摘要

在跨音压气机中,旋转失速到喘振的过渡过程是非常短暂的,通常压气机旋转失速后来不及采取措施来防止喘振。因此,有必要寻找一些旋转失速的先兆,其出现可以为喘振的预防提供充足的时间。本研究对旋转失速发生前的一系列工况进行了全周非定常气动CFD分析,并仔细分析该过程中非定常流动特征的变化规律来寻找失速先兆。研究发现在不同工况下的非定常流场中存在周向节径数不同的扰动波并将其作为旋转失速的先兆,该扰动从叶片前缘产生,在周向和轴向充分发展,并以固定的转速在周向旋转,最终确认该失速先兆的时空模态特征可用于旋转失速预警。

Abstract

Since the transition from rotating stall to surge in a transonic compressor at high speed is very quick, quite often there is no time to take measures to prevent the surge. Therefore, it is desired to find any rotating stall precursors, of which the occurrence can offer sufficient time for stall or surge prevention. In this study, a series of unsteady flow analyses were performed on a transonic compressor under operating conditions before rotating stall with unsteady results scrutinized to find rotating stall precursors. Particular attention is paid to the spatial modes and time modes of static pressure near the casing and around the blade leading and trailing edges. The results show that the characteristics of the precursor in both spatial and time domains can be used as rotating stall warnings.
