Effective distribution of cool air within the turbine is a key factor in ensuring its safe operation. The turbulent Schmidt number (Sc) is crucial. t The turbulent Schmitt number, a dimensionless parameter describing the diffusion characteristics of matter in turbulent flow, reflects the ratio of momentum diffusivity to mass diffusivity. In turbine cooling systems, the value of the turbulent Schmitt number significantly influences the diffusion behavior of the cooled air. However, in existing technologies, the turbulent Schmitt number is typically taken as a fixed value, making it difficult to accurately reflect the dynamic changes of the cooled air under actual operating conditions.

[0029] Figure 2 This is a comparison chart of the optimized results and the original results of the embodiments of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0031] This invention aims to provide a dynamic control method for turbulent Schmidt number based on cold gas concentration. By establishing a relationship model between turbulent Schmidt number and cold gas concentration, the method enables real-time adjustment of turbulent Schmidt number, thereby improving the prediction accuracy of downstream cooling efficiency of film cooling orifices and the reliability of numerical simulation results.

[0032] 1. Establishment of a model relating turbulent Schmidt number to cold gas concentration;

[0033] This invention relates to a numerical simulation method for hot-end components of aero-engine turbines, defining common simulation conditions. The physical properties of the cold air used in this invention include, but are not limited to, density and viscosity. These properties are applicable to the simulation of most non-extreme operating conditions and can accurately reflect the hydrodynamic characteristics of the cold air under typical conditions. In a very few extreme conditions, such as ultra-high-speed turbulence, it may be necessary to adjust or replace the corresponding physical parameters according to the actual situation to ensure the accuracy of the numerical results.

[0034] Through experimental measurements or numerical simulations, the mathematical relationship between the turbulent Schmidt number and the concentration of cold gas components was determined, and the turbulent Schmidt number (Sc) was established. t ) and cold air concentration (C A The quadratic function relation is:

[0035]

[0036] 2. Dynamic turbulent Schmidt number control mechanism;

[0037] During the design of the turbine cooling system, the turbulent Schmidt number is calculated in real time based on the changes in the component concentration of the cooling gas under different operating conditions. The dynamic turbulent Schmidt number model is applied to the fluid dynamics simulation of the cooling system to accurately simulate the flow behavior of the cooling gas inside the turbine.

[0038] In the numerical simulation of the turbine cooling system, the momentum ratio (I) is introduced as a flow characteristic parameter, which is defined as the ratio of the momentum of the cooling air to that of the mainstream fluid:

[0039]

[0040] Where, ρ c and ρ m These are the densities of the cold air and the mainstream air, respectively, U c and U m For the corresponding flow velocity. Combining momentum ratio and dynamic Sc t Model, correcting the diffusion term in the turbulent transport equation:

[0041]

[0042] In the formula, Y represents the mass fraction of the cooling air, μ t For turbulent viscosity, Sc t The above quadratic function is dynamically calculated.

[0043] This invention relates to a computer program that enables a computer to implement a method for dynamically controlling the turbulent Schmidt number, thereby generating the turbulent Schmidt number Sc. t With cold air concentration C AThe functional relationship between them is established. This functional relationship can be implemented on a fluid dynamics calculation platform, thereby enabling the platform to effectively execute the dynamic control method of the turbulent Schmitt number.

[0044] Example:

[0045] Set the turbulent Schmidt number (Sc) t ) and cold air concentration (C A () is a quadratic function relation. Figure 1 The graph shows that the quadratic function first decreases and then increases within the range of 0 to 1 for the cold air concentration. The turbulent Schmidt number reaches its maximum value of 0.5 at cold air concentrations of 0 and 1.0, and its minimum value of 0.2 at a cold air concentration of 0.5.

[0046] Sc t =1.2(C A -0.5) 2 +0.2

[0047] Using this formula, combined with real-time calculation of cold air concentration, Sc t The values ​​were then substituted into the fluid dynamics simulation. The momentum ratio I was set to 0.97 (based on a typical value under experimental conditions).

[0048] In this embodiment, the differences and advantages of the proposed method compared with traditional methods in predicting the cooling efficiency distribution of the flow field are further illustrated by analyzing and verifying the cooling flow field under the condition of momentum ratio I = 0.97. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, dimensionless coordinates x / d and y / d are used to characterize the spatial distribution of the downstream and spanwise directions of the film gas holes (where d is the diameter of the film gas holes), and the diffusion and mixing of the cold gas in the flow field are represented by the colored area of ​​the cooling efficiency η.

[0049] First, the experimental results clearly show that when cold air diffuses downstream from the film pores, the η value in the near-field region is relatively high, gradually decreasing with increasing axial distance, accompanied by a certain degree of lateral diffusion. This measured distribution provides an objective benchmark for subsequent comparison with numerical simulation results.

[0050] Fixed turbulent Schmitt number Sc t A comparison of the numerical prediction results of the traditional model with a parameter value of 0.7 with the experimental results shows that, under this fixed parameterization method, the spatial distribution and attenuation characteristics of the high cooling efficiency region are not fully reproduced. For example, the traditional model often leads to an overly concentrated or insufficiently diffused distribution of cold gas, thus failing to comprehensively and accurately describe the transport and mixing behavior of cold gas in the actual flow field.

[0051] In contrast, this embodiment significantly improves the consistency between numerical simulation results and experimental data through targeted optimization of the turbulent Schmitt number. The optimized numerical prediction results are in good agreement with the measured data in terms of the distribution range of cooling efficiency, peak decay trend, and spatial diffusion characteristics, demonstrating more accurate and reliable prediction capabilities.

[0052] This embodiment demonstrates that the parameter optimization method proposed in this invention can effectively improve the accuracy and adaptability of numerical simulations of complex cooling flow fields, providing more reliable technical support for subsequent engineering design and optimization. Through the application of this method, not only can the working performance and reliability of the cooling system be improved under actual working conditions, but it also lays a solid foundation for the research and application of related flow problems.

[0053] Turbulent Schmidt number Sc t It is a dimensionless parameter in fluid mechanics that describes the diffusion characteristics of turbulent flow; it is defined as the turbulent momentum diffusion coefficient ν. t With turbulent mass diffusion coefficient D t The ratio:

[0054]

[0055] The significance of each item:

[0056] (1) Turbulent Motion Diffusion Coefficient ν t ;

[0057] This represents the momentum transfer efficiency caused by turbulence, reflecting the contribution of turbulent vortices to momentum diffusion. It is usually calculated using turbulence models (such as the k-ε model or the k-ω model).

[0058] (2) Turbulent mass diffusion coefficient D t ;

[0059] This represents the mass transfer efficiency caused by turbulence, describing the contribution of turbulent vortices to mass diffusion. It is similar to the turbulent momentum diffusion coefficient, but specifically addresses mass transfer.

[0060] In this invention, the cold gas diffusion coefficient D t Calculated using the Wilke-Chang equation:

[0061]

[0062] In the formula, T is the temperature, η is the viscosity of the mixed gas, V is the molar volume of the solute, and φ is the correlation factor.

[0063] (3) Turbulent Schmidt number Sc t ;

[0064] Used to describe the relative efficiency of momentum and mass transfer in turbulent flow. When Sct When ≈1, the efficiency of momentum transfer and mass transfer is equivalent; when Sc t When Sc > 1, momentum transfer efficiency is higher than mass transfer efficiency; when Sc t When the mass transfer efficiency is less than 1, the mass transfer efficiency is higher than the momentum transfer efficiency.

[0065] The innovative aspects of this invention are as follows:

[0066] 1. Dynamic Control of Turbulent Schmidt Number: This work is the first to propose a dynamic correlation between the turbulent Schmidt number and the concentration of cooling gas, overcoming the limitations of traditional fixed turbulent Schmidt number models and significantly improving the accuracy of cooling system simulations. Simultaneously, it is the first to propose the Sc... t =f(C A The explicit mathematical expression of ) breaks through the limitations of the traditional fixed value assumption.

[0067] 2. Dynamic Control Method: A dynamic control method is proposed based on the dynamic turbulent Schmidt number model. The dynamic Schmidt number Sc... t With momentum ratio I and turbulent viscosity μ t By combining these methods, a high-precision simulation model of the cooling flow field is constructed. This approach effectively corrects the diffusion term in the turbulent transport equation, further enhancing the reliability of the numerical simulation results and thus providing a more accurate basis for predicting the distribution of cold gas.
