Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of turbine blade design, and more specifically to a turbine blade optimization design method and apparatus based on fluid topology optimization. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the mainstream approach to aerodynamic design of typical aero-engine flow channel components involves optimizing dimensions and shapes on a pre-defined initial geometry. Related research largely focuses on improving optimization algorithms or optimizing initial geometry, with few breakthroughs in design concepts. Although extensive optimization research has been conducted both domestically and internationally on typical aero-engine flow channel components, performance improvements are often limited. Compared to traditional dimension and shape optimization, fluid topology optimization methods exhibit unique advantages in theoretical research. This method does not require pre-defined initial surfaces and geometric information, representing a "from scratch" design paradigm. Introducing it into the aerodynamic optimization design of typical aero-engine flow channel components holds promise for constructing entirely new design methods. Its core lies in rationally distributing design variables within the design domain to achieve the desired goals, thereby fundamentally avoiding dependence on the initial geometry. As a highly flexible aerodynamic design tool, fluid topology optimization can not only optimize dimensions and shapes but also reconstruct the topological layout of the research object, forming innovative aerodynamic configurations distinct from conventional designs. Applying fluid topology optimization to the design of typical turbine flow channel components theoretically has the potential to achieve breakthrough topology layouts within the design space. Based on this, it can be further combined with traditional optimization methods for refined design to meet the future requirements of my country's aerospace power devices for high performance and high adaptability of flow channel components.

[0003] Domestic and international experts and scholars have conducted preliminary research on this issue. Sá et al. applied an optimization method based on the variable density method to the design of small-sized pumps and verified the performance of the designed product. Pietropaoli et al. conducted aerodynamic and heat transfer topology optimization on the internal cooling channels of turbines, using the combination of minimizing flow loss and minimizing channel wall temperature as dual objectives to optimize the serpentine channel design. Maesschalck et al. conducted research on fluid topology optimization of turbine blade tip structures, proposing that fluid topology optimization has great potential in tip structure design. In 2021, Zhang Min et al. conducted preliminary research on the clearance structure design of turbine rotor blade tips based on fluid topology optimization methods, obtaining a tip structure optimized by fluid topology. In 2024, Alonso et al. used two-dimensional rotating machinery as the research object and achieved efficiency improvements. It can be seen that the above research is basically limited to exploring optimization methods for simplified models or conducting local optimization design of turbine blades, and has not proposed topology optimization for the overall structure of turbine blades.

Based on the initial configuration of the turbine blade to be optimized, perform fluid topology optimization to obtain the optimized topology configuration of the turbine blade. In the CFD calculation process of fluid topology optimization, the governing equations used are supplemented with an energy equation on the basis of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation, and a penalty term constructed by the design variables of variable density is added to the momentum equation, and a density term is added to the mass equation.

[0065] In a specific embodiment, fluid topology optimization is performed based on the initial configuration of the turbine blade to be optimized to obtain the optimized topology configuration of the turbine blade, specifically including:

[0066] The initial configuration of the turbine blade to be optimized is cut along the spanwise S1 flow surface to obtain several two-dimensional blade cascade flow channels corresponding to different blade heights. The middle arc of the blade profile obtained by the intersection of the two-dimensional blade cascade flow channel and the blade is taken as the geometric boundary of the design domain. The geometric boundary of the design domain is translated up and down to obtain the design domain of the blade. The periodic boundary is extended along the upstream and downstream of the design domain of the blade respectively.

[0067] Based on the periodic boundary and the blade design domain, fluid topology optimization is performed on the two-dimensional blade cascade flow channels corresponding to different blade heights to obtain the optimized topology configuration of the turbine blade.

[0068] In a specific embodiment, during the fluid topology optimization process, the objective function of the design domain is the total pressure loss, which is expressed as:

[0069] ;

[0070] in, Indicates total pressure loss. Indicates the total import pressure. Indicates the total export pressure. Indicates the outlet static pressure;

[0071] The boundary objective function of the design domain is 0.

[0072] In a specific embodiment, the governing equations used in the CFD calculation process of fluid topology optimization include the mass equation, momentum equation, and energy equation. The mass equation is expressed as:

[0073] ;

[0074] The momentum equation is expressed as:

[0075] ;

[0076] The energy equation is expressed as:

[0077] ;

The relationship between the permeability coefficient and the design variables is determined by the RAMP interpolation method, as defined below:

[0088] ;

[0089] in, enthalpy (e) is the internal energy (J); e is the volume (m³). 3 ; Let be the Kronecker function, and μ be the dynamic viscosity.

[0090] Specifically, the initial configuration of the turbine blade to be optimized is imported into the geometric modeling tool. Several S1 flow surfaces are uniformly selected along different blade heights (corresponding to the spanwise direction). Each S1 flow surface represents a coaxial conical surface. The three-dimensional conical flow surface is unfolded into a two-dimensional plane. At the same time, the blade section (airfoil) is projected onto this two-dimensional plane to form a two-dimensional blade cascade flow channel. The turbine blade to be optimized includes stationary blades and moving blades. Among them, num_S S1 flow surfaces are uniformly selected along different blade heights for the stationary blades, and num_R S1 flow surfaces are uniformly selected along different blade heights for the moving blades.

[0091] The initial configuration of the turbine blade to be optimized is divided into two-dimensional blade cascade channels at several blade heights of the S1 flow surface. The middle arc of the blade profile at different blade heights is taken as the geometric boundary of the design domain and translated to form the upper and lower boundaries of the blade design domain. The two sides are appropriately extended along the upstream and downstream of the blade design domain to form periodic boundaries. The corresponding blade height working conditions of the calculation results of the initial configuration of the turbine blade to be optimized are used as the boundary conditions for optimization. Fluid topology optimization is carried out on the two-dimensional blade cascade channels at different blade heights.

[0092] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2 Each leaf-shaped profile projected onto a two-dimensional plane (corresponding to) Figure 2 (Left image) The arc is extracted using geometric modeling tools as the geometric boundary of the design domain (corresponding to...) Figure 2 The wall in the design domain is used to shift the grid pitch d(i) of each cross section vertically, which serves as the upper and lower boundaries of the blade's design domain. Extending the design domain upstream and downstream by a distance equal to the axial chord length x_chord allows the inflow and outflow to develop fully. The two sides are set as periodic boundaries (corresponding to...). Figure 2 The period is defined as follows: Inlet corresponds to the region of input fluid, and Outlet corresponds to the region of output fluid. Therefore, based on the fluid within the period boundary, fluid topology optimization is carried out on the design domain of the blade corresponding to different blade heights.

[0093] In the process of fluid topology optimization, a quasi-three-dimensional assumption is made regarding the flow within the two-dimensional blade cascade channel. The radial velocity component is ignored (i.e., Vr≈0), and the flow is assumed to develop tangentially along the flow surface. The flow within the two-dimensional blade cascade channel exhibits periodic repetition (a single channel represents the entire circumference). The initial configuration of the turbine blade to be optimized is meshed and CFD calculated. The blade height conditions corresponding to the num_S+num_R calculation results are extracted as the boundary conditions for optimization, including the total inlet pressure. wei(i), total imported temperature (i) Outlet static pressure (i) Inlet Mach number Ma_in(i), etc. Fluid topology optimization is performed on the two-dimensional blade cascade flow channels with num_S+num_R blade heights to be optimized, with the optimization objective being to minimize the total pressure loss of the flow. A schematic diagram of the iterative process of fluid topology optimization for the two-dimensional blade cascade flow channel is shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the optimized topology configuration of the turbine blades is finally obtained.

[0094] The mathematical model of the fluid topology optimization method can be expressed as:

[0095] ;

[0096] Where J is the objective function of the flow field with respect to the design variables and the flow field variables; For design variables; For flow field variables, including velocity, pressure, temperature, etc.; U is the velocity vector; Represent the residual equation of the governing equation; This indicates an additional inequality constraint.

[0097] Typically, the optimization objective is expressed as the sum of the design domain objective value and the boundary objective value, as follows:

[0098] ;

[0099] in, For design domain; The boundary of the design domain; The objective function for the design domain; The objective function for designing the domain boundary.

[0100] The constraints are:

[0101] ;

[0102] Among them, V θ The set volume constraints.

[0103] In the embodiments of this application, the total pressure loss is used as the objective function of the design domain. The boundary objective function of the design domain is 0, i.e. =0.

[0104] The fluid / solid penalty function in fluid topology optimization is introduced using a variable density method. The basic idea is to arrange design variables with values ​​between 0 and 1 on the discrete grid cells of the design domain, and then introduce these design variables into the governing equations by constructing a penalty function. This causes the design variables to have no effect in the fluid region but generate significant resistance in the solid region, thus automatically separating the fluid and solid regions. The embodiments of this application utilize the application of a Darcy force on the design domain as a penalty method. This force represents the resistance experienced by the fluid when passing through a porous medium, typically exhibiting a linear relationship positively correlated with the fluid velocity. The Darcy force is used as a penalty term in the momentum equation. The fluid density is treated as a variable, and a density term is added to the mass equation and coupled to the energy equation. Therefore, the embodiments of this application add an energy equation to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, add a penalty term constructed from the variable density design variables to the momentum equation, and add a density term to the mass equation, thus obtaining the Navier-Stokes equations for a steady compressible fluid.

[0105] When permeability coefficient The larger the permeability coefficient, the greater the resistance the fluid experiences, the weaker the permeability in porous media, and the more difficult the flow. Typically, the permeability coefficient... In the formula Determined by the Darcy number, the two are inversely proportional. The Darcy number is defined as follows:

[0106] ;

[0107] Where Da is the Darcy number, μ is the dynamic viscosity, and l is the inlet height of the flow channel.

[0108] In the process of fluid topology optimization, solid regions are considered to have almost no fluid passage, therefore Usually, a larger value is chosen. Here we take 0.

[0109] Because of the high-temperature, high-speed compressible flow in the turbine channel, the energy equation in the governing equations must also be considered during CFD calculations. Furthermore, considering the influence of porous media flow, the governing equations should also include Darcy force as a penalty term. The other steps in the iterative process of fluid topology optimization are standard and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0110] S2, Based on the optimized topological configuration of the turbine blade, the turbine blade is reconstructed by stacking along the spanwise direction in the geometric modeling software to obtain the three-dimensional configuration of the turbine blade; the three-dimensional configuration of the turbine blade is then subjected to adjoint optimization to obtain the optimized three-dimensional configuration of the turbine blade, which includes the optimized three-dimensional configuration of the stationary blade and the optimized three-dimensional configuration of the moving blade.

[0111] In a specific embodiment, during the optimization process, the objective function of the design domain is the turbine isentropic efficiency, defined as follows:

[0112] ;

[0113] in, For turbine isentropic efficiency, T z Where n is the torque, n is the number of blades, and C is the torque. p For the specific heat capacity at constant pressure, T 1,r The total temperature at the rotor inlet is m. 1,r This is the rotor inlet flow rate. Where k is the pressure ratio and k is the specific heat ratio.

[0114] Specifically, referring to the optimized topology of the turbine blade, the blades are reconstructed into a 3D configuration by stacking along the spanwise direction in geometric modeling software, resulting in the 3D model turbine.igs. Sections are taken from the 3D model along different blade heights, and after format conversion, the stationary blade geometry file stator.curve and the rotating blade geometry file rotor.curve are obtained for mesh generation. These two geometry files are imported into the mesh generation software to generate a mesh. After format conversion, adjoint optimization is performed, with the optimization objective being the turbine's isentropic efficiency, resulting in the optimized 3D configuration of the turbine blade. During adjoint optimization, design variables are placed on the surface of the design object, and their effects on the design object are influenced by adjoint sensitivity, thereby controlling the position of the design variables. Control points move on the blade surface, causing deformation of the blade surface. The final optimized 3D configuration of the turbine blade is shown below. Figure 4 As shown.

[0115] S3. Based on the optimized three-dimensional configuration of the moving blade tip, fluid topology optimization is performed to obtain the optimized topology configuration of the moving blade tip.

[0116] In a specific embodiment, step S3 specifically includes:

[0117] The tip of the optimized three-dimensional configuration of the moving blade is divided into different sections along the X-axis of the turbine rotation axis and used as the design domain of the tip. The area at a distance from the preset height of the casing is cut off on the side of the different sections as the research area. The height of the design domain of the tip is twice the tip clearance. The inlet and outlet of the design domain of the tip are represented by a square with a side length equal to the tip clearance, which represents the blade wall thickness.

[0118] Based on the research region and the blade tip design domain, fluid topology optimization is performed on the blade tip corresponding to different cross sections.

[0119] In one embodiment, the blade tip of the optimized moving blade is taken as the research object. The area along the turbine rotation axis (X-axis) is divided into num_T sections, simplifying it to a two-dimensional blade tip design domain. The region 10 times the blade tip clearance (10δ) at a distance of 10 times the distance from the casing is selected as the research area. The height of the blade tip design domain is twice the blade tip clearance (2δ). The inlet and outlet of the blade tip design domain are each represented by a square with a side length of δ, indicating the blade wall thickness. Figure 5 The diagram on the left shows the design domain of the blade tip. Using the operating conditions of the corresponding cross-section of the optimized three-dimensional configuration of the moving blade as the boundary conditions, fluid topology optimization is performed on the design domain of the moving blade tip. The optimization process is the same as in step S1, resulting in the optimized topology configuration of the moving blade tip. Figure 5 The right side shows the optimized topological configuration of the blade tip of the moving blade.

[0120] In one embodiment, the operating conditions of the corresponding num_T cross sections of the optimized moving blade are used as the boundary conditions for optimization, including the total inlet pressure. wei(i), total imported temperature (i) Outlet static pressure (i) The inlet Mach number Ma_T_in(i) is used to perform fluid topology optimization on the design domain of the blade tip. The optimization objective is to minimize the total pressure loss of the flow. The optimization process is the same as in step S1. The configuration changes during the iteration process are as follows: Figure 6 As shown, num_T cross-sectional configurations are obtained.

[0121] S4. Based on the optimized topological configuration of the blade tip of the moving blade, the blade tip of the optimized three-dimensional configuration of the moving blade is reconstructed in the geometric modeling software to obtain the final optimized configuration of the moving blade. The final optimized configuration of the moving blade and the optimized three-dimensional configuration of the stationary blade constitute the final optimized configuration of the turbine blade to be optimized.

[0122] Specifically, referring to the optimized topological configuration of the blade tip, geometric modeling software is used to draw the blade tip section profile in each blade tip design section. The blade tip section profile is then combined with the blade tip outline to reconstruct a three-dimensional curved blade tip, resulting in the final optimized configuration of the moving blade, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the final optimized configuration of the moving blade and the optimized three-dimensional configuration of the stationary blade constitute the final optimized configuration of the turbine blade to be optimized.

This device embodiment is similar to... Figure 1 Corresponding to the method embodiments shown, this device can be specifically applied to various electronic devices.
