The objective of this study is to verify the secondary flow and the total pressure loss distribution in the boundary layer fence installed linear turbine cascade passage and to propose an appropriate height of the boundary layer fence which shows the best loss reduction among the simulated fences. In this study three different boundary layer fence was installed which have different height. This study was performed by numerical method and the result showed the boundary layer fence which has the height of one third of the inlet boundary layer thickness showed the best loss reduction rate.

본 연구에서는 터빈익렬의 입구유동면에 주어지는 끝벽 경계층유동에 의하여 익렬 내의 유동에서 발생하는 여러 와류들에 의한 2차 유동과 이와 연관된 여러가지 3차원 점성유동 현상 그리고 이에 따른 유동손실을 보다 정확히 예측하기 위한 수치해 석적 연구를 수행하였으며, 이에 필요한 수치해석적 연구를 수행하였으며, 이에 필요 한 수치해석코드를 작성하였다.유동특성에 대하여 상세한 연구결과가 보고되어 있 는 UTRC(United Technologies Research Center) 평면 터빈익렬을 연구대상으로 채택하 여 익렬 내의 3차원 유동특성을 연구하고 계산한 결과를 기존의 결과와 비교 검토하였 다. 강한 2차유동이 존재하는 경우에 발생하는 수치확산을 감소시키기 위하여 대류 항에 대하여 2차 정확도(second-order accuracy)의 선형상류도식(linear upwind sche- me)을 사용하여 일반적으로 널리 사용되는 하이브리드도식(hybrid scheme)에 의한 해 석결과와 비교하였다. 터빈익렬 내의 난류 유동은 익렬의 회전과 유선의 만곡 등에 의한 영향으로 복잡한 유동현상을 나타내지만, 터빈익렬 내의 난류유동 특성에 대한 실험결과가 아직까지는 부족하고 또한 본 연구에서는 평균유동값의 정확한 해석에 중 점을 두었으므로 표준 k-.epsilon. 모델을 사용하였다.

Three-dimensional endwall flow within a linear cascade passage of high performance turbine blade is simulated with a 3-D Navier-Stokes CFD code (MOSA3D), which is based on body-fitted coordinate system, pressure-correction and finite volume method. The endwall flow characteristics, including the development and generation of horseshoe vortex, passage vortex, etc. are clearly simulated, consistent with the generally known tendency. The effects of both turbulence model and convective differencing scheme on the prediction performance of endwall flow are systematically analyzed in the present paper. The convective scheme is found to have stronger effect than the turbulence model on the prediction performance of endwall flow. The present simulation result also indicates that the suction leg of the horseshoe vortex continues on the suction side until it reaches the trailing edge.

Numerical simulation of viscous compressible flow in turbomachinery cascade involves many problems due to the complex geometry of blade but also flow phenomena. In the present study, numerical investigations have been performed to examine the three-dimensional flow characteristics inside the transonic linear turbine cascades using a commercial code, FLUENT. Multi-block H-type grids are applied to the high-turning turbine rotor blades and comparisons with the experimental data and the numerical results have been done. In addition, the effects of turbulence models on the prediction of the endwall flows are analyzed in the sense of the flow compressibility.

Heat transfer coefficients and static pressure distributions on a gas turbine vane endwall were experimentally investigated in a 5 bladed linear cascade. The Reynolds number based on an axial chord length and the cascade exit velocity was 500,000. Both heat transfer and pressure measurements on the vane endwall were made at the two different turbulence intensity levels of 6.8% and 10.8%. Detailed heat transfer coefficient distributions on the vane endwall region were measured using a hue detection based transient liquid crystals technique. Results show various regions of high and low heat transfer coefficients on the vane endwall surface due to several types of secondary flows and vortices. Heat transfer coefficient and endwall static pressure distributions showed similar trends for both turbulence intensity, however, the averaged heat transfer coefficients for higher turbulence intensity case was higher than the lower turbulence intensity case by 15%.

This study aims to analyze the aerodynamics when the geometry of the turbine rotor is modified. The turbine used in this study is a small engine used in the APU of a helicopter. It is difficult to improve the performance of small engines owing to the structural weakness of the blade tip. Therefore, the improvement of the hub geometry is investigated in many ways. The working fluid of a turbine is a high-temperature and high-pressure gas. The heat transfer rate of the turbine surface should be considered to avoid the destruction of blade owing to the heat load. The SST turbulence model gives an excellent prediction of the aerodynamic behavior and heat transfer characteristics when the numerical simulations are compared with the experimental results. In conclusion, the aerodynamic efficiency is improved when a bulbous design is applied to the leading edge near the hub. The endwall loss is reduced by 15%.

High pressure nozzles and turbines of a gas turbine engine should be required to be operated under extreme operating conditions in order to maximize the performance. Engine manufactures have utilized nickel-base superalloys, enhanced cooling design, and thermal barrier coating techniques to overcome them and furthermore, material modeling, finite element analysis, optimization techniques, and etc. have been utilized widely for elaborate predictions. We aim to evaluate the effects on the low cycle fatigue life of the high pressure turbine blade caused by thermal barrier coatings and the cooling design of the endwall of the first stage turbine nozzle. To achieve it, the structural analysis, which utilized the results of conjugate heat transfer analysis as loading boundary conditions, was performed and then the results were the input for the assessment of low cycle fatigue life at several critical zones.

The paper describes the results of an experimental investigation of the heat transfer rate on the endwall surface within the plane turbine cascade passage and includes the effect of the heat transfer for the two different boundary layer thicknesses and Reynolds numbers. The limiting streamlines on the endwall surface have been visualized by the oil film method in order to compare with the endwall heat transfer. The hue-capturing method using the termochromatic liquid crystals with great spatial resolution has been used to provide the local distribution of the endwall heat transfer coefficients. Because the detailed contours of the local heat transfer coefficients over the entire endwall can be obtained from the hue-capturing method, it has been possible to obtain information on the endwall heat transfer within the plane turbine cascade passage from these heat transfer contours.
