Abstract
This paper investigates the clocking effect in subsonic compressor element stages and the influence of design parameters on the flow mechanism. We focus on the relationship between the wake-induced separation loss and wake mixing loss and the unsteady mechanism in the wake flow process without considering the transition through several steady and unsteady numerical simulations aimed at a series of subsonic compressor element stages. The simulation results indicate that the performance difference at various indexing positions depends on the relationship between wake mixing loss and wake-induced separation loss for different compressor designs and operating conditions. Furthermore, the pressure transport caused by the negative jet of the Stator 0 wake in Rotor 1 creates a local acceleration region called SFAF, and a decrease in its absolute flow angle reduces the Stator 1 separation. Sufficient rim work of the rotor at highly loaded operating conditions is the basis for generating an effective SFAF. Furthermore, the fore-loading blade of Rotor 1 significantly reduces suction surface pressure drop, and a small angle between the stagger angles of Stator 0 and Rotor 1 increases the unsteady rotor load caused by the upstream wake to the total rotor load, both of which enhance SFAF.
期刊介绍:
Applied Sciences (ISSN 2076-3417) provides an advanced forum on all aspects of applied natural sciences. It publishes reviews, research papers and communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Electronic files and software regarding the full details of the calculation or experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary electronic material.
