Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of thermal protection and aerodynamic cooling of high-temperature components of aircraft engines, and relates to a multi-physics field coupled air film cooling structure for ceramic matrix composite components, and specifically to an air film hole layout structure for ceramic matrix composite components taking coating shedding into consideration. Background Art
[0002] As aircraft engine performance improves and combustion chamber temperatures rise, thermal protection technology for high-temperature components becomes increasingly critical. Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), applied as functional coatings on turbine blade surfaces, utilize ceramic materials such as yttria-stabilized zirconia. These coatings can reduce the operating temperature of the blade substrate by 100-300K, effectively alleviating thermal stress and fatigue. Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are ideal materials for the hot-end components of new-generation aircraft engines due to their low density and high-temperature resistance. However, they are susceptible to oxidation, sulfidation, and water vapor reactions in high-temperature combustion gases. Environmental barrier coatings (EBCs) developed for this purpose protect the CMC substrate from corrosive gases while also providing thermal insulation. However, under extreme service conditions, TBCs / EBCs are subject to multiple damages, including high-temperature oxidative corrosion, mechanical erosion, and airflow scouring. Coupled with inherent coating defects, these coatings are prone to cracking and flaking under the coupled effects of thermal cycling and mechanical loads, exposing the substrate and significantly increasing the risk of failure.
[0003] Film cooling technology is another key means of protecting engine hot-end components. Film cooling involves injecting cold air into the main flow along a specific direction near the wall. Under the pressure and friction of the main flow, this cool air bends downstream and adheres to the wall, forming a cooler air film. This film isolates the wall from the hot gas and removes some of the radiant heat from the hot gas or bright flame, thereby effectively protecting the wall. However, traditional film hole layouts are typically designed for homogeneous materials and fail to consider the anisotropic thermal conductivity of ceramic matrix composites (CMCs). This can lead to high temperature gradients in the components and cause coating delamination. Directly transferring existing film hole layouts to CMCs presents the following problems: Because the impact of the CMC's anisotropic thermal conductivity on the temperature gradient within the CMC component and the overall film cooling effect is not considered, the temperature gradient within the CMC component is higher than that of traditional metal materials, accelerating coating delamination and exposing the CMC substrate directly to the hot gas, leading to CMC substrate failure. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an air film hole layout structure for ceramic matrix composite components that takes into account coating shedding, so as to solve the technical problem in the existing technology that the CMC substrate is easily failed after the coating shedding due to excessive temperature gradient on the surface of the ceramic matrix composite component under harsh service environment of high temperature and high pressure.

[0034] The specific contents of the present invention are further explained in detail below with reference to the embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0035] In this context, the term "high temperature gradient region" refers to the area of the CMC component where the temperature gradient is greater than or equal to 1200K / m during operation. Coatings in this area are susceptible to shedding due to excessive temperature differences per unit distance. The term "low temperature gradient region" refers to the area of the CMC component where the temperature gradient is less than or equal to 1200K / m during operation. The temperature differences per unit distance in this area are not significant, so coatings are also less susceptible to shedding.

[0050] Comparative Example 1 Yarn combination hole:
[0051] This comparative example provides a layout structure of air film holes for ceramic-based composite components taking into account coating shedding. The layout structure of air film holes is arranged on a ceramic-based composite plate; Figure 3 As shown, the structure is basically the same as that of Example 1, with the difference that the forward-inclined expansion hole 4 and the circular air film hole 5 are both opened on the yarn 2.
[0052] Comparative Example 2: Circular hole of substrate:
[0053] This comparative example provides a layout structure of air film holes for ceramic-based composite components taking into account coating shedding. The layout structure of air film holes is arranged on a ceramic-based composite plate; Figure 4 As shown, the ceramic-based composite plate includes a substrate 3 and yarns 2, and the outer surface of the substrate 3 is coated with a coating 1;
[0054] The ceramic-based composite plate includes a high temperature gradient region and a low temperature gradient region. Both the high temperature gradient region and the low temperature gradient region are provided with a plurality of circular air film holes 5 to form a matrix structure. The circular air film holes 5 are opened on the substrate 3.
[0055] In this embodiment, the structure and arrangement spacing of the circular air film holes 5 are exactly the same as those in embodiment 1.
[0056] Comparative Example 3 Yarn Hole:
[0057] This comparative example provides a layout structure of air film holes for ceramic-based composite components taking into account coating shedding. The layout structure of air film holes is arranged on a ceramic-based composite plate; Figure 4 As shown, the structure is basically the same as that of comparative example 2, with the difference being that the circular air film hole 5 is opened on the yarn 2.
[0058] Effect verification:
[0059] In order to verify the effect of the present invention on the temperature gradient and the comprehensive cooling efficiency, a computer simulation comparison was conducted on the four air film hole layout structures of Example 1, Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2 and Comparative Example 3. The simulation parameters are as follows: the mainstream air flow velocity is 15m / s, the mainstream inlet temperature is 450K, the secondary flow temperature is 300K, and the flow rate meets the blowing ratio of 0.8. The simulation results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown.
[0060] Depend on Figure 6 and Figure 7 It can be seen that when the film hole layout is cylindrical, the temperature gradient on the flat plate surface is large and primarily concentrated in areas not covered by the cylindrical film hole layout. Compared to the flat plate surface temperature gradient with the cylindrical film hole layout, the combined layout of forward-inclined fan-shaped holes and cylindrical film holes significantly reduces the temperature gradient. The surface average temperature gradients of the yarn combination holes and the matrix combination holes are reduced by 9.3% and 8.9%, respectively, compared to the yarn circular holes. Clearly, this film hole layout scheme can effectively reduce the temperature gradient on the flat plate.
[0061] Depend on Figure 8 and Figure 9 It can be seen that when the air film hole layout is the base combination hole embodiment 1, the overall cooling efficiency is improved to a certain extent compared with the yarn circular hole comparison example 3 and the base circular hole comparison example 2, and the overall cooling efficiency is improved by about 2% compared with the yarn circular hole. However, the yarn combination hole comparison example 1 has a lower overall cooling efficiency than the air film hole layout scheme of the comparative example, a decrease of about 1.6%. Clearly, this air film hole layout scheme does not meet the expected effect requirements.
[0062] In summary, when the air film hole layout is the base combination hole of Example 1, it can meet the requirements of achieving the effect of reducing the temperature gradient and maintaining or increasing the comprehensive cooling effect.
