Naval ships, as well as commercial ships, are exposed to more risks than before with the development of IR-guided threats. IR Suppress System (IRSS) is used to reduce or eliminate the infrared signatures of exhaust system of the ship. In order to optimize the structure of exhaust ejector and shorten the cycle of research, it is essential to study the successful experiences on exhaust ejectors by scholars abroad. In this article two structure innovations are introduced: an improved structure of nozzle and multi-stage diffuser; A new type of exhaust ejector for marine gas turbine is designed. Through simplifying the ejector model, numerical simulation is applied to forecast the characteristics of both the single-stage ejector and the multistage ejector. Result indicates the effects of structural parameters on the performance parameters.

In order to optimize the structure of exhaust ejector and shorten the cycle of research, it is essential to study the successful experiences on exhaust ejectors by scholars abroad. In this article two structure innovations were introduced: the nozzle structure changing from circular to rectangular and multi-stage diffuser, then a new type of marine gas turbine exhaust ejector was designed. Through simplifying the ejector model, numerical simulation was used to predict the characteristics of both the single-stage ejector and the multi-stage ejector.

With the development at infrared guidance weapon, the survival of the ship, especially in high risk areas, is facing serious challenges. In order to improve its survival ability, infrared suppression system emerges. Marine gas turbine exhaust ejector system is its core component, which is responsible for reducing or even eliminating the infrared radiation signal of marine gas turbine exhaust system. Based on collecting data on many sorts of ejectors, we sort out literature related to gas turbine exhaust ejector. From the view of ejector structure, the paper briefly describes the development of gas turbine exhaust ejector used on ships in domestic and foreign. Put forward two major structural innovations: the structure of nozzle changes from circular to rectangular and diffuser adopts multilevel structure. A new type of marine gas turbine exhaust ejector was designed. Ejector model is simplified. Use numerical simulation method to predict the single stage ejector and multi-stage ejectors. Further structural optimization plan and design can be made based on this essay.

With the continuous development of infrared-guided weapons, the survival of ship at sea faces increasingly challenges especially high-risk waters. The ship gas turbine exhaust ejector is the core component parts, charged with the task of reducing or even eliminating the infrared radiation signal of ship gas turbine exhaust systems. In the designing of exhaust ejector, structure forms of nozzle have a big influence on its ejector effect. Making a rational design of nozzle, which working in a narrow space, to reduce the exhaust temperature effectively while minimizing the impact of flow of gas turbine body has always been a focus and difficulty. In this article, a multistage ejector is designed by adding a second-stage ejector section based on an independent design of single-stage ejector.

On the basis of scale model tests in two different dimensions of marine gas turbine exhaust system with infrared signature suppression device, and in the light of similarity analysis and simplified numerical calculation, this paper discusses the effects of scale factor on the flow (flow resistance), temperature (of air-flow and tube wall), and infrared radiant (of exhaust plumes and exhaust uptake inner wall) fields of the exhaust system, and accordingly estimates the corresponding parameters of real ship exhaust systems as well as presents the magnitude of scale factor impacts and the recommended values for selecting the scale factor.

Following repeated cases of damage caused to exhaust silencers located directly beyond gas turbine diffusers, this paper reports on investigations carried out to determine possible remedies. In all instances, an uneven exhaust gas flow distribution was found. The company’s innovative approach to the problem involved constructing a scale model of a complete gas turbine exhaust system and using it for flow simulation purposes. It was established for the first time that, subject to certain conditions, the results of tests conducted on a model can be applied to the actual turbine exhaust system. It is shown that when an unfavorable duct arrangement might produce an uneven exhaust flow, scale models are useful in the development of suitable flow-distributing devices.

The flow and thermal fields within the cooling air injection device which is widely used to suppress the infrared (IR) signatures of a marine gas turbine exhaust system were studied numerically and experimentally. A turbulence near-wall model based on the wall function method was adopted. The discretization equations were derived for the control volumes when conjugate heat transfer exists at their interfaces, with the radiation heat flux at the interfaces appearing as an additional source term. The solution method of entrained velocities at the entrance of secondary flow was introduced. The distributions of temperature and static pressure on the diffuser surface, and the temperature of gas at the outlet of the exhaust duct were simulated numerically. The numerical calculated results agreed well with corresponding scale model experimental data. Lastly, the measured IR radiation distributions by scale model experiments at different view angles and various engine power settings, with and without IR signature suppression (IRSS) devices were presented.

This paper describes studies completed using a quarter-scaled rig to assess the impact of turbine exit swirl angle and strut stagger on a turbine exhaust system consisting of an integral diffuser-collector. Advanced testing methods were applied to ascertain exhaust performance for a range of inlet conditions aerodynamically matched to flow exiting an industrial gas turbine. Flow visualization techniques along with complementary Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) predictions were used to study flow behavior along the diffuser endwalls. Complimentary CFD analysis was also completed with the aim to ascertain the performance prediction capability of modern day analytical tools for design phase and off-design analysis. The K-Epsilon model adequately captured the relevant flow features within both the diffuser and collector, and the model accurately predicted the recovery at design conditions. At off-design conditions, the recovery predictions were found to be pessimistic. The integral diffuser-collector exhaust accommodated a significant amount of inlet swirl without a degradation in performance, so long as the inlet flow direction did not significantly deviate from the strut stagger angle. Strut incidence at the hub was directly correlated with reduction in overall performance, whereas the diffuser-collector performance was not significantly impacted by strut incidence at the shroud.
