Experimental and Computational Study of the Unsteady Flow in a 1.5 Stage Axial Turbine With Emphasis on the Secondary Flow in the Second Stator

Abstract: A study of the unsteady flow in an axial flow turbine stage with a second stator blade row is presented. The low aspect ratio blades give way to a highly three-dimensional flow which is dominated by secondary flow structures. Detailed steady and unsteady measurements throughout the machine and unsteady flow simulations which include all blade rows have been carried out. The presented results focus on the second stator flow. Secondary flow structures and their origins are identified and tracked on their way thr… Show more

“…INTRODUCTION The need for a better understanding of unsteady effects on the aerodynamics, heat transfer and noise in turbomachinery is increasing as the demand for greater gas turbine efficiency rises. The most significant contribution to the unsteadiness in a turbine is due to the periodic chopping of the wake [1] and secondary flow vortices from the upstream blade row by the downstream blade row [2], [3], [4], [5] . As modern engine design philosophy places emphasis on higher blade loading and smaller engine length, the effects of these interactions become even more important.…”

“…One most important source of unsteadiness is the potential effect in which the pressure field associated with the leading edge of a blade sweeps past the trailing edge of a vane [1]. The other main contributor to unsteadiness is the vanes wakes swept into the blade row due to periodic chopping of wakes [2], added to the secondary flows and vortices convected from an upstream row [3]. Moreover, large variations in the size and strength of the secondary flows and vortices are observed as the rotor blades passages sweep through the flow distortions generated by upstream vanes [4].…”

“…The original Aachen 1-1/2 turbine stage 22 has three rows in order corresponding to the stator, the rotor and the stator and the blade numbers are respectively 36, 41 and 36. For the sake of simplicity and meanwhile not affecting our goals, the last stator is cut down and only the first two rows are simulated.…”
