Projects and Major Achievements

Supported by the key technology research and model development projects of gas turbine completed by the Institute , the development of advanced medium-sized gas turbine design tools with independent intellectual property rights has been accomplished., The design system; the key technology test and verification of core components such as 30MW gas turbine compressor, combustion chamber and high-pressure turbine blade; as well as the engineering design and components of gas generator trial production have been completed. The establishment of all domestic parts production and system development supply chain system; the control system software and hardware design and product development have also been completed. The first gas generator engineering verification machine assembly tooling, process and key equipment development as well as the whole machine assembly and bench test have been completed.

In the direction of compressor research, the reliability verification of the early stall warning method under the condition of distorted inflow was completed, and the active control based on tip air injection under the condition of rotating/circumferential distorted inflow was realized. The optimization and experimental verification of the casing treatment composed of the front slot and back groove were carried out in low-speed single-rotor compressor, and the stability and efficiency enhancement mechanism of the front-slotted and back-grooved casing treatment was revealed. The variation law of the attackangle characteristics of the stator blade of the controllable aerodynamic profile with different loads under different inlet Mach numbers was revealed, and the prediction model of the influence of injected mass flow on aerodynamic performance the stator blade of the controllable aerodynamic profile was established.

In the field of combustor design, the effect of combustor dome structures on swirling flame dynamics is revealed and critical geometric parameters affecting combustion instabilities are successfully identified. Large eddy simulations are combined with decomposition techniques to capture the vortex shedding and shear layer movement in the V-type flames, and corresponding shedding frequencies are extracted. Two modified dampers with multiadjustable frequency bands are proposed to better attenuate combustion instabilities. Impedance models of these dampers are theoretically deduced and experimentally validated. The attenuation characteristics are predicted by the numerical method and the corresponding design approach for dampers is established. In the field of nozzle design, the study on the flow field and atomization characteristics of the air-blast atomizer is carried out. The relationship between the Sauter mean diameter of fuel and the structural parameters of the swirl cup is found, and the optimization design criteria for the swirl cup is proposed.

In the field of turbine basic research, the high-precision correlations and database on discharge coefficient and film cooling effectiveness of the cylindrical hole were established based on the experiments; Aiming at the film cooling effectiveness experiments of turbine blade under a high Mach number condition, a temperature correction method for pressure sensitive paint measurement was proposed, Through the film cooling experiment on the flat plate, the influence mechanism of perpendicular ribbed cross-flow channel on the film cooling effectiveness of the diffusion slot hole was obtained, Through the study of the film hole shapes and arrangements in the endwall area on the turbine rotor blade, a new method for arranging diffusion holes in the endwall was proposed, which simplifies the design process; A new diffuser structure and blade modeling method were proposed to effectively improve the flow separation in the exhaust system.
