Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aircraft engine noise testing technology, and in particular to a method, system, medium, and equipment for monitoring the acoustic signature of an aircraft engine compressor rotating stall. Background Technology

[0002] To improve performance, large aero-engines often increase the single-stage pressure ratio of the compressor while reducing the number of compressor stages. However, this increase in single-stage pressure ratio and reduction in the number of stages inevitably requires increased compressor blade load, leading to flow separation and causing flow instability issues within the compressor, such as rotating stall and surge. The occurrence of airflow path failures like rotating stall and surge severely impacts the stability and safety of aero-engine operation, often resulting in catastrophic consequences.

[0003] Rotating stall can generally be divided into two categories: progressive stall and abrupt stall. When a compressor experiences progressive stall, the pressure ratio gradually decreases without a sudden drop; when a compressor experiences abrupt stall, the pressure in the acoustic field drops abruptly, reflecting a discontinuity in the pressure ratio curve. When airflow stripping occurs at the compressor blade tips, forming a stall air mass at the blade tips, rotating stall will occur and gradually develop along the circumferential and radial directions. The compressor outlet pressure will decrease, and periodic oscillations with higher frequency and lower amplitude will form. When these oscillations develop throughout the entire compressor, they will trigger surge failure.

[0004] Rotating stall not only degrades the performance of aero engines and limits their operating range, but also, once it occurs, the engine is highly likely to shut down immediately, damaging critical engine components. Therefore, accurately identifying and analyzing its fault characteristics is crucial for the maintenance and repair of aero engines. Traditional fault detection methods mainly rely on visual inspection, non-destructive testing techniques, and vibration analysis; however, these methods often have limitations when dealing with compressor rotating stall faults.

[0005] The information disclosed in the background section is only for enhancing the understanding of the background of this invention, and therefore may contain information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This invention provides a method, system, medium, and equipment for monitoring the acoustic signature of aero-engine compressor rotating stall. It employs a ring acoustic array to measure acoustic signals and uses a spectrum analysis module and an acoustic mode decomposition module to convert the acoustic signal from the time domain to the wavenumber domain, obtaining a more effective acoustic signature for rotating stall detection. This achieves the conversion of the sound field signal from the time domain to the frequency domain to the wavenumber domain, fully extracting the acoustic signal fault characteristics when a rotating stall fault occurs for identification.

[0007] A method for monitoring the acoustic signature of rotating stall in an aero-engine compressor includes:

[0008] In the first step, the microphone array layout is determined using the compressor model parameters of the aero-engine, based on the number of compressor rotor blades. With the number of stator blades Calculate the order of the transition-to-static interference mode of compressor single-tone noise Based on the order of the static interference mode The maximum modal order determines the acoustic modal monitoring range and the number of microphones. and the circumferential mounting angle of the microphone ;

[0009] In the second step, through the number of microphones and the installation angle of the microphone Construct a microphone array; synchronously acquire the multi-channel sound pressure time-domain signals of the aero-engine compressor using the microphone array; construct a time-domain signal matrix by arranging the multi-channel sound pressure time-domain signals in sequence;

[0010] In the third step, the fast Fourier transform algorithm is used to perform spectral analysis on the sound pressure time domain signal to obtain the spectrum of the sound pressure time domain signal of each channel. By monitoring the spectrum, it is found that there are abnormal single-tone frequency peaks below 1 times the frequency. If there are no abnormal single-tone frequency peaks, it means that the compressor is in normal working condition. If there are abnormal single-tone frequency peaks, it will proceed to the fourth step.

[0011] In the fourth step, the acoustic mode spectrum of the abnormal single-tone frequency peak is obtained by the single-frequency acoustic mode decomposition method. The presence of compressor rotating stall characteristics in the acoustic mode spectrum is monitored to determine whether the compressor is experiencing rotating stall. When the compressor experiences rotating stall characteristics under supersonic conditions, the rotating stall characteristic frequency with a frequency component lower than 1 times the rotational frequency and an acoustic mode order of 1 appears in the wavenumber domain.

The horizontal axis of the spectrum represents the frequency analysis range, the vertical axis represents the acoustic mode monitoring range, and the color intensity represents the amplitude. The darker the color, the larger the amplitude. By monitoring whether the compressor rotating stall characteristics appear in the spectrum, it can be further determined whether the compressor is experiencing rotating stall. When the compressor experiences rotating stall under supersonic conditions, the abnormal sound source of rotating stall and its harmonics appear in the spectrum, and they are all non-integer multiples of the rotational frequency. At the same time, there are oblique bright band components of the acoustic mode starting from the modal order of 1, corresponding to the rotating stall characteristic frequency and its harmonics.

Taking the microphone signal as an example, in Figure 3(a) when there is no rotating stall, the main components of the spectrum are the rotation frequency and its harmonics. In Figures 3(b) and 3(c) when there is rotating stall, the spectrum contains only the blade passing frequency. With frequency conversion, abnormal peak values ​​appear at frequencies less than 1 times the frequency conversion.
