Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of turbine blade design, specifically a method for reducing the dimension of a complex radial three-dimensional blade to a meridional flow surface. Background Technology

[0002] Turbine machinery is a highly efficient rotating device that converts energy in a fluid medium into mechanical work, and it is widely used in various fields such as power generation and aerospace.

[0003] With the increasing national requirements for energy conservation and emission reduction, improving turbine efficiency in various industries is becoming increasingly urgent.

[0004] As a core component of turbine energy conversion, the internal losses of the flow path blades directly determine the unit's operating efficiency. Because the flow within the flow path blades presents multi-factor, cross-dimensional, and strongly coupled challenges, capturing and studying these losses is a prerequisite and key to improving efficiency. For a long time, renowned research institutions both domestically and internationally have invested significant human and material resources in numerical simulation and experimental research on these losses.

[0005] For most axial-flow turbines, the flow direction of the fluid inside the turbine can generally be decomposed into axial (or at a slight angle to the axial direction) and tangential. However, in some fields, the mainstream flow direction within the turbine stage is not so straightforward. For example, the purely radial blades used in the first stage of large steam turbines and the guide vanes of centripetal turbines require decomposition into radial and tangential flow directions. For such complex three-dimensional radial blades, in order to study the influencing factors and variation patterns of various losses (shape loss, secondary flow loss, etc.) separately, dimensionality reduction and simplification are necessary.

[0006] Currently, the numerical analysis methods and planar blade cascade experiments commonly used in the industry to study the characteristics of blade loss are all based on blade cascades flowing in the meridional plane.

[0007] However, radial airfoils exhibit radius changes during flow, and the area variation between adjacent blades is not solely determined by the airfoil itself but is also influenced by radius changes, which is entirely different from the flow characteristics within a meridional flow surface. Therefore, to maintain the flow channel area variation and surface pressure distribution characteristics, two-dimensional airfoils of each radial blade cross-section cannot be directly used for performance analysis or planar blade cascade experimental research. Currently, the industry lacks a dimensionality reduction transformation method that can accurately preserve these aerodynamic characteristics. A method is needed to transform the radially flowing airfoil to a meridional flow surface, maintaining its cross-sectional aerodynamic characteristics. Based on this, subsequent planar blade cascade experiments, flow field numerical simulations, and other related research can be conducted to obtain the load characteristics and surface loss data of each airfoil cross-section, providing data support for performance optimization. Summary of the Invention

S6: Repeat steps S2 to S5 to reduce the dimensionality of all the basic radial flow surface two-dimensional blade profiles in step S1 to meridional flow surface two-dimensional profiles.

[0010] Preferably, in step S1, the basic radial flow surface two-dimensional blade profile is composed of a curve formed by four closed connections: the leading edge, the pressure surface, the trailing edge, and the suction surface.

[0011] Preferably, in step S3, the dimensionless processing is achieved by simultaneously dividing the coordinates (X, Y) of the discrete point by the characteristic parameter.

[0012] Preferably, in step S5, the scaling adjustment is to restore the converted meridional flow surface two-dimensional blade profile to a physical size suitable for planar blade cascade tests or numerical simulation analysis.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0022] Example 1 like Figures 1-3 As shown, a method for dimensionality reduction transformation of complex radial three-dimensional blades into meridional flow surfaces is characterized by the following steps: S1: Select a complex radial three-dimensional blade with a blade height of H; decompose the complex radial three-dimensional blade into several basic radial flow surface two-dimensional blade profiles corresponding to different relative blade heights h / H.

[0023] In this embodiment, the blade height of the complex radial three-dimensional blade is H. The blade is formed by stacking and twisting several basic radial flow surface two-dimensional blade profiles (the two-dimensional blade profiles are positioned relative to the blade height as h / H) according to a certain pattern. The complex radial three-dimensional blade is decomposed into several basic radial flow surface two-dimensional blade profiles corresponding to different relative blade heights h / H.

[0024] The basic radial flow surface two-dimensional airfoil section is a closed curve formed by connecting four spline curves in sequence: the leading edge 1, the pressure surface 2, the trailing edge 3, and the suction surface 4.

[0025] The basic two-dimensional airfoil has characteristic parameters: chord length b, installation angle γ, pitch s, throat width o, basic two-dimensional airfoil section height h, relative blade height h / H, and relative kerf pitch s / b.

[0026] S2: Describe one of the basic radial flow surface two-dimensional blade profiles in step S1 using the coordinates (X,Y) of several discrete points; In this embodiment, one example is a two-dimensional blade profile of a basic radial flow surface. The two-dimensional blade profile of one of the basic radial flow surfaces in step S1 can be described by the discrete point coordinates (X,Y) of a two-dimensional blade profile of a certain blade height section of the basic radial flow surface, as shown in Table 1.

[0027] Table 1. Coordinates of discrete points of a two-dimensional airfoil at a certain blade height section on the basic radial flow surface.

[0028] S3: Dimensionless processing is performed on the discrete point coordinates (X, Y) obtained in step S2 using characteristic parameters to obtain dimensionless discrete coordinate points (X1, Y1); the characteristic parameters include chord length b, installation angle γ, pitch s, throat width o, cross section height h, relative blade height h / H, and relative gate pitch s / b. In specific implementation, in step S3, the dimensionless processing is achieved by dividing the coordinates (X, Y) of the discrete point by the characteristic parameter.

[0029] Specifically, the two-dimensional blade profiles of the radial flow surface at each relative blade height section position are dimensionless, and the horizontal and vertical planes are used as reference planes to make the two-dimensional blade profiles of the radial flow surface in step S2 dimensionless as a whole.

[0030] In this embodiment, the coordinates (X, Y) of the discrete points in Table 1 above are simultaneously divided by the characteristic parameters to achieve dimensionless representation, thereby obtaining the discrete reference points of the two-dimensional blade profile for each cross-section radial flow surface. The dimensionless discrete point coordinates of a certain blade height section of the basic radial flow surface are described in Table 2.

[0032] S4: Convert the dimensionless discrete coordinate point (X1, Y1) obtained in step S3 into a dimensionless coordinate point (X2, Y2) on the meridional flow surface through the following coordinate transformation relationship.

[0033] In this embodiment, the dimensionless discrete coordinate points (X1, Y1) of the two-dimensional blade profiles on each radial flow surface based on step S3 are transformed to dimensionless coordinate points (X2, Y2) on the meridional flow surface of the blade at the same streamline position according to the following relationship. Table 3 describes the coordinates of the dimensionless discrete points of the two-dimensional blade profiles on the meridional flow surface.

[0034]

[0035] In this embodiment, X1,Y1 are the dimensionless discrete point coordinates of a two-dimensional blade profile at a certain cross-section of the basic radial flow surface, and X2,Y2 are the dimensionless discrete point coordinates of a two-dimensional blade profile on the meridional flow surface.

[0037] S5: The dimensionless discrete coordinates (X2, Y2) of the two-dimensional blade profile on the meridional surface obtained in step S4 are scaled up, and finally the two-dimensional blade profile of the basic radial flow surface corresponding in step S1 is transformed into the discrete coordinates of the two-dimensional blade profile of the meridional flow surface.

[0038] In step S5, the scaling adjustment is to restore the converted meridional flow surface two-dimensional blade profile to a physical size suitable for planar blade cascade tests or numerical simulation analysis.

[0039] S6: Repeat steps S2 to S5 to reduce the dimensionality of all the basic radial flow surface two-dimensional blade profiles in step S1 to meridional flow surface two-dimensional profiles.

[0040] This method can realize the transformation from radial flow surface two-dimensional airfoil to meridional flow surface two-dimensional airfoil, while ensuring that the flow channel area change law and flow surface pressure distribution characteristics of the airfoil remain unchanged before and after the transformation.

[0041] The two-dimensional blade profile of the meridional flow surface transformed by the method in this embodiment is used for planar blade cascade experiments and / or flow field numerical simulation analysis to obtain the load characteristics and surface loss data of the blade profile. This technique enables the dimensionality reduction of complex radial three-dimensional blades, obtaining the load characteristics and surface loss data of each cross-section of the blade profile, providing data support for performance optimization.
