Two cases with circumferential grooves were designed for a transonic compressor, and 3-D numerical simulations were conducted for stall mechanism at three representative speeds. A conclusion can be drawn from the comparison between compressors with or without casing treatment that: with the rising of rotation speed, stall margin increases dramatically under the help of casing treatments, and the case with middle grooves has reasonable compromise between stall margin increment and efficiency cutting. At lower speed, the increment reduces, and grooves at the back of blade tip have more influence on stall margin. Further investigation shows there is a transition in mechanism of compressor stall with the decline of rotational speed: at high rotation speed, the expansion of stall margin mainly results from the suppression of tip leakage vortex by casing treatments, yet it benefits more from the depression of boundary layer separation from suction surface of blade tip.

In this study, a parametric study on a cavity as casing treatment of a centrifugal compressor has been conducted using three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with shear stress transport turbulence model. Two kinds of cavity were applied at choke and surge conditions, respectively, in this work. Inlet and outlet port widths, angle of outlet port, and length of cavity were chosen as the geometric parameters and investigated to find their effects on the aerodynamic performances such as adiabatic efficiency at design mass flow rate and stall margin of the centrifugal compressor. It was found that the aerodynamic performances of the centrifugal compressor were affected considerably by the four geometric parameters. The adiabatic efficiency was hardly changed by the geometric parameters, excepts for the angle of outlet port. With an increase in the angle of outlet port, the adiabatic efficiency and the stall margin decreased. The stall margin was more sensitive to the outlet port width than to the other geometric parameters. And, with a decrease in the outlet port width, the stall margin increased by 2% compared to that of the reference.

Performance of a low speed axial compressor is enhanced through a proper configuration of blade row tip injection and casing treatment of groove type. Air injectors were mounted evenly spaced upstream of the blade row within the casing groove and were all aligned parallel to the compressor axis. The groove, which covers all the blade tip chord length, extends all-round the casing circumference. Method of investigation is based on solution of the unsteady form of the Navier-Stokes equations utilizing $k-{\omega}$ SST turbulence model. Extensive parametric studies have been carried out to explore effects of injectors' flow momentums and yaw angles on compressor performance, while being run at different throttle valve setting. Emphasis has been focused on situations near to stall condition. Unsteady numerical analyses for untreated casing and no-injection case for near stall condition provided to discover two well-known criteria for spike stall inception, i.e., blade leading edge spillage and trailing edge back-flow. Final results showed that with only 6 injectors mounted axially in the casing groove and at yaw angle of 15 degrees opposite the direction of the blade row rotation, with a total mass flow rate of only 0.5% of the compressor main flow, surprisingly, the stall margin improves by 15.5%.

본 연구에서는 870 MW 대형 석탄화력 발전소에서 출력을 고정시키고 과잉공기비 조정만으로 통풍계통 안정 및 보일러 효율에 어떠한 변화가 있는지를 분석하였으며 이에 따른 적정 과잉공기비를 선정하였다. 과잉공기비 조정에 따라 공기예열기 압력강하, 유인송풍기 실속여유 등이 변하므로 통풍계통 안정화를 위해 적정 과잉공기비 선정은 반드시 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 과잉공기비를 통상 운전 값인 1.153에서 운전지침서상의 하한 값인 1.127까지 단계적으로 조정하여 공기예열기 압력강하, 유인송풍기 1차 실속여유, 보일러 효율, 각종 손실 등을 측정하였고 보일러 효율도 동등수준이상으로 유지하면서 통풍계통도 위험수준에서 안전하게 이격시켜 안정화에 기여할 수 있는 적정 과잉공기비를 선정하였다. 적정 과잉공기비는 운전지침서 상의 하한 값인 1.127까지 낮추어 운전하는 것이 바람직하다고 판단된다.

The effect of 15% pinched diffuser in a centrifugal air compressor with a cascade airfoil diffuser on the aerodynamic performance is investigated using a numerical approach. The commercial CFD code for three-dimensional, turbulent, compressible flow fields is executed for various mass flow rates at a design speed which can be obtained as long as the calculation succeeds. The pinched diffuser is found to help improve the instability of flow within vaneless diffuser space, especially the reverse flow near shroud, and to change both stall/surge line and choking line to increase the surge margin. It is also found to generate more favorable increase of static pressure in diffuser region, and to increase the resulting pressure ratio and efficiency.

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.

An experimental study on the performance and instability development characteristics of a centrifugal compressor equipped with an adjustable inlet guide vane has been performed with varying guide vane angles. The test was conducted at the design speed of 20,800 rpm for 6 guide vane angles : $-30^{\circ},\;-20^{\circ},\;10^{\circ},\;0^{\circ},\;10^{\circ},\;20^{\circ},\;30^{\circ}$. Unsteady pressures were measured using high-frequency pressure transducers at the inducer to investigate the instability phenomena such as rotating stall and surge inside the compressor. From the unsteady measurements, it is found that the transient process from rotating stall to surge was mainly affected by inlet guide vane angles. The results of the present study can be applied to the instability control of the centrifugal compressors using a adjustable inlet guide vane.

This study presents an aerodynamic design and an experimental performance test of a turbo air compressor consisted of mixed-flow impeller and curved diffuser for the PEM fuel cell vehicle application. Many studies compare the efficiency, cost or noise level of high-pressure and low-pressure operation of PEM fuel cell systems. Pressure ratio 2.2:1 is considered as design target The goal of compressor design is to enlarge the flow margin of compressor from surge to choke mass flow rate to cover the operational envelope of FCV. Large-scale rig test is performed to evaluate the compressor performance and to compare the effects of compressor exit pipe volume to stall or surge characteristics. The results show that the mixed-flow compressor designed has large flow margin, and the flow margin of compressor configuration with small exit volume is larger than that with large exit volume.

This paper presents a numerical investigation of the effect of the rotation speed on the performance in a transonic axial compressor with the dihedral stator. Four stator geometries with different stacking line variables were tested in the flow simulations over the whole operating range. It was found that a large shroud loss at the rotor outlet and the subsequent shroud corner separation in the stator passage occurred at low mass flow rate with the 100 % design speed. The hub dihedral stator could suppress the shroud loss region and consequently improve the stall margin. In case of the 70 % design speed condition as the mass flow rate decreased, it was seen that the high loss region was placed at the midspan of the rotor passage. The dihedral stator slightly affected the local diffusion factor, but the performance of the compressor was not changed.
