Full textAbstract:
The losses caused by the leakage flows through the rotor tip clearance, and the mixing losses by the re-entering leakage into the main flow are considerable parts of the total losses in turbines. The main reason for the mixing losses is the different velocity components of main and leakage flows. This leads to shear stresses which cause increased turbulence and losses. This article presents a numerical investigation on three different configurations to control the leakage flows: (a) turning vanes are fixed onto the casing between the fins to turn the shroud leakage flow into the main flow direction in order to reduce the circumferential mixing losses; (b) honeycomb bands are inserted into the casing to weaken the leakage flow in the circumferential direction and reduce the circumferential mixing losses due to the special hexagon structure; and (c) downstream edge of the cavity is chamfered to reduce the radial velocity component of the leakage jet and the separation at the downstream edge, and also to reduce the streamwise mixing losses. A 1.5-stage axial turbine with high-aspect ratio blading was used in this study to investigate the sealing designs as mentioned. The flow simulation results of the three configurations were analysed and compared in this article.

AbstractA majority of aircraft components are nowadays manufactured using autoclave processing. Essential for the quality of the component is the realization of an airtight vacuum bag on top of the component to be cured. Several ways of leakage detection methods are actually used in industrial processes. They will be dealt with in this paper. A special focus is put on a new approach using flow meters for monitoring the air flow during evacuation and curing. This approach has been successfully validated in different trials, which are presented and discussed. The main benefit of the method is that in case of a leakage, a defined limit is exceeded by the volumetric flow rate whose magnitude can be directly correlated to the leakage’s size and position. In addition, the potential of this method for the localization of leakages has been investigated and is discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Control of compressor tip clearance flows is explored in a linear cascade using three types of fluidic actuators; normal synthetic jet (NSJ; unsteady jet normal to the mean flow with zero net mass flux), directed synthetic jet (DSJ; injection roughly aligned with the mean flow), and steady directed jet (SDJ), mounted on the casing wall. The effectiveness of each active control technique is determined in terms of its ability to achieve: (1) reduction of tip leakage flow rate, (2) mixing enhancement between tip leakage and core flow, and (3) increase in streamwise momentum of the flow in the endwall region. The measurements show that the NSJ provides mixing enhancement only, or both mixing enhancement and leakage flow reduction, depending on its pitchwise location. The DSJ and SDJ actuators provide streamwise momentum enhancement with a consequent reduction of clearance-related blockage. The blockage reduction associated with the use of NSJ is sensitive to actuator frequency, whereas that with the use of DSJ is not. For a given actuation amplitude, DSJ and SDJ are about twice as effective as NSJ in reducing clearance-related blockage. Further the DSJ and SDJ can eliminate clearance-related blockage with a time-averaged momentum flux roughly 16% of the momentum flux of the leakage flow. However, achieving an overall gain in efficiency appears to be hard; the decrease in loss is only about 30% of the expended flow power from the present SDJ actuator. Guidelines for improving the efficiency of the directed jet actuation are presented.

Full textAbstract:
Tip leakage flow is usually responsible for the deterioration of compressor performance and stability. The current paper conducts numerical simulations on the impact of casing aspiration on the axial compressor cascade performance. Three aspiration schemes with different chordwise coverage are studied and analyzed. It is found that the cascade performance can be effectively improved by the appropriate casing aspiration, and the optimum aspiration scheme should cover the area including the onset point of tip leakage vortex and its vicinity. The control mechanisms are different for the aspiration schemes located at different blade chord ranges. For the aspiration scheme covering the onset point of tip leakage vortex, the improvement of the cascade performance is mainly due to that the starting point of the tip leakage vortex is shifted downstream. The original tip leakage vortex structure is divided into two parts if the aspiration scheme is located behind the onset point of tip leakage vortex and the final control effect is the combination of the influence from the two different parts of tip leakage vortex. Additionally, the casing aspiration redistributes the blade loading along the chord near blade tip. The results of these investigations may offer guidance for the appropriate design of aspiration scheme in the future updated compressors and the overall total pressure loss coefficient caused by aspiration slot should be considered in the design process.

Full textAbstract:
The losses generated by fluid leaking across the shrouds of turbine blade rows are known to form a significant proportion of the overall loss generated in low aspect ratio turbines. The use of shrouds to encase the tips of turbine blades has encouraged the development of many innovative sealing arrangements, all of which are intended to reduce the quantity of fluid (the leakage fraction) leaking across the shroud. Modern sealing arrangements have reduced leakage fractions considerably, meaning that further improvements can only be obtained by controlling the leakage flow in such a way so as to minimize the aerodynamic losses incurred by the extraction and re-injection of the leakage flow into the mainstream. There are few published experimental investigations on the interaction between mainstream and leakage flows to provide guidance on the best means of managing the leakage flows to do this. This paper describes the development and testing of a strategy to turn the fluid leaking over shrouded turbine rotor blade rows with the aim of reducing the aerodynamic losses associated with its re-injection into the mainstream flow. The intent was to extract work from the leakage flow in the process. A four stage research turbine was used to test in detail the sealing design resulting from this strategy. A reduction in brake efficiency of 3.5 percent was measured. Further investigation suggested that much of the increase in loss could be attributed to the presence of axial gaps upstream and downstream of the shroud cavity which facilitated the periodic ingress and egress of mainstream fluid into the shroud cavity under the influence of the rotor potential field. This process was exacerbated by reductions in the leakage fraction.

Full textAbstract:
As one of the key components of aero engines, compressor is required to endure higher pressure, possess higher efficiency and wider operating range. Intensive studies have been made on tip leakage flow and researchers find that by reasonably organizing tip leakage flow, aero engines are more likely to achieve better performance and reliability. Conventional flow controlling methods like casing treatment and micro jet could substantially modify tip leakage flow, unfortunately with a price of additional loss, not to mention the difficulty in manufacturing such structure. Whereas plasma actuation flow control method uses plasma actuators, such equipment is easy to build, responses fast and has a wide excitation bandwidth. This method has become a new trend in internal flow active control field. In this research, a phenomenological model is adopted to simulate DBD plasma actuation in the flow field inside a compressor cascade. The aim is to find out how plasma actuation will influence tip leakage flow. Meanwhile possible means to improve plasma actuation performance are discussed. First of all, numerical simulation of flow inside a compressor cascade without plasma actuation is conducted to validate accuracy of the numerical methodology adopted and then determine one numerical approach that satisfies specific needs sufficiently. Meanwhile, influence of casing movement on tip leakage flow as well as possible mechanism of tip leakage vortex core generation is investigated in detail. The results indicate: 1. Generating position of tip leakage vortex moves towards leading edge with increasing moving speed of shroud. 2. As shroud moving speed increases, trajectory of tip leakage vortex moves away from suction side of blade and closely towards shroud. 3. Casing movement tends to transform tip leakage vortex from circular to oval shape due to circumferential shearing. 4. Casing movement has little influence on total pressure field concerning absolute pressure value. While total pressure loss does reduce slightly with increasing moving speed of shroud. 5.Vorticity transport from tip clearance into passage may be contributing significantly to generation of tip leakage vortex inner core. Secondly, a simplified model of DBD plasma actuation based on literature [1] is derived and applied through UDF function of commercial software Fluent into the flow field. Different actuation positions, voltages and frequencies are applied in simulation and compared. After that casing movement is included. Main conclusions are as follow: 6. Plasma actuation shows significant suppressing effect on tip leakage vortex on both size, trajectory and strength. 7. The suppressing effect on tip leakage vortex grows stronger as actuator moves towards leading edge. 8. Increasing actuation voltage results in stronger suppressing effect on tip leakage vortex. 9. Plasma actuation can effectively improve total pressure loss situation near shroud region with increasing actuation power. 10. Increasing actuation frequency results in stronger suppressing effect on tip leakage vortex as well. Additionally, frequency performs slightly better than voltage. 11. Casing movement tends to weaken suppressing effect of tip leakage vortex by plasma actuation. More actuation power is needed to achieve sufficient suppressing effect in real compressors.Som en av de viktigaste komponenterna i flygmotorer krävs det att kompressorn utsätts för högre tryck, har högre effektivitet och större driftsintervall. Intensiva studier har gjorts om skovlarnas toppspel läckageflöde och man anser att det är mer sannolikt att flygmotorer uppnår bättre prestanda och tillförlitlighet genom att på ett rimligt sätt reglera läckageflödet i toppspelet. Konventionella metoder för reglering av flödet, som behandling av “casing” och mikrojet, skulle kunna ändra läckageflödet avsevärt, men medför tyvärr ytterligare förlust, för att inte tala om svårigheten att tillverka en sådan struktur. Samtidig flödeskontroll med hjälp av plasma aktuatorer som är relativt lätta att bygga, reagerar snabbt och har en bred excitationsbandvid. Denna metod har blivit en ny trend inom det interna flödesaktiva kontrollområdet. I denna forskning antas en modell för att simulera plasmaaktivering av DBD i flödesfältet i en kompressorskaskad. Man försöker ta reda på hur plasmaaktivering påverkar läckageflödet. Möjliga sätt att förbättra effekten av plasmaaktivering diskuteras. För det första genomförs numerisk simulering av flödet i en kompressorskaskad utan plasmaaktivering för att validera noggrannheten i den numeriska metoden. Därefter undersöks i detalj vilken inverkan den relativa rörelsen av ”casing” har på läckageflödet genom toppspelet och mekanismen för toppspelsvirvel analyseras. Resultaten visar: 1. Startposition för läckagevirveln rör sig mot skovelns framkant när man introducerar och ökar den relativa hastigheten för ”casing”. 2. I takt med att den relativa hastigheten ökar, kretsbanan för läckage virveln rör sig bort från skovelns sugsida och närmare mot ”casing”. 3. Den relativa rörelsen tenderar att omvandla virveln från cirkulär till oval form på grund av skjuvkrafter. 4. Den relativa rörelsen av ”casing” påverkar inte det totala tryckfältet när det gäller det absoluta tryckvärdet. Samtidigt som den totala tryckförlusten minskar något med ökad hastighet. 5. Virveltransport från toppspelet till huvudkanalen kan på ett betydande sätt bidra till att skapa virvelns inre kärna. I senare delen av arbetet utvecklas och tillämpas en förenklad modell för plasmaaktivering av DBD baserad på litteratur [1], genom att använda UDF‐funktionen i kommersiell CFD programvara Fluent. Olika aktuatorläge, spänningar och frekvenser prövas i simuleringen och jämförs. De viktigaste slutsatserna är följande: 6. Aktuering av plasma visar en betydande dämpningseffekt på läckagevirveln i toppspelet både va det gäller dess storlek, bana och styrka. 7. Den dämpande effekten på läckagevirveln blir starkare när aktuator monteras närmare skovelns framkant. 8. Ökad aktuatorspänning leder till en starkare dämpande effekt på läckagevirveln. 9. Ökad aktuatorfrekvens leder till starkare dämpningseffekt på läckagevortex också.mDessutom fungerar frekvensen något bättre än spänningen. 10. Den relativa rörelsen av ”casing” försvagar effekten av plasmaaktuering. För att uppnå tillräcklig dämpningseffekt i riktiga kompressorer krävs mer effekt till aktuatorn.

This study presents the results of an experimental study that investigates the effects of uniform/waveform tip injection along the camberline on the total pressure loss characteristics downstream of a row of Low Pressure Turbine (LPT) blades. The experiments are performed in a low speed cascade facility. This injection technique involves spanwise jets at the tip that are issued from a series of holes along the camber line normal to the freestream flow direction. The injection mass flow rate from each hole is individually controlled using computer driven solenoid valves and therefore the flow injection geometrical pattern at the tip can be adjusted to any desired waveform shape, and can be uniform as well as waveform along the camber. Measurements involve Kiel probe traverses for different injection scenarios 0.5 axial chords downstream of the blades. Results show that, instead of performing uniform mass injection along the camberline, by selecting an appropriate waveform injection pattern one can reduce the total loss levels of the blade, including the tip leakage loss as well as the wake losses.

A fast and efficient method to calculate time schedules for internal and boundary PRVs and flow modulation curves has been developed and implemented. Both time and flow modulation can be applied to a single inlet DMA. The time modulation methodology is based on solving a nonlinear programming problem (NLP). In addition, Genetic Algorithms (GA) has been proposed and investigated to calculate the optimal coefficients of a second order relationship between the flow and the outlet pressure for a PRV to minimize the background leakage. The obtained curve can be subsequently implemented using a flow modulation controller in a feedback control scheme. The Aquai-Mod® is a hydraulic device to control and modulate the outlet pressure of a PRV according to the valve flow. The controller was experimentally tested to assess its performance and functionality in different conditions and operating ranges. The mathematical model of the controller has been developed and solved, in both steady state and dynamic conditions. The results of the model have been compared with the experimental data and showed a good agreement in the magnitude and trends. A new method for combined energy and pressure management via integration and coordination of pump scheduling with pressure control aspects has been created. The method is based on formulating and solving an optimisation NLP problem and involves pressure dependent leakage. The cost function of the optimisation problem represents the total cost of water treatment and pumping energy. Developed network scheduling algorithm consists of two stages. The first stage involves solving a continuous problem, where operation of each pump is described by continuous variable. Subsequently, the second stage continuous pump schedules are discretised using heuristic algorithm. Another area of research has been developing optimal feedback rules using GA to control the operation of pump stations. Each pump station has a rule described by two water levels in a downstream reservoir and a value of pump speed for each tariff period. The lower and upper water switching levels of the downstream reservoir correspond to the pump being “ON” or “OFF”. The achieved similar energy cost per 1 Ml of pumped water. In the considered case study, the optimal feedback rules had advantage of small number of ON/OFF switches, which increase the pump stations lifetime and reduce the maintenance cost as well.

Ce travail de thèse, mené dans le cadre d’une convention CIFRE entre Snecma, le CERFACS et le LMFA, s’inscrit dans un contexte d’amélioration des performances et d’extension de la plage de fonctionnement des compresseurs de type axial équipant les turboréacteurs. L’une des principales difficultés rencontrée dans cette démarche concerne la maîtrise des écoulements dans la zone de jeu en tête des aubes rotors et qui peuvent entraîner une perte de stabilité du système (pompage et décollement tournant).Une solution technologique prometteuse pour améliorer la stabilité est le traitement de carter qui consiste en un dispositif passif complexe de fentes implantées au carter au droit des rotors. En vue d’en améliorer sa conception, les travaux de thèse visent plus particulièrement à approfondir la compréhension des mécanismes d’action grâce à une approche numérique CFD avec le code elsA développé par l’ONERA et le CERFACS, en modélisation stationnaire et instationnaire. Ces travaux s’articulent autour de trois axes principaux. Le premier a eu pour objectif de développer un outil numérique d’aide à la compréhension des mécanismes d’action des traitements de carter et de diagnostic de leur efficacité. Le principe de l’outil, qui est une extension du modèle initialement proposé par Shabbir et Adamczyk, repose sur une évaluation des contributions des termes des équations de Navier-Stokes stationnaires et instationnaires sur un volume de contrôle pris dans l’écoulement. Dans le cas pratique, cela revient à quantifier les efforts appliqués sur le fluide. Le second axe traite de l’analyse des mécanismes d’action des traitements de carter axisymétriques dans deux compresseurs axiaux : l’un subsonique à carter cylindrique (CREATE) et l’autre transsonique à carter conique (NASA Rotor 37). Les enseignements de cette étude indiquent que ce type de géométrie est marqué par son effet d’aspiration de fluide dans la veine. Ce mécanisme est d’autant plus amplifié par un phénomène d’interaction complexe des fentes avec l’écoulement de jeu et la proximité de l’intrados de l’aube adjacente. Cette partie s’est également attardé à la réponse des rainures à un phénomène instationnaire de type sillage de roue amont. Les résultats ont montré que les fentes amortissent les fluctuations de gradient de pression adverse. Le troisième axe porte sur l’analyse des mécanismes des traitements de carter non-axisymétriques à travers l’étude numérique d’un cas test transsonique à carter cylindrique (CBUUA). Le mécanisme d’action améliorant la stabilité de la machine tient en la capacité des fentes à limiter la migration dans la direction circonférentielle du vortex de jeu. Les résultats montrent que ce type de géométrie est caractérisé par son effet de réinjection d’air qui vient ré-énergétiser l’écoulement proche carterThis thesis work, conducted as part of a CIFRE agreement between Snecma, CERFACS and LMFA, deals with the context of improving performance and extending the operating range of axial compressors fitted turbojets. One of the main difficulties in this approach is the flow control in the rotor tip region, which can cause the loss of the system stability (surge and rotating stall). A promising technology known to bring substantial stability is the casing treatment. This passive control device consists of slots of complex geometry within the rotor casing. In order to improve its design, the thesis aimed specifically at improving the understanding of their mechanisms through a numerical approach using the CFD code elsA developed by ONERA and CERFACS, with steady and unsteady approaches. This work focused on three main axes. The first concerns the development of a numerical tool to support the understanding of casing treatment mechanisms and the diagnosis of their efficiency. The principle of the tool, which is an extension of the model originally proposed by Shabbir and Adamczyk, is based on an assessment of the contributions of the terms of the steady and unsteady Navier-Stokes equations on a control volume taken in the flow. In practice, this permits to quantify the forces applied to the fluid. The second axis deals with the analysis of the flow mechanisms induced by axisymetric casing treatments in two axial compressors : one subsonic with a cylindrical casing (CREATE) and the other transonic with a conical casing (NASA Rotor 37). The findings of this study indicate that this type of geometry is characterized by its bleeding effect. This mechanism is further amplified by a complex phenomenon of interaction between grooves, tip leakage vortex and the proximity to the pressure side of the adjacent blade. This part has also dwelt on the groove’s response to unsteady upstream stator wakes. The results showed that the slots are able to damp fluctuations of adverse pressure gradient. The third area concerns the analysis of the flow mechanisms induced by non-axisymmetric casing treatment through the numerical study of a transonic compressor with cylindrical casing (CBUUA). The mechanism leading to an enhancement of the stability results in slots ability to limit the migration in the circumferential direction of the tip leakage vortex. The results show that this type of geometry is characterized by its effect of re-injection of fluid that comes re-energize the near casing flow

Aujourd’hui, la fabrication des turbomachines est conditionnée par des normes de plus en plus restrictives. L'enjeu industriel pour les chercheurs est d'envisager des solutions optimales visant à réduire les sources de perte d'énergie, d'instabilité et du bruit, en particulier l'écoulement de jeu (débit de fuite). Des actions préliminaires ont été élaborées à Arts & Métiers ParisTech sur le rotomoulage du ventilateur axial de refroidissement d'automobile. L'idée de ce travail est d'utiliser la forme creuse induite par le rotomoulage afin de l'exploiter dans le controle de l'écoulement de jeu radial par soufflage rotatif. Pour cela, la virole comporte des trous d'injection orientés de façon à réduire simultanément le débit de fuite et le couple. Dans ce travail, trois parties ont été traité. La première concerne la réalisation du ventilateur par rotomoulage. La deuxième concerne l'étude expérimentale menée dans le banc d'essai ISO 5801. Cette étude comporte la réalisation d'un montage dédié au contrôle par soufflage rotatif, la métrologie menée pour la détermination des performances globales et la caractérisation de la vitesse axiale du sillage proche. La troisième partie traite la modélisation numérique des conditions expérimentales rentables ensuite l'extrapolation du travail vers des taux d'injection importants. Pour ce dernier, on arrive à annuler le débit de fuite avec un gain considérable du couple mettant ainsi le ventilateur en autorotationNowadays, the manufacture of turbomachinery is conditioned by more and more restrictive rules. The industrial challenge for researchers has to consider optimal solutions to reduce sources of energy loss, instability and noise, particularly the tip clearance flow (leakage flow rate). Preliminary actions have been developed at Arts & ParisTech on rotational molding process used for the automobile cooling axial fan. The idea of this work is to use the hollow shape induced by rotational molding process in order to exploit it in the control of tip clearance flow through rotary steady air injection. For this, the shroud ring is composed of injection holes oriented in such away to reduce both of leakage flow rate and the torque. In this work, the thesis focuses on three parts. The first concerns the build of the fan by rotational molding process. The second concerns the experimental study carried out in the ISO 5801 test bench. This study involves the realization of drive system dedicated to rotary steady air injection, metrology for performance determination and the characterization of the near wake axial velocity. The third part deals with the numerical modeling of efficient experimental conditions, then the extrapolation of work towards high injection rates. For this latter, it is possible to cancel leakage flow rate with a considerable gain of the torque thus putting the fan in autorotation

L’épaisseur de la couche limite incidente au carter et le chargement de l’aube ont ´égalementun effet visible sur la position latérale du tourbillon de jeu. Le calcul du taux de création d’entropie local a permisd’identifier plusieurs zones de pertes dans l’écoulement. Ensuite, les pertes de pression totale ont été décomposéesen la somme d’un terme li´e au tourbillon et d’un autre li´e au déficit de vitesse longitudinale. Ce terme li´e autourbillon est responsable de l’augmentation des pertes de pression totale avec la taille du jeu. Enfin, un modèleempirique a été développé pour estimer la circulation du tourbillon de jeu ainsi que les pertes de pression totaleen fonction de la taille du jeu. Un système d’injection continue d’air dans le jeu a été évalué, les jets étant orientésperpendiculairement au carter. D’une part, cette stratégie de contrôle permet de rapprocher le tourbillon de jeude l’aube, ce qui pourrait permettre d’augmenter le domaine de fonctionnement stable d’un compresseur. D’autrepart, le champ de vorticité axiale dans le tourbillon de jeu devient plus homogène, ce qui serait intéressant pourlimiter les interactions rotor-stator. Cependant cette approche tend `a augmenter les pertes de pression totale etperd en efficacité avec un élargissement du jeuThis study aims at providing a detailed description of the tip-leakage flow, in order to analyzeits sensitivity to design parameters and to control devices based on air injection from the casing. The setup iscomposed of a single blade, set orthogonal to a flat plate that plays the role of the casing wall. The analysis isbased on experiments conducted in a low-speed wind tunnel that are complemented by CFD calculations. Thetip-leakage flow is primarily driven by the gap height. The incoming boundary layer thickness and the bladeloading also have a notable effect on the lateral position of the tip-leakage vortex. The distribution of local entropycreation rate has been used to identify areas of losses in the flow. Moreover, the total pressure losses have beendecomposed in two terms identified as a vortex loss and a wake loss. This vortex loss drives the increase of totalpressure losses with the gap height. An empirical model has been developped to predict the evolution of thetip-leakage vortex circulation and of the total pressure losses with respect to the gap height. A steady injection ofair from the casing has been evaluated, using normal jets in the gap. With this control strategy, the tip-leakagevortex tends to be closer to the blade, which could lead to an extension of the range of stable operation for axialcompressors. In addition to that, the control device smoothes out the axial vorticity field in the tip-leakage vortex,which could be interesting to reduce rotor-stator interactions. However, this control strategy leads to higher totalpressure losses and is less effective with larger gaps

Full textAbstract:
The Danube Delta is the newest land formed by both transporting sediments brought by Danube River, which flows into the Black Sea and by traversing an inland region where water spreads and deposits sediments. Diurnal tidal action is low (only 8–9 cm), therefore the sediments would wash out into the water body faster than the river deposits it. However, a seasonal fluctuation of water level of 20 cm was observed in the Black Sea, contributing to alluvial landscape evolution in the Danube Delta. The Danube Delta is a very low flat plain, lying 0.52 m above Mean Black Sea Level with a general gradient of 0.006 m/km and only 20% of the delta area is below zero level. The main control on deposition, which is a combination of river, wind-generated waves, and tidal processes, depends on the strength of each one. The other two factors that play a major role are landscape position and the grain size distribution of the source sediment entering the delta from the river. The Danube Delta is a natural protected area in the South-Eastern part of Romania, declared a Biosphere Reserve through the UNESCO “Man and Biosphere” Programme. Water is a determining factor for all the human settlements in the Biosphere Reserve, the whole Danube Delta being structured by the three branches of the Danube (Chilia, Sulina and Sfantu Gheorghe (Saint George)). Our case study is focused on the Sulina branch, also named Sulina Channel, which offers the shortest distance between the Black Sea (trough Sulina Port) and Tulcea (the most important city of the Danube Delta from economic, social and cultural points of view) for both fluvial and marine ships. The improvement of water resources management is the main topic of this chapter, in terms of water quality indicators, which will be presented in twenty-nine monitoring points, starting since a few years ago and updated to nowadays. During the study period, significant exceedances of the limit value were detected in case of nitrate-N (3.9–4.6 mg/L) at the confluence (CEATAL 2) with the Saint George branch and in the Sulina Channel after the Wastewaters Treatment Plant (WWTP) discharge area, as well as near two settlements, namely Gorgova and Maliuc. The higher concentrations of Nitrogen-based nutrients were caused by the leakage from the old sewage systems (where these exist) and the diffuse loads.

Full textAbstract:
Tip leakage flow through the small gap between the blade tip and the casing wall in turbomachinery reduces the aerodynamic performance of the blade. New ring-type dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma actuators have been developed to facilitate active control of the tip leakage flow of a turbine rotor. In the present study, the ring-type plasma actuators consisted of metallic wires coated with insulation material, mounted in an insulator embedded in the tip casing wall. For the fundamental experiments using a flat plate and a single airfoil with tip clearance, particle image velocimetry (PIV) was used to obtain two-dimensional velocity field measurements near the plate and blade tip regions. From flat plate experiments in a static flow field, it was confirmed that the operation of the plasma actuator generates an upward flow at the corner between the blade tip and the casing wall, and this forms a perpendicular obstacle to the tip leakage flow. In flat plate experiments on tip leakage flow in a wind tunnel, the forcibly-induced tip leakage flow was successfully dissipated by means of the plasma actuator flow control. In single airfoil experiments, the tip leakage flow was also reduced by the plasma actuator. In annular turbine rotor experiments, the plasma emission at the blade tip and its motion with blade rotation were determined. Single-element hot-wire anemometry was used to measure the turbulence intensity distributions at the turbine rotor exit. The amplitude of input voltage for the plasma actuator was varied from ±3.0 to ±6.0 kV. The high turbulence intensity region created by the tip leakage flow was reduced with an increase in the input voltage of the plasma actuator.

Full textAbstract:
Performance of an axial fan unit used in ducted fan based propulsion systems is closely related to its tip leakage mass flow rate and the level of tip/casing interactions. The present experimental study uses a stereoscopic Particle Image Velocimeter to quantify the three dimensional mean flow observed at just downstream of a ducted fan unit. After a comprehensive description of the baseline fan exit flow, a number of novel tip treatments based on pressure side extensions are introduced. Various tip leakage mitigation schemes are introduced by varying the chordwise location and the width of the extension in the circumferential direction. The current study shows that a proper selection of the pressure side bump location and width are the two critical parameters influencing the success of each tip leakage mitigation approach. Significant gains in axial mean velocity component are observed when a proper pressure side tip extension is used. It is also observed that a proper tip leakage mitigation scheme significantly reduces the tangential velocity component near the tip of the axial fan blade. Reduced tip clearance interactions are essential in improving the energy efficiency of ducted fan systems. A reduction or elimination of the momentum deficit in tip vortices are also expected to reduce the adverse performance effects originating from the unsteady and highly turbulent tip leakage vortical flows rotating against a stationary casing.

Full textAbstract:
Control of compressor tip clearance flows is explored in a linear cascade using three types of fluidic actuators; Normal Synthetic Jet (NSJ; unsteady jet normal to the mean flow with zero net mass flux), Directed Synthetic Jet (DSJ; injection roughly aligned with the mean flow), and Steady Directed Jet (SDJ), mounted on the casing wall. The effectiveness of each active control technique is determined in terms of its ability to achieve: (1) reduction of tip leakage flow rate, (2) mixing enhancement between tip leakage and core flow, and (3) increase in streamwise momentum of the flow in the endwall region. The measurements show that the NSJ provides mixing enhancement only, or both mixing enhancement and leakage flow reduction, depending on its pitchwise location. The DSJ and SDJ actuators provide streamwise momentum enhancement with a consequent reduction of clearance-related blockage. The blockage reduction associated with the use of NSJ is sensitive to actuator frequency, whereas that with the use of DSJ is not. For a given actuation amplitude, DSJ and SDJ are about twice as effective as NSJ in reducing clearance-related blockage, Further the DSJ and SDJ can eliminate clearance-related blockage with a time-averaged momentum flux roughly 16% of the momentum flux of the leakage flow. However, achieving an overall gain in efficiency appears to be hard; the decrease in loss is only about 30% of the expended flow power from the present SDJ actuator. Guidelines for improving the efficiency of the directed jet actuation are presented.

Full textAbstract:
A field-effect transistor is developed on PDMS microchannel to control flow in microfluidic chips by modifying the surface charge condition. By applying a gate voltage to one side of the microchannel wall, zeta potential at that side is altered, while the zeta potential at the other side is maintained at the original value. This non-uniform zeta potential results in a secondary electroosmotic flow in lateral direction, which is used for flow control in microchannel geometries. The flow control is observed both quantitatively and qualitatively at relatively low voltage (less than 50 [V]), and this local flow control is primarily due to the leakage current through the interface between PDMS and glass layers. To verify the experimental results, a leakage capacitance model is introduced to estimate the modified zeta potential for the straight channel case, and excellent agreement is obtained between the predicted and experimental zeta potential results.

Full textAbstract:
The losses generated by fluid leaking across the shrouds of turbine blade rows are known to form a significant proportion of the overall loss generated in low aspect ratio turbines. The use of shrouds to encase the tips of turbine blades has encouraged the development of many innovative sealing arrangements, all of which are intended to reduce the quantity of fluid (the leakage fraction) leaking across the shroud. Modern sealing arrangements have reduced leakage fractions considerably, meaning that further improvements can only be obtained by controlling the leakage flow in such a way so as to minimise the aerodynamic losses incurred by the extraction and re-injection of the leakage flow into the mainstream. There are few published experimental investigations on the interaction between mainstream and leakage flows to provide guidance on the best means of managing the leakage flows to do this. This paper describes the development and testing of a strategy to turn the fluid leaking over shrouded turbine rotor blade rows with the aim of reducing the aerodynamic losses associated with its re-injection into the mainstream flow. The intent was to extract work from the leakage flow in the process. A four stage research turbine was used to test in detail the sealing design resulting from this strategy. A reduction in brake efficiency of 3.5% was measured. Further investigation suggested that much of the increase in loss could be attributed to the presence of axial gaps upstream and downstream of the shroud cavity which facilitated the periodic ingress and egress of mainstream fluid into the shroud cavity under the influence of the rotor potential field. This process was exacerbated by reductions in the leakage fraction.

Full textAbstract:
This paper reports on quantitative tests of passive techniques for rotor-tip noise control in low-speed axial flow fans, based on blade-tip modifications involving the addition of anti-vortex appendages as end-plates. The end-plate thickness chord-wise distribution is determined to control the chord-wise evolution of the leakage vortex rotation number. The results confirm that the new end-plate configurations provide a mechanism by which leakage vortex bursting can be avoided. As such, the modified rotors represent an effective means of passive control of vortex breakdown.
