Abstract In order to improve their efficiency and performance, aircraft intermittent combustion engines often incorporate turbochargers that are adapted from ground-based applications. These turbochargers experience conditions outside of their design operating envelope and are found to experience high-cycle fatigue brought on by aerodynamically-induced blade resonances. The onset of fluid-structural interactions, such as flutter and forced response, in turbochargers at these conditions has not been extensively studied. A reduced-order model of the aeroelastic response of the turbine is developed using the Euler-Lagrange equation informed by numerical data from uncoupled computational fluid dynamic (CFD) and computational structural dynamic (CSD) calculations. The structural response of the reduced-order model is derived from a method of assumed modes approach. The unsteady fluid response is described by a modified version of piston theory as a first step towards including inhomogeneous aerodynamic forcing. Details of the reduced order model are given. The capability of the reduced-order model to predict the presence of flutter from a subset of the uncoupled numerical simulation data is discussed.

Bladed Rotor

The results from a reduced order model based on frequency mistuning are compared with those from recently developed modified modal domain analysis (MMDA). For the academic bladed rotor considered in this paper, the frequency mistuning analysis is unable to capture the effects of geometric mistuning, whereas MMDA provides accurate estimates of natural frequencies, mode shapes, and forced response.

A damping strategy for integrally bladed disks (blisks) is discussed in this paper; this involves the use of friction rings located underside the wheel of bladed disks. The forced response of the blisk with friction rings is derived in the frequency domain using a frequency domain approach known as Dynamic Lagrangian Frequency-Time method. The blisk is modeled using a reduced-order model and the rings are modeled using beam elements. The results of some numerical simulations and parametric studies are presented. The range of application of this damping device is discussed. Parametric studies are presented and allow to understand the dissipation phenomena. Finally some design and optimization guidelines are given.

Abstract Cyclic structures such as turbomachinery present material and geometrical variations between sectors. These discrepancies are called mistuning and break the cyclic symmetry of the structure. Computing the forced response of mistuned cyclic structures is thus a numerical challenge. The Component Nonlinear Complex Mode Synthesis (CNCMS) is one of the few nonlinear reduced-order model formulations that allow to compute the nonlinear response of tuned and mistuned structures. It has been validated successfully for friction problems. However, in the presence of geometric nonlinearities, internal resonances may arise and they cannot be captured correctly with the CNCMS method. The purpose of this work is therefore to present a new methodology for developing a nonlinear reduced-order model that can successfully capture internal resonances for tuned and mistuned structures. This method, called Component Mode Synthesis with Nonlinear Re-evaluation (CMSNR), is based on a variation of the CNCMS approach. The final modal synthesis uses a multi-harmonic procedure and a re-evaluation of the nonlinear forces on each sector independently. The performance and limitations of the proposed approach are assessed using a simplified example of a blisk subject to polynomial nonlinearities. Different internal resonances are exhibited and studied depending on the type of excitation force and on the level of mistuning.

This paper investigates the effect of manufacturing variations on the blade-alone forced response of a transonic low aspect ratio fan. A simulated set of coordinate measurement machine measurements from a single rotor, representative of actual manufacturing variations, are used to investigate geometric effects. A reduced order model is developed to rapidly solve for the forced response and is based on eigensensitivity analysis and dynamic response mode superposition. An approximation error analysis is conducted to quantify accuracy of the new tool and errors between approximate and full finite element analysis solutions are shown to be small for low order modes with some high order modes having moderate error. A study of the simulated measured blade results show a significant amount of forced response variation along the leading edge of the airfoil. Statistics from this simulated measured rotor are used with Monte Carlo sampling to generate random blades realizations that are solved with the reduced order model. This procedure allows the prediction of the variation across an entire fleet of blades from a small sample of blades. The large variations predicted, up to 40%, could have a significant impact of the blade design process including the procedures to account for foreign object damage damage tolerance, how non-intrusive stress measurement systems are used, and how mistuning prediction algorithms are validated.

Acceleration Rate

A method for predicting the vibratory response of bladed disks under high engine acceleration rates is developed. The method is based on the Fundamental Mistuning Model, an existing reduced order model for predicting the steady-state vibratory response. In addition, a criterion is developed for a critical engine acceleration rate, above which transient effects play a large role in the response. It is shown that military engines operate at acceleration rates above this critical value and therefore transient effects are important in practice.

This paper is focused on the optimization of mistuned blades assembling rearrangement under the forced response. First, in order to avoid the greatly increase of the calculation greatly by the whole circle bladed-disk finite element model, a reduced-order model is developed based on the component mode synthesis. CPU+GPU heterogeneous architecture parallel computation is used to accelerate modal analysis of the disk and blade sectors substructures. Second, a modified ant colony algorithm is applied to the combinatorial optimization to find the optimal rearrangement pattern of bladed-disk assembly. Different from classical algorithm, the individual mistuned information is used to construct heuristic function based on intentional mistuning pattern, which can avoid slow convergence of ant colony algorithm and increase the search speed efficiently. At last, a high-fidelity 3D FEM model with 43 mistuned blades is used to demonstrate the capabilities of the techniques in reducing the maximum displacement resonance response of the bladed-disk system. The numerical simulation showed that this program based on the reduced-order model proposed in this article gained 4.3 speedup compared with ANSYS full model under the scale of 500k nodes. The displacement response amplitude of the blades decreased by 32% with 60 steps (1200 times FEM calculation) by the new optimization method. The physical mechanism of reducing the bladed-disk response is explained by comparing the optimized and worst arrangement patterns. The results clearly demonstrate that the optimized rearrangement pattern of mistuned blades is able to reduce the response amplitude of the forced vibration significantly, and the algorithm proposed in this article is practical and effective.

The results of a complete study of mistuning identification on an industrial blisk are presented. The identification method used here is based on a model-updating technique of a reduced-order model where measured modal data are taken as input. This reduced-order model is build using component mode synthesis and mistuning is introduced as perturbations of the cantilevered-blade modes. The measured modal data are extracted from global measurements of the blisk’s forced response. As we use a one point excitation, this measurement procedure allows the acquisition of the all modes of a given family with a quite simple experimental setup. A selection of the best identified modal data is finally performed. During the mistuning identification procedure, these measured data are regularized using an eigenvector assignment technique which reduces the influence of eventual measurement errors. An inverse problem is defined based on the perturbed (mistuned) modal equation, with measured modes as input and mistuning parameters as unknown. Then, the reduced-order model is updated with the identified mistuning, we first perform a correlation on modal responses (using eigenfrequency deviation criteria and MACs). Finally, correlation results on forced responses are presented and discussed.

AbstractThe two-dimensional, incompressible flow over a rounded backward-facing step at Reynolds number $\mathit{Re}= 600$ is characterized by a detachment of the flow close to the step followed by a recirculation zone. Even though the flow is globally stable, perturbations are amplified as they are convected along the shear layer, and the presence of upstream random noise renders the flow unsteady, leading to a broadband spectrum of excited frequencies. This paper is aimed at suppressing this unsteadiness using a controller that converts a shear-stress measurement taken from a wall-mounted sensor into a control law that is supplied to an actuator. A comprehensive study of various components of closed-loop control design – covering sensor placement, choice and influence of the cost functional, accuracy of the reduced-order model, compensator stability and performance – shows that successful control of this flow requires a judicious balance between estimation speed and estimation accuracy, and between stability limits and performance requirements. The inherent amplification behaviour of the flow can be reduced by an order of magnitude if the above-mentioned constraints are observed. In particular, to achieve superior controller performance, the estimation sensor should be placed upstream near the actuator to ensure sufficient estimation speed. Also, if high-performance compensators are sought, a very accurate reduced-order model is required, especially for the dynamics between the actuator and the estimation sensor; otherwise, very minute errors even at low energies and high frequencies may render the large-scale compensated linearized simulation unstable. Finally, coupling the linear compensator to nonlinear simulations shows a gradual deterioration in control performance as the amplitude of the noise increases.
