内容記述 | This paper presents the results of a computational study on the effect of axial spacing between the vane and blade rows of a transonic turbine stage. The study was performed on the mid-span section of a high-pressure turbine stage using a quasi-3D, unsteady Navier-Stokes solver that provides a fully interactive vane-blade unsteady flow solution. Three different cases were considered, corresponding to axial spacings of 20%, 40%, and 60% of the vane axial chord. The calculated vane and blade pressure distributions for the 40 percent case were found to compare favorably with experimental measurements acquired in a short-duration shock tunnel. In addition, the analysis shows a marked increase in the amplitude of the unsteady pressure fluctuations on the vane and blade surfaces as the spacing decreases. Time-averaged stage adiabatic efficiency predictions for each case are presented to show the effect of spacing on aerodynamic performance. |
