A CFD-based design method for transonic axial compressor blades was developed based on three-dimensional Navier-Stokes flow physics. The method employs a sectional three-dimensional (S3D) analysis concept where the three-dimensional flow analysis is performed on the grid plane of a span station with spanwise flux components held fixed. The S3D analysis produced flow solutions nearly identical to those of three-dimensional analysis, regardless of the initialization of the flow field. The sectional design based on the S3D analysis can include three-dimensional effects of compressor flows and thus overcome the deficiencies associated with the use of quasi-three-dimensional flow physics in conventional sectional design. The S3D design was first used in the inverse triode to find the geometry that produces a specified target pressure distribution. The method was also applied to optimize the adiabatic efficiency of the blade sections of Rotor 37. A new blade was constructed with the optimized sectional geometries at several span stations and its aerodynamic performance was evaluated with three-dimensional analyses.

가스터빈 림 씰 연구의 주요 목표 중 하나는 고온의 주 유동 유입을 차단하여 디스크 내부의 열 손상을 방지하는 것이다. 이를 위해 지금까지 림 씰의 형상에 대한 연구와 함께 이를 개선하기 위한 연구도 수행되었다. 또한, 실제 터빈에 림 씰 형상을 적용하기 위해서는 터빈 작동 시에 발생할 수 있는 다양한 상황에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수치해석을 통해 회전부 림 씰 위치의 두께가 변화하는 상황에 대해 연구하였다. 연구는 반지름 방향으로 로터 림 씰이 상향된 경우와 림 씰 내부 방향으로 로터 디스크가 확장된 상황을 모사하여 진행하였다. 그 결과, 유입되는 이차유동의 양에 따라 각 경우에서 서로 다른 내부 압력과 씰링 성능 및 유동이 발생함을 확인하였다.

An experimental study of turbine performance is conducted with various incidence angles on a rotating turbine rotor. 5 different incidence angles are applied from -17$^{\circ}$to 13$^{\circ}$with 7.5$^{\circ}$gaps. In order to precisely set up the incidence angles at the rotor inlet, 5 turbine discs are manufactured with the different fir tree section. Total-to-total efficiencies are obtained on the several off-design points with considering the exit total pressure, which is meas fred at 12 locations between the hub and casing using a pressure rake. The degree of reaction is 0.373 at the mean radius, and Reynolds number based on the rotor chord is 0.86$\times$10$^{5}$ at the turbine inlet on the design point experiment. The experiment on a single-stage turbine is conducted at the low-pressure and low-speed state, but it is sufficient to consider the blade loading effect due to the rotating apparatus even though the total pressure loss at the exit is increased proportionally to the turbine output power. The experimental results recommend 6$^{\circ}$as an optimum incidence angle on the turbine blade design. The total-to-total efficiency is steeply decreased when the incidence angle is over $\pm$9$^{\circ}$ from the optimum incidence angle. In the range of less than -10$^{\circ}$incidence angle, 7.5$^{\circ}$ reduction of incidence angle generates 15% decrease of total-to-total efficiency. This result is obtained on the same rotor blade by changing only the rotational speed to minimize the effect of profile and secondary flow loss in the passage. Experimental results show that the change rate of total-to-total efficiency according to the incidence angle change is unchanged although the turbine operates at the off-design condition.

Because of overload working condition of sintering cooler, the cooler fan often suffers the break or damage of rotor blade and fixing shaft. Therefore, internal flow characteristics of a steelworks sintering cooler fan by the duct shape of the cooler fan outlet, such as duct outlet opening ratio, duct height and dividing wall shape on the duct outlet flow pattern are examined in detail. The results show that relatively short duct wall height and attachment of dividing wall shape improves flow patterns considerably.

본 연구에서는 액체로켓엔진의 터보펌프용 초음속 터빈 로터 블레이드에 스윕 각도 ${\pm}15^{\circ}$를 적용하여 전방스윕(FSW), 후방스윕(BSW)모델의 유동형태 및 성능을 기준모델(NSW)과 비교하여 스윕 적용의 효과를 살펴보았다. 3차원 Navier-Stokes 유동해석에는 상용 코드인 FLUENT 6.3 Parallel을 사용하였다. BSW 모델은 기준 모델(NSW)에 비해 팁 간극으로 빠져나가는 누설 손실량을 줄이는데 효과가 있었고 정효율 증가에도 영향을 미쳤다. BSW 모델은 앞전 충격파의 강도를 다소 완화 시키고 허브 부근의 영역에서 다른 모델에 비해 좋은 성능을 보인다.

헬리콥터용 2단 축류압축기의 성능향상을 위한 설계/재설계 과정에서 수치해석을 통한 성능예측 및 내부유동분석에 대한 연구가 수행되었다. 기초 설계된 2단 압축기에 대한 유동해석을 통하여 스톨, 쵸크 등의 주요한 유동현상의 발생원인을 파악하였다. 또한 전압력 상승, 효율, 출구유동분포 등의 계산값이 실험값과의 비교에서 비교적 잘 일치하는 결과를 얻음으로써 유동해석을 통한 다단 압축기 성능예측에 대한 가능성을 검증하였으며, 재설계의 방향을 제시하였다. 따라서 3차원 유동해석은 다단 압축기의 개발 및 설계변경에 있어서 실험을 대신하여 적은 비용과 시간을 들이고도 만족한 결과를 얻을 수 있는 가능성을 보여 주었다. 1D/2D 기법으로 재설계된 압축기는 요구성능에는 다소 미흡하지만 재설계의 목적과 방향에 성공적으로 부합함을 보였다. 그러나 보다 나은 성능을 위해 향후 3차원적인 블레이드의 설계변경이 필요할 것으로 예측되었다.

The effects of guide vanes and tip clearances on the characteristics nf axial flow fans are investigated both computationally and experimentally. Performance test of fans carried out in full scale shows considerable effects of tip clearance between rotor tip and duct on the characteristics of fans. The tested results are compared with the computation based on the finite volume method to solve the Navier-Stoke equations with $textsc{k}$-$\varepsilon$ turbulence model. The comparison shows good agreements between experimental and computational results. In addition, the effects of shape of guide vanes are numerically studied. The results show that increased volume of separated region around the guide vane reduces the recovery of tangential component of kinetic energy in the wake, resulting in loss of efficiency

A method to search the design parameters for optimum stage matching has been used based on a 1-D mathematical model of a compressor, which uses the data obtained from the preliminary test to identify the design parameters. This methodology was applied with a two-stage axial compressor, which was originally designed for a helicopter gas turbine engine. After Identifying design parameters using preliminary test data, an optimization process has been employed to achieve the best matching between the stages (i.e., maximum efficiency of the compressor at its operation modes within a given range of the rotor speed under given restrictions for required stall margins and mass flow). 3-D flow calculations have been performed to confirm the usefulness of the corrections based on 1-D mathematical model. Calculational results agree well with the experimental data in view of the performance characteristics. Some promising results were produced through the methodology proposed in this paper in conjunction with flow calculations.

A numerical study is performed to investigate the interaction between subsonic axial turbine blade boundary layer and periodically oncoming rotor induced wakes. An implicit scheme for solving the compressible Navier-Stokes equation is developed, which adopts a 4th-order compact difference for spatial discretiztion, a 2nd order Crank-Nicolson scheme for temporal discretization and the dynamic eddy viscosity model as the subgrid scale model. The efficiency and the accuracy of the proposed method are verified by applying to some benchmark problems such as laminar cylinder flow, laminar airfoil cascade flow and a transitional flat plate boundary layer flow. Computational results show good agreements with previous experimental and numerical results. Finally, flow through a stator cascade is simulated at $Re = 7.5{\times}10^5$ without free-stream turbulence intensity. The velocity fields and skin friction coefficients in the transitional region show similar trends with previous boundary layer natural transition.

This paper describes the shape optimization of a stator blade in a single-stage transonic axial compressor. The blade optimization has been performed using response surface method and three-dimensional Navier-Stokes analysis. Two shape variables of the stator blade, which are used to define a stacking line, are introduced to increase an adiabatic efficiency. Data points for response evaluations have been selected by D-optimal design, and linear programming method has been used for an optimization on a response surface. Throughout the shape optimization of a stator blade, the adiabatic efficiency is increased to 5.8 percent compared to that of the reference shape of the stator. The increase of the efficiency is mainly caused by the pressure enhancement in the stator blade. Flow separation on the blade suction surface of the stator is also improved by optimizing the stator blade. It is noted that the optimization of the stator blade is also useful method to increase the adiabatic efficiency in the axial compressor as well as the optimization of a rotor blade, which is widely used now.
