Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aerodynamic shape optimization of axial gas turbines in three dimensional flow is addressed. An effective and practical shape parameterization strategy for turbine stages is introduced to minimize the adverse effects of three-dimensional flow features on the turbine performance. The optimization method combines a genetic algorithm (GA), with a Response Surface Approximation (RSA) of the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) type. During the optimization process, the individual objectives and constraints are approximated using ANN that is trained and tested using a few three-dimensional CFD ow simulations; the latter are obtained using the commercial CFD package Ansys-Fluent. To minimize three-dimensional effects, the stator and rotor stacking curves are taken as the design variable. They are parametrically represented using a quadratic rational Bezier curve (QRBC) whose parameters are directly and explicitly related to the blade lean, sweep and bow, which are used as the design variables. In addition, a noble representation of the stagger angle in the spanwise direction is introduced. The described strategy was applied to optimize the performance of the E/TU-3 axial turbine stage which is designed and tested in Germany. The optimization objectives introduced the isentropic efficiency and the streamwise vorticity, subject to some constraints. This optimization strategy proved to be successful, fexible and practical, and resulted in remarkable improvements in stage performance.

Book excerpt: This paper presents an exhaustive experimental documentation of the three-dimensional nature of the flow in a one-and-one-half stage axial turbine. The intent was to examine the flow within, and downstream of, both the stator and rotor airflow rows so as to delineate the dominant physical mechanisms. Part 1 of this paper presents the aerodynamic results including: (1) airflow and endwall surface flow visualization, (2) full-span airfoil pressure distributions, and (3) radial-circumferential distributions of the total and static pressures, and of the yaw and pitch angles in the flow. Part 2 of the paper presents results describing the mixing, or attenuation, of a simulated spanwise inlet temperature profile as it passed through the turbine. Although the flow in each airfoil row possessed a degree of three-dimensionality, that in the rotor was the strongest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a monograph on aerodynamics of aero-engine gas turbines focusing on the new progresses on flow mechanism and design methods in the recent 20 years. Starting with basic principles in aerodynamics and thermodynamics, this book systematically expounds the recent research on mechanisms of flows in axial gas turbines, including high pressure and low pressure turbines, inter-turbine ducts and turbine rear frame ducts, and introduces the classical and innovative numerical evaluation methods in different dimensions. This book also summarizes the latest research achievements in the field of gas turbine aerodynamic design and flow control, and the multidisciplinary conjugate problems involved with gas turbines. This book should be helpful for scientific and technical staffs, college teachers, graduate students, and senior college students, who are involved in research and design of gas turbines.
Download or read book Three Dimensional Flow and Temperature Profile Attenuation in an Axial Flow Turbine written by David H. Joslyn and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While strongly three dimensional and highly unsteady nature of the flow in axial turbines has, until recently, defied in-depth analysis, the benefits that can be realized from an improved capability to predict the aerodynamics and heat transfer in turbines are numerous. These benefits include improved performance through higher efficiency, higher thrust-to-weight ratio through higher turbine inlet temperature, and improved durability through more precise predictions of local heat load. This program was particularly interested in the aerodynamic mechanisms affecting attenuation of a radial temperature profile in the flow as it passed through the turbine. The radial temperature profile in the flow exiting a combustor and entering a turbine can range from compressor exit temperature (approx = 1100 F) near the hub and tip end walls to a maximum (as high as 3200 F) in the midspan region. The heat load at any location on the turbine airfoils or end walls depends strongly on the local gas temperature at that location; hence the mixing, or attenuation, of the inlet temperature profile is of critical importance. This program has advanced the state-of-the-art by providing: 1) an exhaustive aerodynamic data base for the three dimensional flow in a large scale axial turbine; 2) an exhaustive data base documenting the mixing of a simulated combustor exit temperature profile as it passed through the turbine; and 3) an assessment of sota three dimensional time accurate, Navier-Stokes prediction of the flow in the turbine stage. Keywords: Temperature redistribution. (EDC).

Although all three rows contributed to profile attenuation, the impact of the rotor was strongest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a thorough description of actual, working aerodynamic design and analysis systems, for both axial-flow and radial-flow turbines. It describes the basic fluid dynamic and thermodynamic principles, empirical models and numerical methods used for the full range of procedures and analytical tools that an engineer needs for virtually any type of aerodynamic design or analysis activity for both types of turbine. The book includes sufficient detail for readers to implement all or part of the systems. The author provides practical and effective design strategies for applying both turbine types, which are illustrated by design examples. Comparisons with experimental results are included to demonstrate the prediction accuracy to be expected. This book is intended for practicing engineers concerned with the design and development of turbines and related machinery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aerodynamics of Wind Turbines is the established essential text for the fundamental solutions to efficient wind turbine design. Now in its second edition, it has been entirely updated and substantially extended to reflect advances in technology, research into rotor aerodynamics and the structural response of the wind turbine structure. Topics covered include increasing mass flow through the turbine, performance at low and high wind speeds, assessment of the extreme conditions under which the turbine will perform and the theory for calculating the lifetime of the turbine. The classical Blade Element Momentum method is also covered, as are eigenmodes and the dynamic behaviour of a turbine. The new material includes a description of the effects of the dynamics and how this can be modelled in an ?aeroelastic code?, which is widely used in the design and verification of modern wind turbines. Further, the description of how to calculate the vibration of the whole construction, as well as the time varying loads, has been substantially updated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is now an essential and effective tool used in the design of all types of turbomachine, and this topic constitutes the main theme of this book. With over 50 years of experience in the field of aerodynamics, Professor Naixing Chen has developed a wide range of numerical methods covering almost the entire spectrum of turbomachinery applications. Moreover, he has also made significant contributions to practical experiments and real-life designs. The book focuses on rigorous mathematical derivation of the equations governing flow and detailed descriptions of the numerical methods used to solve the equations. Numerous applications of the methods to different types of turbomachine are given and, in many cases, the numerical results are compared to experimental measurements.
