     View Summary

    The unsteady flow mechanism of rotating instability (RI) in a 1.5-stage axial compressor is investigated through experimental and numerical analyses. The total pressure increase characteristics of the rotor blades show that a kink point occurred in a case involving a wide clearance, whereas the RI occurred below the kink point. The RI appears in the power spectrum as a gentle hump whose frequency is approximately 20%–40% of the blade-passing frequency at the blade tips. The mode of the RI disturbance increases as the flow rate decreases, whereas the propagation velocity remains unchanged. This causes the RI frequency to increase. The double-phase-locked averaging method is used to visualize the flow field inside the rotor blade when the RI occurred. The results show that as the flow rate decreases, the spacing of the pressure patterns inside the rotor blade decreases and the number of RI modes increases. Results of numerical analysis show that the RI is formed by the repeated collision and separation of the tip leakage vortex onto the pressure surface of the adjacent blade. The fluctuation in the inflow angle of the vortex entering the adjacent blade changes the blade-tip loading. The vortex fluctuations propagate in the circumferential direction.

    Authorship:Lead author

     View Summary

    In this study, the unsteady behavior of a diffuser rotating stall in a centrifugal compressor with a vaned diffuser was investigated through experiments and numerical analyses. From the casing static pressure measurements, it was determined that the diffuser stall propagated at 25% of impeller rotational speed in the vaneless space. The numerical results revealed the presence of a typical vortical structure on the diffuser’s leading edge. Under partial flow condition, a tornado-type vortex was generated on the diffuser’s leading edge. Furthermore, a longitudinal vortex at the shroud/suction surface corner (i.e., leading edge vortex (LEV)) was induced by the rolling-up flow on the diffuser suction surface. As the velocity was decreased, the development of the tornado-type vortex and LEV forms a substantial flow blockage within the diffuser passages. Furthermore, the diffuser stall cell was caused by the systematic vortical structure which consisted of the tornado-type vortex, LEV, and vortex in the throat area of diffuser passages. In addition to this, the developed LEV interacted with the next diffuser leading edge and formed the throat area blockage with the passage of time. Then, the tornado-type vortex and LEV developed by the throat area blockage and diffuser stall cell, which was caused by the systematic vortical structure, propagated to the succeeding diffuser vane. Therefore, the diffuser stall in the centrifugal compressor was caused by the evolution of the tornado-type vortex and LEV.

    Authorship:Lead author

     View Summary

    The experimental and CFD analysis were conducted to investigate the relationship between stall and leading-edge vortex (LEV) in a centrifugal compressor with vaned diffuser. The LEV is distinct from the separating vortex of the diffuser leading-edge and passage vortex of the diffuser. The LEV is made up of two longitudinal vortices. It is produced by the accumulation of vortices caused by the velocity gradient of the impeller-discharge flow. According to the experimental results, both the impeller and diffuser rotating stalls occurred at 55 and 25 Hz during off-design flow operation. Both stall cells were existed only on the shroud side of the flow passages, which is very close to the source location of the LEV. Additionally, the intensity and scale of the diffuser stall fluctuation are much larger than those of the impeller stall fluctuation. Therefore, the unsteady behavior of the LEV may play an important role in the inception of the rotating stall. According to the CFD results, the size of the LEV doesn't change, and the LEV is comparatively stable in the designed flow operation. On the other hand, the LEV develops and forms a huge flow blockage within the diffuser passages during off-design operation. Therefore, the LEV may be considered to be one of the causes of the diffuser stall in the centrifugal compressor.

  • Unsteady Behavior and Control of Vortices in Centrifugal Compressor

    Yutaka Ohta, Nobumichi Fujisawa

    JOURNAL OF THERMAL SCIENCE   23 ( 5 ) 401 - 411  2014.10  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Two examples of the use of vortex control to reduce noise and enhance the stable operating range of a centrifugal compressor are presented in this paper. In the case of high-flow operation of a centrifugal compressor with a vaned diffuser, a discrete frequency noise induced by interaction between the impeller-discharge flow and the diffuser vane, which appears most notably in the power spectra of the radiated noise, can be reduced using a tapered diffuser vane (TDV) without affecting the performance of the compressor. Twin longitudinal vortices produced by leakage flow passing through the tapered portion of the diffuser vane induce secondary flow in the direction of the blade surface and prevent flow separation from the leading edge of the diffuser. The use of a TDV can effectively reduce both the discrete frequency noise generated by the interaction between the impeller-discharge flow and the diffuser surface and the broadband turbulent noise component. In the case of low-flow operation:a leading-edge vortex (LEV) that forms on the shroud side of the suction surface near the leading edge of the diffuser increases significantly in size and blocks flow in the diffuser passage. The formation of an LEV may adversely affect the performance of the compressor and may cause the diffuser to stall. Using a one-side tapered diffuser vane to suppress the evolution of an LEV, the stable operating range of the compressor can be increased by more than 12 percent, and the pressure-rise characteristics of the compressor can be improved. The results of a supplementary examination of the structure and unsteady behavior of LEVs, conducted by means of detailed numerical simulations, are also presented.

  • EFFECTS OF DIFFUSER VANE GEOMETRIES ON COMPRESSOR PERFORMANCE AND NOISE CHARACTERISTICS IN A CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR

    PROCEEDINGS OF THE ASME FLUIDS ENGINEERING DIVISION SUMMER MEETING, 2013, VOL 1B: SYMPOSIA   1 B  2014  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The effects of the diffuser vane geometries on the compressor performance and noise characteristics of a centrifugal compressor equipped with vaned diffusers were investigated by experiments and numerical techniques. Because we were focusing attention on the geometries of the diffuser vane's leading edge, diffuser vanes with various leading edge geometries were installed in a vaned diffuser. A tapered diffuser vane with the tapered portion near the leading-edge of the diffuser's hub-side could remarkably reduce both the discrete frequency noise level and broadband noise level. In particular, a hub-side tapered diffuser vane with a taper on only the hub-side could suppress the development of the leading edge vortex (LEV) near the shroud side of the diffuser vane and effectively enhanced the compressor performance.

     View Summary

    The impeller stall inception in a transonic centrifugal compressor with bleed slots was investigated by the experiments and the unsteady numerical analysis. Both the experimental and CFD results showed that the impeller stall inception occurred first at the leading edge of the splitter blade before that of the main blade. Then, the numerical results revealed also that the blockage development of both pressure and suction side passage of the splitter blade was the main cause of the stall inception. The blockage development within the pressure side was caused by the expansion of the stagnation region, following the development of suction side due to the leading-edge separation. It is because the low momentum fluid was no longer discharged due to the decreasing of bleed air at the inlet of pressure side passage, while the increasing at the inlet of suction side passage. Therefore, while bleed air restrained the blockage development within the suction side passage, it induced the blockage development within the pressure side passage, which affected impeller stall inception.

     View Summary

    This paper presents diffuser stall inception in a centrifugal compressor with fishtail diffuser investigated by experimental and numerical analyses. The numerical simulation showed that the diffuser stall was the two-cell rotating stall originating from the low-speed region that occurred at opposing positions. When the mass flow rate was stable, the separation was observed on the suction side wall at the upstream of the diffuser bend and the secondary flow was observed at the downstream of the bend. Before the stall, the blockage increased due to the suction side boundary layer separation. Because of the separation extending to the throat, the mass flow rate on the throat decreased, leading to stall. The secondary flow crawled under the suction side separation at the bend. In near stall condition, the secondary flow that contributed to the suction side separation was developed at the bend. From these observations, it was concluded that the diffuser stall inception was caused by the suction side boundary layer separation due to the secondary flow development.

    Experiments were conducted to investigate the characteristics of a low-speed 1.5-stage axial compressor under conditions where the blade tip clearance is large and using two different types of blades.The kink point that occurred in the blade total pressure rise characteristic moved to the lower flow rate,and the performance was confirmed to be improved by using modified rotor with an open inlet metal angle.Modified rotor had the effect of improving the flow field inside the rotor blade and delaying the occurring flow rate of rotating instability.On the other hand,at low flow rates,the diffusion factor at the blade tips was increased.These results suggest that opening the inlet metal angle has a positive effect in the high flow rate but has the effect of reducing the stall margin in the low flow rate.

     View Summary

    Unsteady flow structure of a rotating instability (RI) in a 1.5-stage axial compressor was investigated through numerical analyses. The unsteady flow structure during RI occurrence was investigated at two flow rates, conditions φ = 0.42 and 0.38. At φ = 0.42, RI was formed by repeated collision and segmentation of a tip leakage vortex on the pressure surface of the adjacent blade. RI propagated because of the impact of the blockage region resulting from the collision on the blade loading of the adjacent blade. Then, RI was caused by the vortex breakdown of the tip leakage vortex as the mass flow rate was decreased at φ = 0.38. The fluctuation of vortex breakdown influenced on blade loading near the tip side of the next blade and propagated to the next blade passage. Therefore, the cause of RI occurrence shifted from collision and segmentation to vortex breakdown with a reduction in the mass flow rate.

     View Summary

    In a centrifugal compressor with a vane diffuser, unsteady behavior indicating the precursor phenomena of impeller and diffuser stall in the flow range where the performance curve shows a local maximum value takes place. Within the diffuser passages, five non-swirling stall regions are formed, and they slowly begin to rotate as the compressor flow rate decreases. With a further decrease in compressor flow rate, the five cells grow into one large stall cell rotating at higher speed, but the mechanism of this growth has remained largely unclear until now. In this study, therefore, a detailed numerical analysis using DES (Detached Eddy Simulation) was employed to understand the internal flow field, identify the low-speed regions occurring in the impeller and diffuser passages, and elucidate the growth and merging mechanisms of the rotating stall cells.

     View Summary

    The centrifugal compressors with vaned diffusers, compared to vaneless diffusers, are prone to unstable phenomena, such as surges and rotating stalls. The operating range of centrifugal compressors with vaned diffuser is limited by surges and rotating stalls, which can potentially cause serious accidents. Especially, the rotating stall can be recognized as a precursor of surge in the impeller or diffuser passage. Therefore, a better understanding of the physics of the rotating stalls leading to a surge is important in predicting of the surge and for the improvement of the stall margin and the control of rotating stall.This study investigates the evolution process of the diffuser rotating stall in a vaned diffuser of a centrifugal compressor during off-design operation by both experimental and numerical analysis. We revealed the transition characteristics of rotating stalls and the detailed vertical structure of the diffuser stall evolution

  • 軸流圧縮機内部で発生する音響共鳴の構造解明に関する研究

    2025   Dajan Mimic, Joerg Seume

     View Summary

    圧縮機内部で発生する流動不安定現象は、設計と運転において最も重要な課題の1つである。旋回失速は激しい翼振動を引き起こし、構造物の損傷や騒音を発生させ、圧縮機の性能を低下させる。旋回失速に関しては多くの研究がなされているが、近年不安定現象が発生する際に連動して形成される音響共鳴に焦点が当てられている。音響共鳴は、重大な音響加振をもたらし、極端な場合、その音圧変動によって構造物が破損する可能性がある。本研究は、圧縮機内部の流動現象と音響共鳴の関係性を明らかにし、音響共鳴の発生構造を明らかにするものである。そこで、In-house CFD(数値流体力学)コードを用いて、4.5段軸流圧縮機を対象にDelayed-Detached EddySimulation解析を実施した。その結果、音響共鳴発生時には、3段目動翼の翼端漏れ渦の非定常的な変動が音響共鳴の周波数と同期することで、流れと音響のフィードバック構造を持ちながら音響共鳴が初生することが明らかとなった。また、音響共鳴による形成される圧力波が各動翼の負荷を変動させることで、非軸対称な流れ場となること分かった。音響共鳴により形成された非軸対称な流れ場が流量低下とともに発達することで、1段目動翼Tip先端でスピレージを起こし失速に突入することが解明された。以上より、軸流圧縮機で発生する音響共鳴の初生構造および詳細な流れ場、加えて失速への関連を明らかにした。本成果は6月開催の国際学会にて報告予定である。

  • 衝撃波管を有する軸流圧縮機のサージ突入過程における内部流れ調査

    2024  

     View Summary

    本研究では、航空エンジンの燃焼器異常燃焼に伴う衝撃波発生時の圧縮機内部の流動構造を明らかにすることを目的に、衝撃波管を有する軸流圧縮機の内部流れ場を調査する。特に、衝撃波の強さを変化させることで多段圧縮機の前段から後段を模擬し、衝撃波により誘起される逆流が失速初生およびサージ発生に与える影響を調査する。また、衝撃波の強さに応じた作動点の安定・不安定の分別をすることで、圧縮機の衝撃波の強さに応じた限界作動流量を明らかにする。衝撃波入射時の内部流れ場の特徴を捉えるために、非定常流速測定を実施する。また、同翼前後での流速の同時測定を行い、ケーシング壁面圧力を同時測定することで、衝撃波入射時の非定常特性を調査する。また、供試軸流圧縮機を解析モデルとして非定常流体解析を実施する。出口境界条件を変更することで試験と同等に衝撃波の強さを変更し入射する。その際の内部流れ場の過渡的な変化を観察し、衝撃波強さと失速初生の関係およびその内部流動構造を明らかにする。今年度は準備段階として、供試圧縮機を対象とした数値解析コードを確立した。非定常数値解析を実施し、安定運転状態での解析を行った。その結果、圧縮機性能など試験と良い一致が得られた。加えて、失速近傍にて旋回不安定擾乱と呼ばれる不安定流動現象が確認された。旋回不安定擾乱は動翼の翼端漏れ渦の振動による非定常挙動に起因しており、数値解析結果よりその発生メカニズムを明らかにした。

  • 遠心圧縮の羽根付ディフューザ内部で発生する失速予兆現象に関する調査

    2023  

     View Summary

    本研究では、遠心圧縮機の幾何形状がもたらす非軸対称性により発生するディフューザ旋回失速発生前の失速予兆現象の流動構造を解明することを目的とする。試験と数値解析を組み合わせ失速予兆現象の非定常的な挙動を分析することで失速セルおよび予兆現象の形成過程を調査した。失速予兆現象発生時の内部流れ場の特徴を捉えるために、非定常の数値流体解析を実施する。また、ディフューザ流路壁面の壁面圧力計測およびディフューザ流路内での流速の同時多点測定を行い、その非定常現象の特性を解析結果と比較検証する。ディフューザ流路壁面の圧力測定および非定常数値解析より、サージ形成前に5つの旋回失速セルが発生することが明らかになった。この失速セルは、5つの流路内部の失速域が流量低下とともに旋回し始めることで、形成していることが分かった。また、渦型室による非軸対象の圧力場の影響を排除するために、渦型室を無くした非定常解析を実施した。この解析結果より、旋回失速発生前にディフューザにて5つの静止した失速域が形成していることが分かった。このため、この5つの静止した低速域は渦型室の影響で発生したのではなく、ディフューザ流路にて発生するモードであることが分かった。次年度は、周方向の多点圧力測定より、静止した5つの低速域を試験において確認する。

    本研究では、軸流圧縮機のサージ・旋回失速共存形態での複雑流動を解明・検証し、サージの発生構造を明らかにすることを目的とする。軸流圧縮機の作動範囲を縮小するサージ・旋回失速発生時の内部流れは非常に複雑であり、両者の関連性の普遍的な理解は未だ無い。また、数値解析により予測された失速の詳細な渦構造を試験で解明した例は無く、解析の妥当性も検証されていない。そこで、1.実機試験・数値解析により、翼端隙間の変化および圧縮波入射による内部流動構造の違いがサージサイクルの切り替わりに与える影響を調査する。さらに、2.圧縮波入射時の動翼前後の圧力変動を検証する。本年度は、多段圧縮機に圧縮波を入射した際に内部流れ場の影響を調査するために、まずは単段形態での基礎的なデータを取得する。軸流圧縮機の作動範囲を縮小するサージ・旋回失速発生時の内部流れを調査する前段階として、高精度の数値解析コードの作成を行った。サージ点の予測精度が未だ不十分であるが、次年度にて非定常解析を導入しサージ点の予測精度を向上する。その後、数値解析により、旋回失速の流動構造の違いがサージサイクルの切り替わりに与える影響を調査する。また、圧縮機入射によるサージサイクルの挙動変化を調査した。動翼前後の非定常圧力変動を調査し、圧縮波入射による動翼前後の圧力変動の位相差を明らかにした。次年度以降は、多段圧縮機に形態を変更し、圧縮波入射の影響が上流に伝播することによる内部流れ場に与える影響を調査する.

    本研究では、遠心圧縮機の幾何形状がもたらす非軸対称性により発生するディフューザ旋回失速の初生機構を解明し、汎用的な失速形成モデルを提案することを目的とする。特に、解析により得られた失速周りの流れを、壁面の圧力測定や流速測定により検証した。失速セル前後の内部流れ場の特徴を捉えるために、ディフューザ流路壁面の壁面圧力計測および流速測定を行い、失速セルの周波数に同期させた渦位相平均手法を導入した。数値解析より得られた旋回失速周りの流動構造と同様に、失速前縁において流れが加速することによる低圧域、失速後縁にて低速域に主流が衝突することによる高圧域が生じることを試験にて明らかにした。

     View Summary

    本研究は遠心圧縮機において,サージ点近傍にて発生する旋回失速の拡大機構を実機計測から調査したものである.特に,渦型室が形成する非軸対称の圧力場が旋回失速の初生位置に与える影響を調査した.ディフューザ壁面圧力を周方向に複数流路で測定した結果,運転点に関わらず舌部近傍でディフューザ出口において静圧が上昇することが分かった.失速点において,舌部における静圧上昇の影響により舌部に近いディフューザ流路スロート部にてブロッケージの形成による局所的な圧力上昇が確認できた.以上の結果より,旋回失速の初生箇所と渦型室の非軸対称の圧力場との関係が明らかとなった.
