A Study on the Quasi-3-Dimensional Compressible Flow Calculation by Introduction of Viscous Loss Model in Axial-Flow Compressor

점성 손실모델 도입에 의한 축류 압축기 준 3차원 압축성 유동해석

A numerical calculation is carried out for the analysis of 3-dimensional compressible flow field in axial-flow rotating blades by using finite element method. The calculation of flow in impellers plays a dominant role in the theoretical research and design of turbomachines. Three-dimensional flow fields can be obtained by the quasi-three-dimensional iterative calculation of the flows both on blade-to-blade stream surfaces and hub-to-shroud stream surfaces with the introduction of viscous loss model in order to consider a loss due to viscosity of fluid. In devising the loss model, four primary sources of losses were identified: (1) blade profile loss (2) end wall loss (3) secondary flow loss (4) tip-leakage loss. For the consideration of an axially parabolic distribution of loss, the results of present calcullation are well agreed with the results by experiment, thus the introduction of loss model is proved to be valid.

본 연구에서는 Wu가 제시한 수학적 모델에 기초를 둔 비점성 준3차원 유동해 석에 실제 유체의 점성효과 및 2차유동 등에 의해 발생하는 손실들을 손실모델로 반영하여 그 타당성 유무를 검토하는 데 목적을 두었다.
