Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of gas turbines, and particularly relates to a design method and device for a blade end wall winglet. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a core component of an aero-engine and a gas turbine, the aerodynamic performance of a compressor directly determines the efficiency and stability of the entire power device. In the design of modern high-load compressors, in order to pursue higher single-stage pressure ratio and power density, the blade load is continuously increased, and the secondary flow phenomenon in the flow passage is also increasingly severe, which becomes a key bottleneck restricting the further improvement of performance.
[0003] In the compressor passage, especially in the end wall region, there are complex secondary flow structures, mainly including a horseshoe vortex formed by the accumulation of an end wall boundary layer, a passage vortex driven by a transverse pressure gradient, and an angle region separation, etc., as shown in FIG. 1. Figure 1 These strong vortex structure not only brings significant additional flow loss, reduces the efficiency of the compressor, but also causes flow blockage, reduces the stable working margin, and even induces unstable working conditions such as rotating stall, which seriously threatens the safe operation of the engine.
[0004] In order to suppress these secondary flows and widen the stable working boundary, researchers have developed various flow control technologies. Among them, the end wall winglet as a widely studied passive control device shows great engineering application potential due to its simple structure, high reliability and no need for external energy input. The winglet is a thin sheet structure installed on the inner wall and extending into the flow passage along the blade height direction, usually located on the suction side of the blade. Its core idea is to interrupt or weaken the transverse migration of low-energy fluid under the transverse pressure gradient in advance through its physical blocking effect, so as to suppress the formation and development scale of the main secondary flow structure such as the passage vortex.
[0005] The traditional winglet profile shape is generally constructed according to the shape of the blade or the flow passage. When the compressor is in a non-design condition, this configuration is no longer in line with the main flow, and cannot achieve good variable condition performance, and cannot fully exert the potential of the winglet device flow control. In order to overcome the inherent defects of the traditional winglet, a design method for an end wall winglet is proposed, which can effectively suppress secondary flow, reduce end wall region loss, and at the same time, minimize the additional resistance loss caused by the winglet itself, and avoid excessive interference with the main flow. SUMMARY
[0006] The purpose of the present application is to provide a design method and device of blade end wall winglet, which uses B-spline curve modeling to construct winglet profile, and determines the geometric parameters of end wall winglet based on blade geometric parameters and blade inlet boundary layer thickness.
[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application adopts the following technical scheme: A design method of blade end wall winglet, comprising: Arranging the end wall winglet on the upper and lower end walls of the blade passage; Designing the profile of the winglet in the length direction as a B-spline curve formed by the control points of the B-spline inversely calculated based on the points on the three profiles.
[0008] The present application is further improved in that the points on the three profiles are defined as A, B and C points, wherein the A point is the starting point of the profile, the B point is the ending point of the profile, and the C point is the point with the maximum vertical distance from the line connecting the A and B points.
[0009] The present application is further improved in that the axial distance of the A point from the blade leading edge is l ax , the circumferential distance of the A point from the suction surface is l ay , and the value range of l ax is 0~50%b, and the value range of l ay is 10%T~50%T; wherein b is the axial chord length of the blade, and T is the pitch of the blade.
[0010] The present application is further improved in that the axial distance of the B point from the blade leading edge is l bx , the circumferential distance of the B point from the suction surface is l by , and the value range of l bx is 50%b~100%b, and the value range of l by is 10%T~50%T, and l by <l ay .
[0011] The present application is further improved in that the vertical distance of the C point from the line connecting the A and B points is d, and the value range of d is -δ~+δ, d is a positive value, i.e. the winglet is curved towards the pressure surface of the blade, d is a negative value, i.e. the winglet is curved towards the suction surface, and δ is the inlet flow boundary layer thickness of the blade.
[0012] The present application is further improved in that the width of the side near the suction surface of the winglet and the side near the pressure surface of the winglet from the winglet profile is w1 and w2 respectively, and the value range of w1 and w2 is 1%δ~20%δ.
[0013] The further improvement of the present application is that the height of the winglet is h, and h is 5%delta~100%delta.
[0014] The further improvement of the present application is that the meridian surface shape of the winglet is rectangular, triangular or circular arc.
[0015] A design device of a blade end wall winglet, comprising: A winglet arrangement unit arranges the end wall winglet on the upper and lower end walls of the blade passage. A profile design unit designs the profile of the winglet in the length direction as a B-spline curve composed of control points of a B-spline inversely calculated based on three points on the profile.
[0016] A computer readable storage medium stores a computer program, and the computer program realizes the steps of the design method of the blade end wall winglet when executed by a processor.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present application has at least the following beneficial technical effects: The traditional winglet design method is often limited by fixed geometric shape or simple curve construction method, and it is difficult to finely adjust according to the specific working conditions and flow field characteristics of different compressors. The present application uses B-spline curve to model the winglet profile, and the B-spline curve has local support and strong shape expression ability, which can accurately shape various complex winglet shapes conforming to the principle of fluid mechanics by adjusting the position and weight of the control points. The geometric parameters of the end wall winglet are determined based on the blade geometric parameters and the blade inlet boundary layer thickness, and this innovative design concept realizes the accurate matching of the winglet parameters with the blade and the key characteristics of the flow field.
[0018] Inside the compressor, due to the presence of the end wall and the interaction of the blade surface boundary layer, complex secondary flow phenomena such as passage vortex, corner vortex, etc. are easily formed in the blade passage. These secondary flows will cause the energy loss of the airflow to increase, reducing the efficiency of the compressor. The blade end wall winglet design method of the present application can intervene and block the secondary flow at the key position by reasonably designing the winglet profile and geometric parameters. The additional resistance generated by the winglet can change the flow trajectory of the airflow, weaken the strength of the secondary flow, and prevent its further development and diffusion, thereby reducing the energy loss caused by the secondary flow, making the airflow pass through the blade passage more smoothly, and improving the aerodynamic performance of the compressor. The end wall is a complex area of internal flow in the compressor, where the airflow is prone to separation and reattachment, resulting in increased flow loss. The winglet design of the present application can improve the flow structure near the end wall, making the airflow more evenly distributed on the end wall surface, reducing the occurrence of flow separation. At the same time, the winglet can also guide the airflow to form a more favorable pressure gradient near the end wall, inhibit the thickening of the boundary layer, and reduce the end wall friction loss. Through these comprehensive effects, the flow loss in the end wall region of the compressor is significantly reduced, and the overall efficiency of the compressor is improved, providing a strong guarantee for the efficient operation of the compressor.
[0019] The stable working margin of the compressor refers to the ability of the compressor to maintain stable operation when deviating from the design working condition. Under variable working conditions, the internal flow field of the compressor is prone to stall, surge and other unstable phenomena, which seriously affects the performance and safety of the compressor. The blade end wall winglet design method of the present application improves the flow stability inside the compressor by effectively suppressing the development of secondary flow and reducing end wall loss. Stall and surge are common dangerous operating conditions of the compressor, which can cause a sharp decline in compressor performance and even cause equipment damage. The winglet design of the present application reduces the separation and backflow of the airflow in the blade passage by optimizing the flow field structure, reducing the likelihood of stall and surge. At the same time, the winglet can also adjust the airflow in time at the initial stage of stall, inhibit the expansion and development of the stall, provide a certain buffer time for the compressor, and enable the control system to take timely measures to avoid the occurrence of surge.
[0020] In summary, the design configuration method of the present application is simple, and increases the flexibility of the winglet in the design process to adapt to the variable working condition flow field structure of the compressor, thereby better suppressing the development of secondary flow in the passage, reducing the end wall loss, and improving the stable working margin of the compressor.
