Recently, needs for UAVs and small aircraft and small turbo jet or turbo fan engines for these air-crafts are increasing. Size and weight are the two main restrictions in small air-crafts such as UAV or VLJ propulsion system applications. Therefore, high power density is required in small size and designers come up with unconventional solutions in the design of small aero gas turbine engines. One of the solutions is the usage of highly loaded axial compressors. This paper introduces an aerodynamic design method of a highly loaded axial compressor and its review process. Numerical simulation has been carried out to assess the aerodynamic performance of the compressor.

이륙중량 4000kg, 10-12인승급 다목적 헬리콥터에 적용가능한 엔진 개량 개발을 목표로 기존 헬리콥터 엔진을 개량대상으로 선정하고 이러한 다목적 헬기의 요구조건에 부합하기 위해 기존 엔진의 요소부품을 재설계하였다. 첫 단계로 최소변경으로 720 hp에서 840 hp로 출력을 증강시키기 위하여 2단 축류압축기의 기존 입구 유도익을 제거하고 익현의 길이를 증가하여 유량 및 압축비를 증가시킴으로써 출력 증강을 얻도록 재설계를 수행하였다. 이러한 2단 축류압축기의 성능을 검증하기 위하여 두 번째 단 단독시험 및 전체 2단에 대한 성능시험이 수행되었으며 첫 번째 단의 성능은 이 결과로부터 도출되었다. 성능시험결과 전체 2단 압축기는 유량 3.088 kg/s에서 압력비 2.14, 단열효율 88%의 성능을 갖는 것으로 나타났으며 압축기 출구의 압력 및 온도 분포를 레이크를 이용하여 측정하였다.

Generally the variable guide vane is used to secure the sufficient operating point in the off-design condition. In this study the inlet guide vane, 1st and 2nd stators in a multi-stage axial compressor are movable to obtain the operating range. So the effects of variable guide vane setting angle on the performance of 2.5 stage axial compressor were investigated at 70 % and 90 % conditions of nominal rotating speed in this paper. The steady-state and unsteady numerical analyses were conducted at each operating condition. The performance map, lost efficiency and flow fields were compared.

축류 압축기 블레이드(blade)와 베인(vane)이 정하중(static load)에서 충분한 강도를 지니고 있더라도 반복하중이나 교번하중을 받게되면, 그 하중이 작더라도 파괴가 일어날 수 있다. 축류 압축기 블레이드와 베인의 피로파괴(fatigue failure) 현상은 개발 중인 가스터빈엔진 뿐만 아니라 현재 운용중인 엔진에서도 발생할 수 있는 엔진손상의 주요 원인이다. 블레이드나 베인의 동적 안정성 평가는 에어포일(airfoil)의 피로특성과 엔진운용조건에 따라서 발생하는 복잡한 공력가진과의 연관성을 고려하여 수행되어야 하기 때문에, 해석과 구성품 시험을 통하여 우선적으로 강도 평가를 실시하여야 한다.(중략)

MDO Optimization for a low pressure axial compressor rotor has been carried out to improve aerodynamic performance and structural stability. Global optimized solution was obtained from an artificial neural network model with genetic algorithm. Optimized rotor model has a high blade loading near hub and near zero incidence flow angle near tip region to reduce the incidence loss and flow separation at trailing edge region. Also the rotor shape is converged to a trapezoid shape to reduce the maximum stress occurred at the root of the blade. Numerical simulation results show that rotor has 87.6% rotor efficiency and safety factor over than 3.

A rotating stall, an instable phenomenon of compressor, brings about reducing the pressure rise, the efficiency of compressor and a mechanical demage. In order to improve instability and extend operating range, it was performed that a stability enhancement experiment applying air injection method at the 4-stage low-speed axial compressor. The coanda nozzle was used to inject air in axial direction at rotor tip and 8 injectors were set up at regular interval at the upstream of 1st stage rotor. At 80% speed, injectors were worked before rotating stall happened. As injecting the 5.4% air of mode inception flow rate, the stability of compressor operation enhanced about 4%.

A computational study on the performance prediction of a two-stage axial compressor has been performed. A quasi-steady mixing-plane method is used on the rotor/stator interface to simulate the unsteady interaction phenomena. Detail flow mechanisms, for example, choke, stall, shock/boundary interaction, etc., have been observed and discussed in conjunction with performance characteristics. Calculational data agree reasonably well with the experimental data in terms of the performance characteristics showing the applicability of computational methods to the design validation of multistage axial compressors instead of experimental methods. But it is found that the stall margin of the original compressor was rather small, thus the design modification adopting a simple 1D/2D method has been conducted and its corresponding computations are also carried out. As a result of the redesign process, the stall margin becomes wide enough, but the overall performance is unsatisfactory, therefore, it seems that the redesign of the blades using 3-D methods is needed in the future work.
