[0101] Nu all =(areaAve(VariableNu)@WALL BOTTOM*area()@WALL
[0102] BOTTOM+areaAve(VariableNu)@WALLTOP*area()@WALLTOP+areaAve(VariableNu)@pinfin*area()@pinfin) / (area()@WALL BOTTOM+area()@WALLTOP+area()@pinfin) (2)
[0104] Among them, Nu all Represents the overall Nusselt number, which can represent the overall heat transfer effect of flow channels with different shapes.
[0105] areaAve(VariableNu)@WALL BOTTOM means calculating the area average value of the heat transfer index (Nusselt number) on the bottom wall.
[0106] area()@WALL BOTTOM represents the area of the bottom wall.
[0107] areaAve(VariableNu)@WALLTOP and area()@WALLTOP similarly represent the area average of the Nusselt number of the top wall and the average area of the top wall.
[0108] areaAve(VariableNu)@pinfin*area()@pinfin and area()@pinfin represent the average Nusselt value of the area on the spoiler column and the average area corresponding to the spoiler column.
[0109] The whole formula calculates the heat transfer effect on the overall geometric model by taking the arithmetic average of the bottom, top wall and spoiler. The denominator area in the formula is the sum of the area of the wall and spoiler, and the numerator is the sum of the product of the average area of the heat transfer index (Nusselt number) of each region and the average area of the surface. all It can comprehensively consider the heat exchange performance of each area and more accurately reflect the overall heat exchange effect.
[0110] The calculation of the total shear stress is also carried out in the same way as in formula (2).
[0111] WSS all =(areaAve(Wall Shear)@WALL BOTTOM*area()@WALL BOTTOM+areaAve(Wall
[0112] Shear)@WALLTOP*area()@WALLTOP+areaAve(Wall
[0113] Shear)@pinfin*area()@pinfin) / (area()@WALL BOTTOM+area()@WALLTOP+area()@pinfin) (3)
[0115] WSS all : Represents the total wall shear stress in the geometric model and is suitable for analyzing flow under different wall force conditions.
[0116] areaAve(WallShear)@WALL BOTTOM: represents the area average of the shear stress on the bottom wall (WALL BOTTOM).
[0117] area()@WALL BOTTOM: indicates the area of the bottom wall.
[0118] areaAve(WallShear)@WALL TOP and area()@WALLTOP: represent the surface average of the shear stress on the top wall and the area of the corresponding wall, respectively.
[0119] areaAve(WallShear)@pinfin*area()@pinfin and area()@pinfin: represent the surface average shear stress on the surface of the spoiler column (pinfin) and the area of the corresponding spoiler column.
[0120] Assume that the average wall shear stress value of each region is multiplied by the area of the corresponding region to obtain the total shear stress value of the entire region. Then divide it by the sum of the areas corresponding to each region, and you get the desired WSS. all .
[0121] area()@WALL BOTTOM+area()@WALLTOP+area()@pinfin: represents the sum of the areas of the bottom wall, top wall and spoiler column.
[0122] The friction coefficient is processed by combining the original basic formula with the massFlowAve() formula and 2D cross sections Plane 1 and Plane 2 to propose a new formula. This formula can better describe the stagnation of cooling gas when passing through spoiler columns or curved flow channels, and is more suitable for measuring the change in friction resistance of the geometric assembly.
[0123] f=(massFlowAve(Pressure)@Plane 1-massFlowAve(Pressure)@Plane

[0125] ^2) / ((massFlowAve(Density)@Plane 1+massFlowAve(Density)@Plane 2) / 2)*Dh[mm] / L[mm] (4)
[0127] Among them, massFlowAve(Pressure)@Plane 1-massFlowAve(Pressure)@Plane 2: represents the pressure difference of the average mass flow rate between the flow channel inlet (Plane 1) and outlet (Plane 2). This pressure difference is the main driving force for the fluid to flow in the flow channel, and is also an important measure of friction loss.
[0128] 0.5: Coefficient used to calculate kinetic energy.
[0129] massFlowAve(Velocity)@Plane 1 and massFlowAve(Velocity)@Plane 2: represent the mass flow-weighted average velocity at the flow channel inlet and outlet, respectively.
[0130] (massFlowAve(Density)@Plane 1+massFlowAve(Density)@Plane 2) / 2: Calculates the average of the density at the inlet and outlet sections.
[0131] ^2: indicates square.
[0132] Dh[mm]: represents the hydraulic diameter of the flow channel in millimeters. The hydraulic diameter is used to describe the effective flow channel size in complex geometric structures.
[0133] L[mm]: indicates the length of the flow channel in millimeters.
[0134] The overall structure of the formula is:
[0135] The numerator represents the pressure difference in the flow channel and is the driving term related to the resistance.
[0136] The denominator calculates the average kinetic energy of the fluid, which is used to measure the flow intensity of the fluid in the flow channel.
[0137] Through the whole formula, the friction coefficient f can be calculated, which is used to represent the pressure loss of cooling gas in the flow channel due to fluid resistance. The friction coefficient is closely related to the length of the flow channel, hydraulic diameter, fluid velocity, density and pressure difference in the flow channel.
[0138] The physical meaning of the friction coefficient f is to describe the resistance characteristics of the cooling gas when it flows in the flow channel. It can be used to evaluate the impact of flow channels with different structural designs on fluid flow, thereby providing a basis for optimal design. For example, by changing the length of the flow channel, the inclination angle design of the spoiler column or other geometric parameters, the friction coefficient can be minimized to reduce resistance loss and optimize the energy efficiency of the cooling system.
[0139] This implementation is based on the massFlowAve() formula suitable for the mass flow weighting of each point at this position in the CFD-POST post-processing software, and makes innovative changes to the basic formula in the existing research, which can objectively reflect the flow field changes in the flow channel and the quality of the heat exchange, and significantly improve the accuracy and reliability of the numerical simulation of the heat exchange performance of the gas turbine. This method has a certain degree of universality, and the parameters such as Plane1 and WALL TOP wall involved in this formula can be extended to other complex models, and can effectively evaluate the internal cooling effect of complex geometric structures. By setting a 2D plane at the key position of the flow channel and using the mass flow weighting formula, it can more effectively obtain the data of key parameters such as Nusselt number (Nu), friction factor (f), thermal efficiency (TP) and wall shear stress (WSS). Compared with the traditional method, the evaluation method designed in this implementation not only improves the reliability and accuracy of the design of the internal cooling structure of the trailing edge, but also significantly enhances the persuasiveness of the post-processing data results, and provides a powerful tool for the optimization design and performance improvement of heat exchange equipment such as gas turbines.
[0140] In the specific implementation work, this embodiment considers an internal cooling structure at the trailing edge of a gas turbine, which includes a rectangular flow channel and multiple rows of spoiler columns. In order to evaluate the heat transfer performance of the structure, this embodiment sets two 2D cross-sections, namely Plane1 and Plane2, at the inlet and outlet positions of the flow channel, respectively. At the Plane1 position, this embodiment captures the local average inlet temperature of the cooling fluid; and at the Plane 2 position downstream of the spoiler column array, this embodiment captures the local average outlet temperature. Through these two cross sections, this embodiment can effectively capture the impact of backflow on the main heat exchange area and calculate more accurate heat transfer efficiency data.
[0141] Specifically, this embodiment uses the mass flow weighted massFlowAve() formula as the basis and uses linear interpolation to calculate the temperature difference ΔT, which takes into account the difference between the hot wall temperature and the local overall average temperature, as shown in formula (1). Based on this ΔT value, this embodiment further calculates the overall Nusselt number Nu all , formula (2) is used to comprehensively consider the overall Nusselt number in the flow channel. Similarly, this embodiment uses formula (3) to calculate the total wall shear stress WSS all .
[0142] Finally, in order to evaluate the friction coefficient, this embodiment uses formula (4) to describe the stagnation effect of the cooling gas when passing through the spoiler column or the curved flow channel. Through this embodiment, this embodiment can more accurately obtain the data of key parameters such as Nusselt number (Nu), friction factor (f), thermal efficiency (TP) and wall shear stress (WSS), thereby significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of the numerical simulation of gas turbine heat transfer performance.
