Numerical analysis of the partial admission turbine in the KARI turbopump has been performed. Flow field of the partial admission turbine is intrinsically unsteady and three dimensional. To avoid heavy computational efforts, the frozen rotor method is adopted in computation and compared with the mixing plane approach. The frozen rotor method can represent the variation of a flow field along the circumferential direction of rotor blades, which have the different relative positions to the nozzle with one another. It also illustrates the wake loss mechanism starting from the lip of a nozzle, which is not captured in the mixing plane method. The frozen rotor method has proven to be an efficient tool for the design of a partial admission turbine.

초기 설계과정에서 4가지 1.4MW급 터보펌프용 터빈설계안을 도출한 후 각각의 설계안에 대하여 프로즌 로터기법을 적용한 3차원 유동해석을 수행하였다. 이 결과를 통하여 각각의 설계안간의 성능을 비교하고 가장 성능이 우수한 설계안을 선정하였다. 계산결과의 분석을 통하여 유로에서의 유동특성과 충격파와 후류에 의해 발생되는 손실을 파악하였으며 이 분석 결과를 바탕으로 보다 우수한 성능을 보일 것으로 예측되는 설계안을 도출한 후 이에 대한 3차원 유동해석을 수행하여 결과를 분석하였다.

The present study represents the effects of boundary condition on the performance of a centrifugal blower at the interference plane between rotational and stationary domains using three dimensional compressible Navier-Stocks equations. Two boundary conditions, frozen-rotor and stage, are compared to analyze the blower performance. Installation angle between the cutoff of a volute casing and a impeller blade is also introduced to evaluate the blower performance and to understand the internal flow inside the blower. Throughout numerical simulation, it is found that the frozen rotor interface method at the interference plane represents well the variations of flow field inside the blower compared to stage interface method. However, pressure has maximum two percent error according to the installation angles while pressure is almost constant for the stage interface method. And stage interface method can relatively well predict the blower performance. Detailed internal flows of the centrifugal blower are compared and analyzed by numerical simulation.
