Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention proposes a design method for an asymmetric guide vane diffuser for a centrifugal compressor, and belongs to the technical field of distributed new energy and aviation power. Background Art
[0002] Centrifugal compressors have the advantages of compact structure and large compression ratio. As a supercharging component, they can be widely used in gas turbine aircraft engines and other fields. When the airflow passes through the centrifugal compressor rotor blades to do work, it has a large kinetic energy. It is often necessary to use a diffuser to further decelerate and supercharge the airflow, and then the volute guides the airflow to the single-tube combustion chamber. The traditional diffuser blades are designed to be centrally symmetrical. After being connected to the volute, the boundary conditions of the blade outlets at different circumferential positions are not consistent, resulting in differences in the actual loads of the blades. Since the blades do not work at the optimal state point, it eventually causes problems such as increased flow losses inside the diffuser and limited pressure diffusion capacity. This proposal proposes a design method for an asymmetric guide vane diffuser. By designing the diffuser guide vanes asymmetrically, the aerodynamic loads of different guide vanes are reasonably distributed. Compared with the traditional axisymmetric uniformly distributed guide vane diffuser, the design method proposed in the present invention suppresses the flow separation inside the diffuser to a certain extent, reduces the flow loss, and has the potential to improve the stable working range of the centrifugal compressor.

[0053] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0054] One embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 3 As shown, a design method for an asymmetric guide vane diffuser for a centrifugal compressor is characterized in that the method comprises:
[0055] S1. Determine the basic size and shape of the diffuser based on the outlet airflow conditions of the centrifugal compressor; determine the design requirements of the asymmetric guide vanes based on the connection method between the diffuser and the volute;
[0056] S2. According to the number of blades, determine the number and initial position of the blades, and adjust the angle and position of the blades according to the airflow conditions and the blade outlet boundary requirements;
[0057] S3. Based on the preliminary design, calculate the geometric parameters of the blade, wherein the geometric parameters include the trailing edge distance, the included angle, and the coordinates of the mid-arc line; and gradually optimize the geometric parameters by an iterative calculation method;
[0058] S4. Perform flow field analysis on the optimized blades through numerical simulation software, evaluate the aerodynamic performance of the blades according to the numerical simulation results, and further optimize the design based on the evaluation results;
[0059] S5. Based on the final optimization results, develop detailed blade manufacturing drawings and processes, and manufacture and test the blades.
[0060] For example: Take the double-outlet volute diffuser as an example. Figure 1 As shown, the diffuser outlet is connected to two centrally symmetrical volutes. The airflow from the centrifugal compressor enters the diffuser from the inlet, is guided by the asymmetric diffuser guide vanes, and then enters the volute. The following is the method for determining the geometry of the asymmetric diffuser.
[0061] by Figure 2 For example, on the XY plane, the diffuser inlet is circular, with a corresponding radius of r2; the leading edge of the diffuser guide vane is on a circle with a radius of r3; the interface between the diffuser and the volute is circular, with a corresponding radius of r5. In addition, the diffuser channel height is d. The angle between the absolute velocity direction of the airflow at the diffuser inlet and the radial direction is α2. According to the principles of gas dynamics, the angle α3 between the absolute velocity direction of the airflow at the leading edge of the blade and the radial direction is approximately equal to α2, that is, α3=α2 approximately.
[0062] The number of diffuser blades is generally 1 to 5 less than the number of compressor blades, and the greatest common divisor of the number of diffuser blades and the compressor blades must be 1. Figure 2 In the figure, 10 blades are used as an example. Since the two volutes are symmetrically distributed, after determining the positions of the five blades in the semicircle, the geometry of the entire circumference of the diffuser can be obtained by rotation and replication.
[0063] The five asymmetric blades V1 to V5 are numbered from 1 to 5, and the angle between the line connecting the leading edge of the blade and the coordinate origin O and OX is θ i For blade numbered i, the distance r between the trailing edge and the coordinate origin O is 4,i , the angle between the tangent line at the trailing edge and the radial direction α 4,i , mid-arc coordinates (XC,i ,Y C,i ), suction surface coordinates (X SS,i ,Y SS,i ), pressure surface coordinates (X PS,i ,Y PS,i ) are all θ i The function is:
[0064] (r 4,i ,α 4,i ,X C,i ,Y C,i ,X SS,i ,Y SS,i ,X PS,i ,Y PS,i )=f(θ i )
[0065] The determination method of each parameter is as follows:
[0066] 1. Specify r 4,i In general, r 4,i is a constant, that is, the trailing edge of the blade is on the same radius circle.
[0067] 2. Determine θ i In general, θ i+1 -θ i It decreases as i increases.
[0068] 3. Specify α 4,i In general, α 4,i With θ i There is a linear relationship.
[0069] 4. Determine the coordinates of the mid-arc. C,i The angle α between the tangent line at point C on the mid-arc and the radial direction C,i ,but:

[0074] Where R i The radius of the arc corresponding to the median arc in polar coordinates:
[0075]
[0076] 5. Determine the coordinates of the suction and pressure surfaces. The dimensionless relative offset of the diffuser blade profile is The suction surface coordinates (X SS,i ,Y SS,i ):
[0077]
[0078]
[0079] The pressure surface coordinates (X PS,i ,Y PS,i ):
[0080]
[0081]
[0082] The above determines the entire geometry of the asymmetric guide vane diffuser.
[0083] The working principle of the above technical solution is: according to the outlet airflow conditions of the centrifugal compressor (such as flow velocity, flow rate, pressure, etc.), the basic size (such as diameter, length, etc.) and overall shape of the diffuser are determined by using the principles of fluid mechanics and the working principle of the centrifugal compressor; considering the connection method between the diffuser and the volute (such as direct connection, transition section connection, etc.), and the asymmetry of the flow field inside the volute, the design requirements of the asymmetric guide vane are determined. According to the number of blades, the blades are numbered and the initial position of each blade is determined. The initial position is determined based on the overall size and shape of the diffuser and the principle of uniform distribution of the blades; according to the airflow conditions and the requirements of the blade outlet boundary (such as outlet flow velocity, outlet angle, etc.), the angle and position of the blade are adjusted, and based on the preliminary design, the geometric parameters of the blade are calculated, including the trailing edge distance, angle, and mid-arc coordinates. These parameters have an important influence on the aerodynamic performance of the blade; the geometric parameters of the blade are gradually optimized using an iterative calculation method. The optimized blade is analyzed for flow field using numerical simulation software (such as CFD software). Simulate the airflow conditions of the blades under actual working conditions, including flow velocity, pressure distribution, etc.; evaluate the aerodynamic performance of the blades based on the numerical simulation results. Evaluation indicators usually include flow efficiency, pressure loss, stability, etc.; based on the evaluation results, further optimize the design. Involves fine-tuning of the blade geometry parameters, or improvements to the overall structure of the diffuser; based on the final optimization results, develop detailed blade manufacturing drawings and processes.

Tests usually include performance tests (such as aerodynamic performance, mechanical properties, etc.) and durability tests (such as fatigue tests, corrosion resistance tests, etc.).
[0084] The effects of the above technical scheme are as follows: by determining the basic size and shape of the diffuser based on the outlet airflow conditions of the centrifugal compressor, the airflow distribution inside the diffuser can be ensured to be more reasonable; the design of the asymmetric guide vane can better adapt to the asymmetry of the flow field inside the volute, reducing the turbulence and loss of the airflow inside the diffuser; adjusting the blade angle and position according to the airflow conditions and the blade outlet boundary requirements can ensure that the blade guides the airflow in the best posture and improves the aerodynamic performance; optimizing the blade geometric parameters through iterative calculation methods can further reduce flow losses and improve the diffusion efficiency; the design of the asymmetric guide vane helps to reduce the airflow separation and vortex structure inside the diffuser, thereby improving the stability of the diffuser; through the flow field analysis of the blade by numerical simulation software, potential unstable factors can be discovered and resolved in time to ensure that the diffuser can operate stably under various working conditions; detailed blade manufacturing drawings and process formulation can be Ensure the manufacturing accuracy and quality of the blades, and reduce performance degradation or failures caused by manufacturing errors; strict control of the manufacturing and testing links can further verify the reliability and durability of the blades, and ensure that there will be no serious problems during long-term use; through numerical simulation software, flow field analysis and aerodynamic performance evaluation of the blades can be carried out, problems can be found and optimized in the early stage of design, thereby reducing the number of design iterations and reducing design costs; detailed blade manufacturing drawings and process formulation can guide the manufacturing process, improve manufacturing efficiency and reduce manufacturing costs; this design method can flexibly adjust the design parameters of the diffuser and blades according to different centrifugal compressor outlet airflow conditions and volute connection methods, and has strong adaptability; this asymmetric guide vane diffuser design method is not only suitable for traditional centrifugal compressors, but can also be applied to power systems in the fields of aviation, ships, etc., as well as equipment such as turbochargers, and has broad application prospects.

[0096] S14. According to the connection method between the diffuser and the volute and the airflow conditions, the number, distribution and basic shape of the asymmetric guide vanes are preliminarily set.
[0097] The working principle of the above technical solution is: through the sensor installed at the outlet of the centrifugal compressor, the key parameters of the airflow, including airflow velocity, pressure, temperature and airflow direction, are collected in real time. Based on the collected airflow data, the basic dimensions of the diffuser are calculated using the principles of gas dynamics. Including key parameters such as inlet diameter, outlet diameter, and channel height. During the calculation process, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the influence of parameters such as airflow velocity, pressure, and temperature on the performance of the diffuser to ensure that the diffuser can meet the outlet airflow conditions of the centrifugal compressor and achieve effective airflow deceleration and supercharging; the connection structure between the diffuser and the volute is analyzed in detail, including parameters such as the angle, curvature, and sealing method of the connection. At the same time, according to the shape of the volute and the airflow conditions, the design requirements of the asymmetric guide vanes are clarified, including the need to match the shape of the volute to reduce flow losses and improve the efficiency and stability of airflow through the diffuser; according to the connection method between the diffuser and the volute and the airflow conditions, the number, distribution, and basic shape of the asymmetric guide vanes are preliminarily set. At the same time, the basic shape of the asymmetric guide vanes also needs to be customized according to the shape of the volute and the airflow conditions to reduce flow losses and improve aerodynamic performance.
[0098] The effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the key parameters such as the airflow velocity, pressure, temperature and airflow direction at the outlet of the centrifugal compressor are collected in real time through high-precision sensors, ensuring the accuracy and timeliness of the data; the basic dimensions of the diffuser are calculated using the principles of gas dynamics, ensuring the scientificity and rationality of the diffuser design; through precise calculations, it can be ensured that the diffuser can meet the outlet airflow conditions of the centrifugal compressor and achieve effective deceleration and pressure increase of the airflow; the connection structure between the diffuser and the volute is analyzed in detail, including parameters such as the angle, curvature and sealing method of the connection, ensuring the stability and Reliability; Based on the shape of the volute and the airflow conditions, the design requirements of the asymmetric guide vanes are clarified, including matching the shape of the volute and reducing flow losses; Based on the connection method between the diffuser and the volute and the airflow conditions, the number, distribution and basic shape of the asymmetric guide vanes are preliminarily set; Through precise data collection and analysis, as well as calculations based on gas dynamics principles, problems can be discovered and optimized in the early stages of the design; The optimized diffuser and asymmetric guide vane design help to improve the efficiency and stability of the airflow through the diffuser; Through precise design and optimization, the diffuser can be ensured to operate stably under various operating conditions.

[0103] S24. On the basis of adjusting the blade angle, the position of the blade in the diffuser is further optimized.
[0104] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: first determine the number of blades according to the size and design requirements of the diffuser. The selection of the number of blades needs to comprehensively consider the size of the diffuser, the airflow conditions and the expected diffusion efficiency. Too many blades may increase the flow resistance, while too few blades may not be able to effectively guide the airflow. After determining the number of blades, the blades are numbered according to certain rules, such as numbering them clockwise, so that each blade can be accurately identified and located; the position of the blades in the diffuser is preliminarily set according to the geometry and airflow conditions of the diffuser. Including the leading edge, trailing edge and relative position between the blades. The position of the blades needs to ensure that they can effectively guide the airflow while avoiding excessive flow resistance or vortex structure. The preliminary set position can be determined by empirical formula, analog design or preliminary simulation; based on the airflow conditions and the requirements of the blade outlet boundary, a preliminary simulation is performed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. CFD software can simulate the flow of airflow in the diffuser, including the distribution of parameters such as velocity, pressure, and temperature. Through the simulation results, the influence of blade angle on airflow flow can be analyzed, including whether the airflow is smooth, whether there is a vortex structure, whether the flow loss is too large, etc. Based on the analysis results, the blade angle is adjusted to reduce flow losses and improve the efficiency of the diffuser. The blade angle can be adjusted by changing the inclination angle, torsion angle and other parameters of the blade; on the basis of adjusting the blade angle, the position of the blade in the diffuser is further optimized. This includes adjusting the leading edge and trailing edge positions of the blades and the relative positions between the blades. The purpose of the optimization is to ensure that the blades can better guide the airflow, reduce flow resistance, and improve the overall performance of the diffuser. The optimization process can be achieved through multiple simulations and iterations, and each iteration fine-tunes the blade position according to the simulation results until the best performance is achieved.
[0105] The effects of the above technical solution are as follows: according to the size and design requirements of the diffuser, the number of blades is accurately determined and numbered according to the rules, providing a clear and orderly basis for subsequent design and optimization work; the application of the numbering rules allows each blade to be accurately identified and located, avoiding confusion and errors in the design process; based on the geometric shape and airflow conditions of the diffuser, the blade position is preliminarily set to ensure the rationality and effectiveness of the blade layout; the preliminarily set position provides a starting point for subsequent optimization work, reducing the blindness and trial and error costs in the design process; using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software for preliminary simulation, it is possible to accurately analyze the impact of blade angles on airflow; the simulation results provide detailed distribution information of airflow velocity, pressure, temperature and other parameters, It provides a scientific basis for adjusting the blade angle; based on the CFD simulation results, the blade angle is adjusted to reduce flow losses and improve diffusion efficiency; the adjusted blade angle can guide the airflow more effectively, reduce adverse factors such as vortices and turbulence, and improve the smoothness and stability of airflow; on the basis of adjusting the blade angle, the position of the blade in the diffuser is further optimized; the optimized blade position can better match the airflow conditions, ensure that the blade can better guide the airflow, reduce flow resistance, and improve the overall performance of the diffuser; by optimizing the number, position and angle of the blades, the energy consumption and cost of the diffuser during operation can be reduced; a more efficient diffuser can reduce energy waste, reduce operating costs, and at the same time improve the reliability and service life of the equipment.
[0106] In one embodiment of the present invention, the S23 includes:
[0107] S231, constructing a three-dimensional geometric model through CAD software according to the actual size, blade shape and initially set position of the diffuser, and importing the geometric model into CFD software to set boundary conditions;
[0108] S232, perform high-quality meshing on the constructed CFD model and verify mesh independence.
[0109] S233, performing CFD simulation to analyze key parameters of airflow passing through the diffuser, including velocity field, pressure field, and turbulence intensity; focusing on the influence of blade angle on airflow path, separation phenomenon, energy loss, and diffusion efficiency, and displaying the flow state of airflow between blades through visualization tools;
[0110] S234. Based on the preliminary simulation results, the main areas causing flow loss (such as airflow separation areas and high turbulence areas) are identified, and the parameters of the blades are adjusted one by one through sensitivity analysis. The parameters of the blades include the angle of attack and the installation angle.
[0111] S235, and, after each adjustment, a new round of CFD simulation is performed, and the blade angle is gradually optimized through multiple iterations until a predetermined performance improvement target is achieved; the improvement target includes significantly reducing the total pressure loss;
[0112] S236. During the optimization process, dynamic simulation is introduced to consider the influence of the unsteady effects of blade rotation or periodic changes on the airflow, so as to be closer to the actual application scenario. At the same time, for diffusers that may involve gas-liquid or gas-solid two-phase flow, it is also necessary to consider the influence of the presence of particles or droplets on the flow characteristics, and simulate through multiphase flow models to further refine the optimization strategy.
[0113] S237. After completing all iterative optimizations, conduct a comprehensive performance evaluation of the final diffuser design, including key indicators such as diffusion efficiency, flow stability, and pressure recovery capability. If necessary, verify the accuracy of the CFD simulation results through laboratory experiments or field tests, and make necessary fine-tuning based on the measured data.
[0114] The working principle of the above technical solution is: according to the actual size of the diffuser, the shape of the blades and the initially set position, an accurate three-dimensional geometric model is constructed using CAD software. This model is then imported into the CFD software for subsequent simulation analysis. In the CFD software, reasonable boundary conditions need to be set, including inlet airflow velocity, temperature, pressure distribution and outlet back pressure, etc. High-quality meshing of the constructed CFD model is the key to successful simulation. Special attention is paid to the blade surface and nearby areas, because the airflow flow in these areas is complex and requires higher calculation accuracy. Therefore, an encrypted grid strategy is adopted to improve the calculation accuracy of these areas. At the same time, grid independence verification is performed to ensure that the accuracy of the simulation results is not affected by the grid density. This is achieved by comparing the simulation results under different grid densities. When the result difference is within an acceptable range, the grid division can be considered reasonable; CFD simulation is performed to analyze the key parameters of the airflow passing through the diffuser. The key parameters include velocity field, pressure field and turbulence intensity, which can reflect the flow state and energy loss of the airflow in the diffuser. Focus on the influence of blade angle on airflow path, separation phenomenon, energy loss and diffusion efficiency. Through visualization tools such as streamlines, velocity cloud maps, and pressure cloud maps, the flow state of the airflow between the blades is intuitively displayed. Based on the preliminary simulation results, the main areas that cause flow losses, such as airflow separation areas and high turbulence areas, are identified. Through sensitivity analysis, the parameters of the blades, including the angle of attack and the installation angle, are adjusted one by one to improve the airflow and reduce energy loss. When adjusting the parameters, it is necessary to consider their impact on performance indicators such as diffusion efficiency and flow stability; after each adjustment of the blade parameters, a new round of CFD simulation is required to evaluate the optimization effect. Through multiple iterations, the blade angle is gradually optimized until the predetermined performance improvement target is achieved. During the iteration process, it is necessary to continuously compare the simulation results under different schemes to determine the optimal blade angle combination; during the optimization process, it is also necessary to consider the impact of the unsteady effects of blade rotation or periodic changes on the airflow. Therefore, dynamic simulation is introduced to be closer to the actual application scenario. For diffusers that may involve gas-liquid or gas-solid two-phase flow, it is also necessary to consider the impact of the presence of particles or droplets on the flow characteristics. Through simulation with multiphase flow model, the optimization strategy can be further refined and the accuracy of simulation results can be improved. After all iterative optimizations are completed, the final designed diffuser is comprehensively evaluated for performance. This includes key indicators such as diffusion efficiency, flow stability, and pressure recovery capability. If necessary, the accuracy of CFD simulation results is verified through laboratory experiments or field tests. Experimental data can provide strong support for fine-tuning design parameters to ensure that the performance of the diffuser in actual applications meets expectations.

[0136]
[0137] Among them, V2 and V5 are the inlet and outlet velocities of the diffuser respectively.
[0138] The working principle of the above technical solution is: according to the complexity of the diffuser (such as the complexity of the geometric shape, the complexity of the flow characteristics, etc.) and the available computing resources (such as computing power, storage space, time limit, etc.), select the appropriate numerical simulation software. For example, suppose there is a diffuser with complex geometry and variable flow characteristics, and the computing resources are limited. In this case, ANSYS CFX or Fluent can be selected for simulation. Both software have the ability to handle complex geometries and flow characteristics, and provide a variety of optimization algorithms and parallel computing capabilities, which can reduce the demand for computing resources to a certain extent. At the same time, they both have powerful post-processing capabilities, which can easily analyze the simulation results and extract useful information. Ensure that the selected software can accurately simulate the flow conditions inside the diffuser; set the parameters of the numerical simulation according to the actual operating conditions of the diffuser (such as inlet flow velocity, pressure, temperature, etc.) and design requirements (such as expected diffusion efficiency, flow loss limitation, etc.); the parameters include inlet conditions, outlet conditions (such as outlet pressure, flow velocity, etc.), boundary conditions (such as wall conditions, boundaries of the flow area, etc.) and solution algorithms (such as numerical methods in computational fluid dynamics, such as finite volume method, finite difference method, etc.).

The simulation process calculates the flow of airflow inside the diffuser, including velocity distribution (i.e., the velocity and direction of the airflow at different locations), pressure distribution (i.e., the pressure value of the airflow at different locations), and vortex structure (such as the formation, development, and dissipation of vortices). Based on the numerical simulation results, the aerodynamic performance of the blades is evaluated. The key indicators of the blades’ pressure diffusion efficiency (i.e., the ratio of the pressure increase after the airflow passes through the blades to the input energy), flow losses (such as energy losses caused by friction, vortices, etc.), and stability (such as the adhesion of the airflow on the blades, whether separation occurs, etc.) are analyzed. Based on the evaluation results of aerodynamic performance, the blade design is further optimized. This may involve adjusting the blade’s geometric parameters (such as length, width, angle, etc.), shape (such as curvature, cross-sectional shape, etc.), or position (such as relative to the diffuser inlet or outlet).

This helps engineers quickly identify the advantages and disadvantages of the design and make targeted improvements; through specific numerical results, they can more intuitively understand how the design parameters affect the performance of the blade, thereby guiding subsequent design optimization. For example, if the flow loss is found to be too large, the geometric parameters, shape or position of the blade can be adjusted; unified evaluation criteria make it easier to compare different design schemes.This helps to select the best design from multiple alternatives; the formula not only takes into account the ideal state in theory, but also combines the performance data under actual operating conditions, making the evaluation results closer to practical applications; by providing a unified evaluation framework, it can help professionals from different backgrounds (such as mechanical engineers, fluid mechanics experts, etc.) to better collaborate and jointly optimize the design. By using the above formula for evaluation, it can effectively help designers make more scientific and reasonable decisions when optimizing blade performance. It can not only improve the efficiency of the diffuser, but also reduce flow losses and enhance the stability of the system, thereby improving the performance and reliability of the overall equipment.
