Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of turbine machinery technology, and in particular to a method and device for determining a minimum safe operating angle of an industrial axial compressor and related equipment. Background Art

[0002] At present, industrial axial compressors with adjustable stator blades have the characteristics of high efficiency, suitability for large and medium flow rates and a wide range of operating adjustment conditions. In addition to traditional uses such as blast furnace blasting, catalytic cracking, extra-large air separation, biopharmaceuticals, extra-large gas sources and wind tunnels, they can be expanded to the petroleum, chemical and energy storage industries, and have considerable economic and social benefits.

[0003] The design and operation specifications of industrial axial compressors with adjustable stator blades usually strictly prohibit the stator blade angle from being operated at a level less than the minimum safe operating angle. If the stator blade angle of the compressor is operated at a level less than the minimum safe operating angle, the first stage of the compressor is very likely to enter an aeroelastic unstable state. At this stator blade angle, no matter what the outlet pressure of the axial compressor is in, the first stage moving blades will fail and break prematurely, which will have a serious impact on the continuous operation of the process industry and cause huge economic losses. At present, the minimum safe operating angle of the stator blades of industrial axial compressors with adjustable stator blades is usually determined by the following two methods: 1) existing empirical standard values; 2) special blade tip timing test; among them, the minimum safe operating angle determined by the existing empirical standard values ​​lacks precision, and it is easy for the blades to fail and break prematurely due to too small a value, and too large a value leads to a narrow effective working range; and the special blade tip timing test is actually to arrange blade tip timing sensors on the bearing steel surface of the axial compressor blade to monitor the blade vibration amplitude and dynamic stress level at different stator blade angles. Among them, when the blade vibration and dynamic stress levels suddenly increase, the stator blade angle is determined to be the minimum safe operating angle. Here, the minimum safe operating angle of the axial compressor can be accurately determined through the blade tip timing test, but this test subject belongs to a special test, which requires extremely high professional quality of the test personnel, and the test preparation cycle is long and the test cost is extremely high. Therefore, industrial axial compressor manufacturers rarely conduct this type of test. Summary of the invention

[0039] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0040] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features; in the description of this application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0041] The stator blade angle of industrial axial compressors with adjustable stator blades has an allowable design operating range. If the operating range is exceeded, the compressor is likely to be in an unsafe state. Figure 1As shown in the figure, when the stator blade angle reaches the maximum allowable angle when the axial compressor is running, the axial compressor will enter a supersonic state, which may cause the flow resistance of the airflow in the blade grid to be too large, affecting the efficiency of the compressor. It may also cause the separation of the airflow on the blade surface to intensify, causing problems similar to blockage, making the compressor unable to work normally. At this time, the flow rate is at the maximum flow limit value, and continuing to increase the stator blade angle will not be able to achieve a larger flow rate; if the stator blade angle is less than the minimum allowable angle (i.e., the minimum safe working angle of the stator blade) when the axial compressor is running, the first stage of the compressor is very likely to enter an aeroelastic unstable state. At this stator blade angle, no matter what the outlet pressure of the axial compressor is in, the first stage moving blades will fail and break prematurely, which will have a serious impact on the continuous operation and production of the process industry and cause huge economic losses. At present, the minimum safe operating angle of the stator blades of industrial axial compressors with adjustable stator blades is usually determined by the following two methods: 1) existing empirical standard values; 2) special blade tip timing test; among them, the minimum safe operating angle determined by the existing empirical standard values ​​lacks precision, and it is easy for the blades to fail and break prematurely due to too small a value, and too large a value leads to a narrow effective working range; and the special blade tip timing test is actually to arrange blade tip timing sensors on the bearing steel surface of the axial compressor blade to monitor the blade vibration amplitude and dynamic stress level at different stator blade angles. Among them, when the blade vibration and dynamic stress levels suddenly increase, the stator blade angle is determined to be the minimum safe operating angle. Here, the minimum safe operating angle of the axial compressor can be accurately determined through the blade tip timing test, but this test subject belongs to a special test, which requires extremely high professional quality of the test personnel, and the test preparation cycle is long and the test cost is extremely high. Therefore, industrial axial compressor manufacturers rarely conduct this type of test.

[0042] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention proposes the following technical solutions and corresponding embodiments.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] Combine the following Figures 1 to 9 The embodiments shown describe the technical solution of the present invention:

[0045] Figure 2 FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing a method for determining the minimum safe operating angle of an industrial axial compressor according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, a method for determining the minimum safe operating angle of an industrial axial compressor in an embodiment of the present application includes the following steps S101 to S105:

[0046] Step S101, determining a plurality of safe operating angles of stationary blades corresponding to the industrial axial flow compressor;

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, the multiple stator blade safe operation angles corresponding to the industrial axial flow compressor are several possible safe operation angles inferred from existing empirical specifications. It should be noted that the industrial axial flow compressor of the present application is an industrial axial flow compressor with adjustable stator blades.

[0048] Step S102: establish a geometric model based on the industrial axial compressor, and mesh the geometric model to obtain a target geometric model corresponding to the industrial axial compressor, and after setting the flow field boundary conditions, perform a single-channel steady-state CFD calculation of the whole machine based on the target geometric model under the safe operating angles of the multiple stator blades to obtain a steady-state CFD flow field result of the whole machine.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, the inlet and outlet boundary conditions are set for the selected working condition, such as the inlet total pressure, the inlet total temperature and the outlet pressure. For example, the selected working condition is a deep blocking working condition with low exhaust pressure, and a steady CFD calculation is performed for the selected working condition, wherein the outlet pressure is set to the exhaust pressure when the outlet regulating valve is fully opened under the deep blocking working condition simulation, and the exhaust pressure is usually lower than 150kPa. Here, the inlet total pressure is set to 101.325kPa, the inlet total temperature is 288.15K, and the outlet given static The pressure is 150kPa. Fluid Dynamics, computational fluid dynamics) method uses computational The machine directly numerically solves the NS equations for conservation of momentum of incompressible fluids; the main reason for selecting the CFD method in this application is that the CFD method can obtain accurate solutions to the flow field by establishing mathematical models and iterative calculations, and can flexibly simulate various complex fluid flow problems (such as turbulence).

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, a solid wall model and a rotating-static interface model are set, wherein the rotating-static interface model is a model set at the interface between the rotating part (such as the moving blade) and the stationary part (such as the stationary blade). Generally, the model simulating the interaction at the interface can be a mixed interface model or a slip interface model. As a feasible implementation method, the wall boundary is processed by using a slip wall and a wall function, the circumferential geometric boundary adopts a periodic boundary condition, and the mixed surface method is used to transmit information between different rows.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, when performing the single-channel steady-state CFD calculation of the whole machine based on the target geometric model under the safe operating angles of the multiple stator blades, the turbulence model selects the SA turbulence model to ensure the simulation accuracy and stability; illustratively, the SA turbulence model version selected is the improved version of the classic SA turbulence model SA-PGω-QCR2020. As an implementation reference,

[0052] Step S103, performing structural dynamics modal analysis on the first-stage moving blade and tenon overall model in the target geometric model to obtain the first four-order natural frequencies and vibration modes of the blade.

[0053] In an embodiment of the present application, the finite element software ANSYS is used to perform structural dynamic modal analysis, wherein, in order to ensure the calculation accuracy and period, the calculation model adopts a structured hexahedral unit, the material is X3CrNiMo13-4, the elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, density and other mechanical parameters of the material are set, and the first four-order natural frequencies and vibration modes of the first-stage moving blade and tenon overall model are calculated through finite element analysis; here, a cyclic symmetric model is adopted, and a contact constraint is set between the tenon and the blade root groove, and stress stiffening and rotational softening effects are considered during the analysis process.

[0054] Step S104: performing a steady + unsteady hybrid simulation based on the plurality of stationary blade safe operating angles determined in step S101 to determine the mode and pitch diameter that are most likely to be excited to cause asynchronous vibration.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, in order to save computational cost and computational time, the unsteady + steady hybrid simulation method is adopted, and the unsteady simulation domain only includes the full channel calculation domain of the first-stage moving blades and the directly adjacent blade rows, and the subsequent blade rows are all subjected to single-channel steady simulation, that is, the unsteady simulation domain is the full channel calculation domain of the first-stage moving blades and the directly adjacent blade rows, and the other blade rows except the first-stage moving blades and the directly adjacent blade rows are subjected to single-channel steady simulation. Here, when performing unsteady simulation, the unsteady flow characteristics and the evolution of the spatiotemporal modal characteristics (such as pulsating pressure, modal force frequency, amplitude, and nodal diameter) of the tip area of ​​the first-stage moving blades are analyzed to obtain the unsteady flow excitation frequency and nodal diameter, and the natural frequency determined in the above step S103 is compared with the unsteady flow excitation frequency to determine whether the unsteady flow may excite the corresponding mode of the moving blades and thus cause asynchronous vibration, so as to determine the mode and nodal diameter that are most likely to be excited to cause asynchronous vibration in the judgment process. In the embodiment of the present application, the simulation software high-order aerodynamics internal and external flow solver (High-order AeroDynamic External and internal flow Solver (HADES) performs computational analysis on the unsteady simulation domain and steady simulation domain under multiple assumed safe operating angles of stator blades. Here, HADES is used to perform multiphase flow, fluid-solid interaction, combustion, noise and vibration analysis, etc., to achieve high-precision simulation and analysis of aerodynamic internal and external flows.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, when single-channel steady-state simulation is used for blade rows other than the first-stage moving blades and directly adjacent blade rows, the turbulence model SA-PGω-QCR2020 determined in the implementation content of step S102 is used.

[0057] Step S105: For each of the safe operating angles of the stator blade, a bidirectional fluid-solid coupling simulation is performed based on the steady-state CFD flow field results of the whole machine and the modes and node diameters that are most likely to be excited to cause asynchronous vibrations, to obtain a coupling simulation result, so as to analyze whether a non-integer order vibration aeroelastic phenomenon will occur through the coupling simulation result; wherein, if the coupling simulation result indicates that the non-integer order vibration aeroelastic phenomenon does not occur, then the current safe operating angle of the stator blade is determined to be the minimum safe operating angle.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, when the coupling simulation result is characterized by the occurrence of the non-integer order vibration aeroelastic phenomenon, it is determined that the stator blade angle under the current operating condition is an unsafe stator blade angle; that is, if the frequency-locking and phase-locking phenomenon occurs in the calculation result of step S105, that is, the airflow excitation frequency is locked to the blade natural frequency or the superposition of the natural frequency and the rotation frequency, and enters a limit cycle vibration state with a larger amplitude, and the vibration stress is stably maintained at a high level, it can be determined that the first-stage moving blade has a non-integer order vibration phenomenon, and the stator blade angle of this operating condition is an unsafe stator blade angle. Long-term operation at this angle will cause the blade to fail prematurely.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present application, a coupling interface is used to iterate each other based on the aforementioned CFD simulation and structural dynamics modal analysis, that is, within each time step, the calculation results of the flow field and the structural field are transmitted to each other until the convergence criterion is reached; then, the vibration amplitude and dynamic stress level of the first-stage moving blade under the convergence result are obtained, and the aeroelastic stability of the blade is evaluated by the flow field separation cluster scale characteristics and dynamic stress level, and finally the minimum safe operating angle is determined.

[0060] As a feasible implementation method, the present application uses HADES to perform bidirectional fluid-solid coupling simulation on the model under several possible minimum safe operating angles.

[0061] The method for determining the minimum safe operating angle of an industrial axial compressor provided in the present application analyzes whether the first-stage moving blades will experience non-integral-order vibration aeroelastic phenomena such as frequency locking and phase locking at different stationary blade angles based on a bidirectional fluid-solid coupling method, and determines the minimum safe operating angle of the axial compressor by analyzing its vibration amplitude and dynamic stress level, thereby significantly improving the calculation accuracy of the minimum safe operating angle of the axial compressor, so that industrial axial compressors with modern advanced blade shapes can have stronger adaptability.

[0062] Example 2

[0063] Based on the above embodiment, this embodiment also provides a method for determining the minimum safe operating angle of an industrial axial compressor. Figure 3 An optional flow chart of the method for determining the minimum safe operating angle of an industrial axial compressor provided in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 3As shown, the method of this embodiment includes the following steps S301 to S304 including the following contents:

[0064] Step S301: Perform a single-channel steady-state CFD calculation on the estimated several possible minimum safe operating angles.

[0065] Among them, the inlet and outlet boundary conditions are given for the selected working conditions, the solid wall model and the rotation-static interface model are set, and different turbulence models are selected to obtain the steady CFD flow field of the whole machine.

[0066] Specifically, in the single-channel steady CFD analysis, the inlet boundary conditions are given the total pressure and total temperature, and the outlet boundary conditions are preferentially selected under the simulated exhaust pressure (usually less than 150kPa) under the fully open outlet control valve under deep blocking conditions; at the same time, the accuracy of the steady performance prediction results is evaluated based on the test data to determine the turbulence model that is most suitable for the unsteady simulation of the current type of axial compressor. The most suitable turbulence model for this type of axial compressor is SA-PGω-QCR2020, which is an improved version of the classic SA turbulence model.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, a deep blocking condition with low exhaust pressure is selected, and a steady CFD calculation is performed for the selected condition. The inlet boundary conditions are a total pressure of 101.325 kPa, a total temperature of 288.15 K, and an outlet given static pressure of 150 kPa. The wall boundary is processed by a sliding wall and a wall function, and the circumferential geometric boundary adopts a periodic boundary condition. The mixing surface method is used to transmit information between different rows. Figure 4 The relative Mach number cloud diagrams of the flow field at three typical blade heights at a certain static blade angle are shown below. Figure 5 The schematic diagram of the entropy cloud distribution of the flow section shows that there is a large-scale low-speed and separation group occupying the entire channel in the tip section of the first-stage moving blade. Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the separation vortex morphology when aeroelastic instability exists at the tip of the suction surface of the first-stage moving blade at different stationary blade angles.

[0068] Step S302, perform structural dynamic modal analysis on the first-stage moving blade and tenon overall model, select finite element calculation grid units, elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, density and calculation setting parameters to obtain the first four natural frequencies and vibration modes of the blade vibration.

[0069] In the embodiment of the present application, in order to ensure the calculation accuracy and period, the calculation model adopts structured hexahedral units, the material is X3CrNiMo13-4, a cyclic symmetry model is adopted, a contact constraint is set between the tenon and the blade root groove, and stress stiffening and rotation softening effects are considered during the analysis process. Figure 7 Schematic diagram of the first four vibration modes of the first-stage moving blades of an embodiment of the present application.

[0070] Step S303: Based on the determined turbulence model, use the simulation software HADES to perform unsteady + steady mixed simulation on the several minimum safe operation angles to determine the mode and node diameter of the asynchronous vibration.

[0071] Among them, the unsteady + steady hybrid simulation method is that the unsteady simulation domain only includes the full channel calculation domain of the first-stage moving blades and the directly adjacent blade rows, and the subsequent blade rows adopt single-channel steady simulation; specifically, the unsteady flow characteristics and the evolution of the spatiotemporal modal characteristics (pulsating pressure, modal force frequency, amplitude, and node diameter, etc.) in the tip area of ​​the first-stage moving blade are analyzed, and the modal analysis results and the unsteady flow excitation frequency and node diameter are combined to determine the mode and node diameter that are most likely to be excited to cause asynchronous vibration. Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the axial velocity distribution at a certain moment in the three sections of the blade tip of the unsteady simulation, in which the low-speed airflow blocks the blade tip channel with the characteristics of the aeroelastic phenomenon of asynchronous vibration.

[0072] Step S304, perform a bidirectional fluid-solid coupling simulation on the several possible minimum safe operating angles, obtain the vibration amplitude and dynamic stress level of the first-stage moving blade under the convergence result, evaluate the aeroelastic stability of the blade through the flow field separation cluster scale characteristics and dynamic stress level, and finally determine the minimum safe operating angle of the axial compressor.

[0073] If the frequency-locked and phase-locked phenomenon occurs in the calculation results, that is, the airflow excitation frequency is locked to the blade natural frequency or the superposition of the natural frequency and the rotation frequency, and enters a limit cycle vibration state with a large amplitude, and the vibration stress is stably maintained at a high level, it can be determined that the first-stage moving blade has a non-integral order vibration phenomenon, and the stationary blade angle of this working condition is an unsafe stationary blade angle. Long-term operation at this angle will cause the blade to fail prematurely. If the frequency-locked and phase-locked phenomenon does not occur in the calculation results of step 304, the amplitude and dynamic stress level of the first-stage moving blade are low, and the stationary blade angle of this working condition is a stationary blade angle that can be safely operated. Fig. 9 This is a schematic diagram of the historical trend of dynamic stress and vibration amplitude of five different blades of the first-stage rotor blade. Fig. 9 As shown, when the blade vibration amplitude gradually decreases and the absolute value is maintained at a low level, it can be judged that the stator blade angle of this operating condition is a safe stator blade angle.

[0074] The present application also provides a device 1000 for determining the minimum safe operating angle of an industrial axial compressor, referring to Fig.10 As shown, it may include:

[0075] A determination unit 1001 is used to determine a plurality of safe operating angles of stationary blades corresponding to the industrial axial compressor;

[0076] The whole machine single-channel steady CFD calculation unit 1002 is used to establish a geometric model based on the industrial axial flow compressor, and mesh the geometric model to obtain a target geometric model corresponding to the industrial axial flow compressor, and perform a whole machine single-channel steady CFD calculation based on the target geometric model under the multiple stationary blade safe operation angles after setting the flow field boundary conditions to obtain a whole machine steady CFD flow field result;

[0077] The modal analysis unit 1003 is used to perform structural dynamics modal analysis on the first-stage moving blade and tenon overall model in the target geometric model to obtain the first four-order natural frequencies and vibration modes of the blade vibration;
