This paper describes a diffuser-combustor flow interaction analysis procedure for gas turbine combustion systems. The method is based on the solution of the Navier–Stokes equations in a generalized nonorthogonal coordinate system. The turbulence effects are modeled via the standard two-equation (k-ε) model. The method has been applied to a practical gas turbine combustor-diffuser system that includes support struts and fuel nozzles. Results have been presented for a three-dimensional simulation, as well as for a simplified axisymmetric simulation. The flow exhibits significant three-dimensional behavior. The axisymmetric simulation is shown to predict the static pressure recovery and the total pressure losses reasonably well.

A recently developed, time-accurate multigrid viscous solver has been extended to handle quasi-three-dimensional effects and applied to the first stage of a modern transonic compressor. Interest is focused on the inlet guide vane (IGV):rotor interaction where strong sources of unsteadiness are to be expected. Several calculations have been performed to predict the stage operating characteristics. Flow structures at various mass flow rates, from choke to near stall, are presented and discussed. Comparisons between unsteady and steady pitch-averaged results are also included in order to obtain indications about the capabilities of steady, multi-row analyses.

Tidal bore is a fascinating and powerful hydraulic phenomenon. In this paper, the tidal bore’s process is studied using 3D Smooth Particle Hydrodynamic (SPH) model. The Lagrangian nature of SPH suits well to the modeling of the complex fluid flow phenomenon. In the SPH method, the Navier-Stokes equations are discretized with fluid particles in the Lagrangine sense. Boundary conditions, including both no slip wall and bottom wall, are implemented using dynamic boundary particles. Using SPH, the bore’s generation together with its traverse along the channel are presented, including the description of flow field and bore’s configuration. Different types of bores’ behavior are investigated. It is observed that there is a splash of water surge up the wall and the front of the bore becomes a breaker wave when the initial water column travels at high speed. The velocity field and bore heights at different locations are visualized and discussed as well.

Transonic Fan

The design of a transonic-fan rotor is optimized using numerical computations of the full three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. The CFDRC-ACE multiphysics module, which is a pressure-based solver, is used for the numerical simulation. The code is coupled with simplex optimization algorithm. The optimization process is started from a suitable design point obtained using low fidelity analytical methods that is based on experimental correlations for the pressure losses and blade deviation angle. The fan blade shape is defined by its stacking line and airfoil shape which are considered the optimization parameters. The stacking line is defined by lean, sweep, and skews, while blade airfoil shape is modified considering the thickness and camber distributions. The optimization has been performed to maximize the rotor total pressure ratio while keeping the rotor efficiency and surge margin above certain required values. The results obtained are verified with the experimental data of Rotor 67. In addition, the results of the optimized fan indicate that the optimum design is found to be leaned in the direction of rotation and has a forward sweep from the hub to mean section and backward sweep to the tip. The pressure ratio increases from 1.427 to 1.627 at the design speed and mass flow rate.

A modification of Moore’s (12) method has been developed for solving the three-dimensional Navier Stokes equations to calculate the flow in a log spiral impeller. A complete mathematical development of this method is presented. The parabolic finite-difference marching code used to make the calculations is an extensive revision of a CATHY3 code obtained from D. B. Spalding. Calculations are made for Vr, Vθ and Vz on a non-orthogonal grid that is ideally suited for impellers with back-swept blades. An inviscid solution is in good agreement with the elliptic solution and validates the computational procedure. The method is applied to calculate the viscous three-dimensional flow in a log spiral impeller.

Splitter blades located between stator blades in a single-stage axial compressor were proposed and investigated in this work to find their effects on aerodynamic performance and operating stability. Aerodynamic performance of the compressor was evaluated using three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations using the k-e turbulence model with a scalable wall function. The numerical results for the typical performance parameters without stator splitter blades were validated in comparison with experimental data. The numerical results of a parametric study using four geometric parameters (chord length, coverage angle, height and position) of the stator splitter blades showed that the operational stability of the single-stage axial compressor enhances remarkably using the stator splitter blades. The splitters were effective in suppressing flow separation in the stator domain of the compressor at near-stall condition which affects considerably the aerodynamic performance of the compressor.

The Relationship

A three-dimensional numerical study of a single droplet splashing vertically on a liquid film is presented. The numerical method is based on the finite volume method (FVM) of Navier–Stokes equations coupled with the volume of fluid (VOF) method, and the adaptive local mesh refinement technology is adopted. It enables the liquid–gas interface to be tracked more accurately, and to be less computationally expensive. The relationship between the diameter of the free rim, the height of the crown with different numbers of collision Weber, and the thickness of the liquid film is explored. The results indicate that the crown height increases as the Weber number increases, and the diameter of the crown rim is inversely proportional to the collision Weber number. It can also be concluded that the dimensionless height of the crown decreases with the increase in the thickness of the dimensionless liquid film, which has little effect on the diameter of the crown rim during its growth.
