Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of high-efficiency cooling design of turbomachinery, and particularly relates to a design method for preventing blockage and improving film cooling based on a reserved expansion angle. BACKGROUND

[0002] The high-pressure turbine guide vane of an aero-engine works in an extremely high-temperature gas environment for a long time, and has extremely high thermal load, so it must rely on efficient external cooling technology to ensure structural reliability and service life. At present, the mainstream technology is to open film holes on the surface of the turbine blade and spray thermal barrier coating (TBC), to form a heat-insulating cooling gas layer through the film, and to increase the additional thermal resistance by using the low thermal conductivity of the coating, so as to jointly protect the base material. The two external cooling methods interact with each other and may not fully exert the cooling effect of a single cooling method.

[0003] However, in the actual manufacturing process, in order to avoid the requirement of electrical discharge machining on the electrical conductivity of the coating, the process of "first making holes and then spraying" is generally adopted. This process inevitably causes the thermal barrier coating material to enter the inside of the film hole, especially to form a pile-up blockage at the outlet area, significantly reducing the outlet area of the effective cooling gas flow, and the jet is more likely to blow away from the wall under high blowing ratio, causing the cooling design to be inaccurate. Therefore, under the premise of considering hole blockage, the design method of suppressing hole blockage caused by spraying to reduce cooling is the key to avoiding overestimating the actual cooling performance and ensuring the efficient cooling of the turbine.

[0004] The turbine of an aero-engine widely adopts expansion-type film holes, and the hole blockage caused by spraying has a significant impact on the cooling performance of the expansion-type film hole. In "Effect of particle deposition on film cooling from fan-shaped holes" (International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 2021, Vol. 181, Article No. 122028), the authors show the film cooling performance of the fan-shaped hole after blockage. When the height of the blockage in the hole reaches or exceeds half of the diameter of the film hole, a significant contraction of the cooling area and blowing off of the film can be observed, resulting in a decrease in film coverage efficiency and a significant deterioration of cooling performance, and in severe cases, even causing local overheating and threatening the safety of the blade.

[0005] In summary, under the background of thermal barrier coating spraying leading to film hole blockage, the existing technology is mostly focused on passive structure expansion or aerodynamic additional devices, and lacks a method based on predictive modeling that can quantitatively compensate for the impact of blockage at the foresight design stage. Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art for a design method that can accurately reserve the expansion angle and ensure that the outlet area of the film hole remains unchanged after blockage, so as to fundamentally guarantee the realization of the film cooling efficiency under the design condition. SUMMARY

[0006] Technical problems to be solved: In order to avoid the shortcomings of the prior art, the present application provides a design method for preventing blockage and improving gas film cooling based on a reserved expansion angle. According to the structural parameters of the initial forward-tilted fan-shaped gas film hole, such as the hole diameter, the expansion starting position, and the hole tilt angle, the geometry and the blockage modeling method of the expansion-type gas film hole are determined, and the functional relationship between the flow direction expansion angle after blockage and the blockage height is constructed to ensure that the same gas film hole outlet area is used to solve the equation set corresponding to the functional relationship to obtain the flow direction expansion angle after the reserved angle, and then provide a basis for preventing the blockage of the forward-tilted fan-shaped gas film hole caused by the cooling performance decline. The present application predicts and compensates the influence of the thermal barrier coating blockage on the gas film hole outlet area in the design stage by the method of reserved expansion angle + mathematical model + iterative algorithm, solves the problems that the coating will enter the gas film hole and accumulate at the outlet during the thermal barrier coating spraying process, resulting in a decrease in the effective flow area, a blockage of the cooling airflow, and a decrease in the cooling efficiency.

[0007] The technical solution of the present application is: a design method for preventing blockage and improving gas film cooling based on a reserved expansion angle, comprising the following steps: Determine the structural parameters of the initial forward-tilted fan-shaped gas film hole, the structural parameters including the cylindrical segment diameter, the length-diameter ratio, the hole tilt angle, the initial flow direction expansion angle, and the proportion of the cylindrical segment to the total hole length of the initial forward-tilted fan-shaped gas film hole; Determine the blockage height based on the thermal barrier coating thickness, and establish a blockage geometry model at the outlet of the forward-tilted fan-shaped gas film hole; Based on the structural parameters of the initial forward-tilted fan-shaped gas film hole, calculate the length of the extension part of the forward-tilted fan-shaped gas film hole tilt angle in the flow direction expansion segment; According to the length of the extension part, calculate the length of the line connecting the expansion starting position and the expansion ending position on the symmetry plane of the forward-tilted fan-shaped gas film hole; With the core constraint condition that the outlet area of the blocked forward-tilted fan-shaped gas film hole remains equal to the outlet area of the initial forward-tilted fan-shaped gas film hole, the flow direction expansion angle after blockage is defined to remain consistent with the initial flow direction expansion angle; the flow direction expansion angle after blockage is the included angle between the line connecting the expansion starting position to the outlet blockage and the axis of the cylindrical segment; Based on the blockage geometry model and the blockage height, an optimization function of the flow direction expansion angle is established, i.e. the functional relationship between the optimized flow direction expansion angle and the line length; The calculation result of the line length and the functional relationship are combined to construct a solving equation with the optimized flow direction expansion angle as the only unknown; The numerical iterative algorithm is used to solve the above equation to obtain the numerical solution of the optimized flow direction expansion angle, i.e. the forward-tilted fan-shaped gas film hole based on the reserved expansion angle; The optimized flow direction expansion angle is used as the final design value to complete the design of the forward-tilting fan-shaped air film hole.

[0008] A further technical solution of the present application is that the method for establishing the blockage geometric model is that the intersection of the downward vertical line of the upper end point on the leeward side of the symmetric plane of the forward-tilting fan-shaped air film hole and the flow direction expansion segment is the starting position of the blockage, a blockage profile line parallel to the wall surface of the flow direction expansion segment is drawn through the intersection, and a tangent circular arc is used to smoothly connect the starting position and the blockage profile line.

[0009] A further technical solution of the present application is that the flow direction expansion angle optimization function is expressed as:

[0012] In the formula, D D represents the diameter of the cylindrical segment of the forward-tilting fan-shaped air film hole; L d L / D represents the length-diameter ratio; L cy D / L represents the proportion of the cylindrical segment in the total hole length; L represents the length of the extension part of the flow direction expansion segment.

[0013] A further technical solution of the present application is that the numerical iteration algorithm comprises an iteration termination determination step: In each iteration, the actual flow direction expansion angle after the blockage is calculated according to the flow direction expansion angle after the current reserved angle; The relative deviation between the actual flow direction expansion angle and the initial flow direction expansion angle is calculated; When the absolute value of the relative deviation is less than one percent, the iteration calculation is terminated.

[0014] A further technical solution of the present application is that the numerical iteration algorithm adopts the Newton-Raphson method, the initial value of the iteration calculation is set as the initial flow direction expansion angle, and the numerical range of the iteration solution is set as the lower limit of the initial flow direction expansion angle and the upper limit of the hole inclination angle.

[0015] A further technical solution of the present application is to verify the final design value of the optimized flow direction expansion angle. According to the final determined optimized flow direction expansion angle and the blockage geometric model, a gas film cooling flow calculation model containing the blockage is established; Through three-dimensional fluid dynamics simulation, the cooling efficiency of the initial forward-tilted fan-shaped film hole, the forward-tilted fan-shaped film hole with blockage in the hole, and the forward-tilted fan-shaped film hole with reserved angle and blockage is calculated and compared to verify the design effect.

[0016] A design system for preventing blockage and improving gas film cooling based on reserved expansion angle, comprising: A parameter determination module is configured to determine the structural parameters of the initial forward-tilted fan-shaped film hole, wherein the structural parameters include the diameter of the cylindrical section of the forward-tilted fan-shaped film hole, the length-diameter ratio, the hole inclination angle, the initial flow direction expansion angle, and the proportion of the cylindrical section in the total hole length. A geometric modeling module is configured to determine the height of the blockage based on the thickness of the thermal barrier coating, and to establish a blockage geometric model at the outlet of the forward-tilted fan-shaped film hole. A first calculation module is configured to calculate the length of the extended part of the forward-tilted fan-shaped film hole inclination angle in the flow direction expansion section based on the structural parameters of the initial forward-tilted fan-shaped film hole.

[0017] A turbine blade having a surface provided with a forward-tilted fan-shaped film hole designed and processed based on a design method for preventing blockage and improving gas film cooling based on reserved expansion angle.

[0018] An aero-engine comprising the turbine blade.

[0019] Advantages The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: the design method for preventing blockage and improving gas film cooling based on the reserved expansion angle can ensure that the outlet area of the forward-tilted fan-shaped gas film hole does not change significantly to avoid a decrease in cooling performance in the case of blockage in the hole caused by spraying thermal barrier coating. The specific advantages are as follows: 1. The present application fundamentally suppresses the decrease in cooling performance caused by thermal barrier coating blockage: by calculating and increasing the flow direction expansion angle (i.e. the reserved expansion angle) in the design stage, the loss of flow area caused by the accumulation of coating material in the hole after spraying is actively compensated, ensuring that the outlet area of the gas film hole under the actual blockage condition is consistent with the design expectation, thereby fundamentally avoiding problems such as poor outflow of cooling gas and jet blowing away from the wall caused by blockage, and stabilizing and improving the gas film cooling efficiency.

[0020] 2. The present application realizes the design paradigm change from "passive response" to "active prediction and compensation": unlike the structural improvement idea in the prior art which passively accommodates the blockage by enlarging the hole volume, the present application initiates an active design method based on mathematical models and optimization algorithms. By establishing a geometric model of the blockage and taking "unchanged outlet area after blockage" as a strict constraint, an accurate mathematical relationship is constructed, realizing the quantitative prediction and forward compensation of the blockage effect, and the design concept is advanced.

[0021] 3. The present application can accurately calculate the required reserved expansion angle by establishing a strict functional relationship and using a numerical iterative algorithm (such as the Newton-Raphson method) for solving. The method sets a clear iteration termination condition (such as a relative deviation of less than 1%), ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the design results, and overcoming the uncertainty brought by traditional empirical design or trial-and-error method.

[0022] 4. The design method proposed by the present application is based on the core structural parameters (such as hole diameter, inclination angle, aspect ratio, etc.) of the forward-tilted fan-shaped gas film hole and the predictable coating thickness (blockage height), and does not depend on specific and fixed geometric configurations. Therefore, this method is suitable for the design of a series of forward-tilted fan-shaped gas film holes with different sizes and angles, and has wide engineering applicability and flexibility.

[0023] 5. The present application guarantees the life of the hot end of the turbine blade and the reliability of the engine. The gas film hole designed by this method can still maintain excellent cooling effect after spraying thermal barrier coating, effectively controlling the working temperature of the turbine blade, and has great significance for improving the service life, operation safety and overall reliability of the hot end components such as high-pressure turbine of an aero-engine.
