▼ La résolution d’équations différentielles de divers degrés de complexité est nécessaire afin de simuler tous les phénomènes présents dans les écoulements complexes de turbomachine et en particulier les effets hors équilibre qui peuvent y jouer un rôle prépondérant. Aujourd’hui, seule l’approche LES (Large Eddy Simulation) sous forme totalement compressible permet d’obtenir avec une précision satisfaisante la physique associée aux écoulements réactifs et turbulents en géométrie complexe. Le travail porte sur la modélisation numérique et physique des échanges thermiques en proche paroi. Ce travail de thèse s'est appuyé sur le projet Européen COPA-GT dédié à la simulation numérique et multi-physique d'un moteur complet.
The resolution of differential equations of diverse degree of complexity is necessary to simulate the phenomena present in the complex turbomachinery flows and in particular, requires accounting for unsteady effects that may have a preponderant role. Today, only the LES (Large Eddy Simulation) fully compressible approach has the required accuracy to predict the physics associated to reactive and turbulent flows in such complex geometries. This work covers the numerical modelling of physics in the near-wall region of a high-pressure turbine blade with special focus on thermal predictions. This work was supported by the European project COPA-GT, dedicated to the numerical multi-physics simulation of a complete gas turbine.

▼ In modern gas turbines, with the increase of inlet gas temperature to raise thework output, the importance of accurate aero-thermal analysis has become of vitalimportance. These analysis are required for temperature prediction throughoutthe turbine and to predict the thermal stresses and to estimate the cooling requiredfor each component.In the past 20 years, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods have becomea powerfool tool aero-thermal analysis. Due to reasons including numericallimitation, flow complications caused by blade row interactions and the effect offilm cooling, using simple steady state CFD methods may result in inaccuratepredictions. Even though employing transient simulations can improve the accuracyof the simulations, it will also greatly increase the simulation time and cost.Therefore, new methods are constantly being developed to increase the accuracywhile keeping the computational costs relatively low. Investigating some of thesedeveloped methods is one of the main purposes of this study.A simplification that has long been applied in gas turbine simulations hasbeen the absence of cooling cavities. Another part of this thesis will focus onthe effect of cooling cavities and the importance of including them in the domain.Therefore, all transient and steady state simulations have been examined for twocases; a simplified case and a detailed case. The results are then compared tothe experimental measurements to evaluate the importance of their presence inthe model. The software used to perform all simulations is the commercial codeANSYS CFX 15.The findings suggest that even though including cooling cavities would improvethe results, the simulations should be run in transient. One important finding wasthat when performing transient simulations, especially the Time Transformationmethod, not only is the pitch ratio between every subsequent blade row important,but also the pitch ratio between the stators is highly influential on the accuracyof the results.

▼ Laminar axisymmetric syngas-air, syngas-methane mixture-air and biogas-air diffusion
fames were studied over the pressure range of 5 to 20 atm to investigate the effect of pressure and dilution on
soot formation. Spectral soot emission (SSE) optical diagnostic technique was used to measure the soot volume fraction and soot temperature in these flames. The fuel matrix consisted of three syngas fuels, two syngas-methane mixtures and two biogas fuels. In general, soot formation in syngas-methane mixtures and biogas diffusion flames showed strong pressure dependence at lower pressures but this dependence got weaker at elevated pressures. No soot was detected by SSE diagnostic technique in syngas-air
flames at all pressures. The suppressive effect of carbon dioxide on soot formation prevailed at all pressures in syngas-methane
mixtures and biogas flames.

▼ This document presents an investigation of the self-excited coupling mechanisms that occur to produce both low-amplitude intermittent, as well as high-amplitude limit-cycle pressure oscillations in an aeronautical gas turbine combustor. Measurements of a lean premixed prevapourized combustor at elevated pressure were conducted using OH* chemiluminescence, pressure transducers, stereoscopic particle image velocimetry and droplet laser scattering. Analysis of the spectra and phase relationships between the measured variables is performed to determine and describe the coupling mechanisms. A semi-empirical model is presented to explain differences in the limit-cycle pressure amplitudes observed under nominally identical operating conditions. Evidence suggests that an oscillating flux of fuel into the combustor is responsible for both intermittent and limit-cycle oscillations, though different coupling relationships are observed in each case. The final amplitude of limit-cycle oscillations is shown to be correlated with changes in the phase difference between the fuel oscillations and the pressure.

▼ Turbulence plays an important role on the aero-thermal performance of modern aircraft engine High Pressure Turbines (HPT). The role of the vane wake and passage turbulence on the downstream blade flow field is an important consideration for both performance and durability. Obtaining measurements to fully characterize the flow field can be challenging and costly in an experimental facility. Advances in computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) modeling and High Performance Computing (HPC) are providing opportunity to close these measurement gaps. In order for CFD to be adopted, methods need to be both accurate and efficient. Meshing approaches must also be able to resolve complex HPT geometry while maintaining quality adequate for scale-resolved simulations. Therefore, the accuracy of executing scale-resolved simulations with a second-order code on a mesh of prisms and tetrahedrals in Fluent is considered.; Before execution of the HPT computational study, a building block approach is taken to gain quantified predictive performance in the modeling approach as well as understanding limitations in lower computational cost modeling approaches. The predictive capability for Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS), Hybrid Large Eddy Simulation (LES), and wall-resolved LES turbulence modeling approaches are first assessed for a cylinder in cross-flow at a Reynolds number of 2580. The flow condition and simple geometry facilitate a quick turn-around for modeling assessment before moving the HPT vane study at high Reynolds and Mach number conditions. Modeling approaches are then assessed relative to the experimental measurements of Arts and Rouvroit (1992) on a pitch-line HPT uncooled vane at high Mach and Reynolds numbers conditions with low (0-6%) free-stream turbulence. The current unstructured second-order LES approach agrees with experimental data and is found to be within the equivalent experimental uncertainty when compared to the structured high-ordered solver FDL3DI. The unstructured Hybrid LES aero-thermal predictions are found to be in close agreement with LES predictions and 4 times more computationally efficient.; A sliding mesh approach is then used to understand the complex HPT vane and blade stage aero-thermal interaction at 0 and 20% inlet turbulence. A HPT blade has been designed to pair with the uncooled vane of Arts and Rouvroit (1992) to evaluate the impact of passage turbulence and vane wake on the downstream blade boundary layer as well as wake formation and evolution. The learnings from the statistical 2D pitch-line stage simulations are applied to a 3D annular representation of the geometry including endwalls and blade tip clearance to demonstrate the impact of secondary flows on the overall aero-thermal performance. Compared to the 2D pitchline predictions, the vane and blade overall mass average relative total pressure loss for the 3D geometry increases by 73 and 107%, respectively. The blade loss is shown to be largely driven by the formation of the tip vortex. Hybrid LES predictions show that by increasing…

▼ This investigation studies the leakage flows over the high pressure turbine blade tip at high speed flow conditions. There is an unavoidable gap between the un-shrouded blade tip and the engine casing in a turbine stage, where the pressure difference between the pressure and the suction surfaces of the blade gives rise to the development of leakage flows through this gap. These flows contribute to about one third of the aerodynamic losses in a turbine stage. In addition they expose the blade tip to a very high temperature and result in thermal damages which reduce the blade‟s operational life. Therefore any improvement on the tip design to reduce these flows has a significant impact on the engine‟s efficiency and turbine blade‟s operational life. At the engine operational condition, the leakage flows over the high pressure turbine blade tip are mostly transonic. On the other hand literature survey has shown that most of the studies on the tip leakage flows have been performed at low speed conditions and there are only a few experimental works on the transonic tip flows. This project aims to explore the tip leakage flows at high speed condition which is the real engine condition, both experimentally and computationally and establish a comprehensive understanding of these flows on different tip geometries. The effect of tip geometry was studied using the flat tip and the cavity tip models and the effect of in-service burnout on these two tip models was established using the radius-edge flat tip and the radius-edge cavity tip models. The experimental work was carried out in the transonic wind tunnel of Queen Mary University of London and the computational simulations were performed using RANS and URANS. As the flow approached each tip model it turned and accelerated around its leading edge in the same way as the flow turns around the leading edge of an aerofoil. In the case of the tip models with sharp edges the tip flow separated at the inlet to the tip gap. For the flat tip model the flow reattachment occurred further downstream whereas in the case of the cavity tip model the length of the pressure side rim was not sufficient for the reattachment to occur and the separated flow left the rim as a free shear layer. The cavity tip model was found to have a smaller effective tip gap and hence smaller discharge coefficient in comparison to the flat tip model. For the radius-edge tip models, no separation occurred at the inlet to the tip gap and the effective tip gap was found to be the same as the geometrical tip gap. Therefore it was concluded that the tip model with radius-edges had a larger effective tip gap and hence a greater discharge coefficient than the tip geometry with sharp edges. It was observed that in the case of the supersonic tip leakage flows, decreasing the pressure ratio PR (i.e. the ratio of the static pressure at the tip gap exit to the stagnation pressure at the inlet to the tip gap) increased the discharge coefficient Cd for the tip models with sharp edges but it decreased the Cd value in the case of…

▼ In order to provide further improvements in thermal efficiency, engine designers are trying to optimise one of the components of the engine that has to endure the most severe conditions: the
High Pressure Turbine. Furthermore, from a cost perspective,
turbine designers are constantly trying to reduce the number of blades in the
turbine which leads to stronger secondary flow features. Since secondary flow features are one of the main contributors to losses in the
turbine, there is a potential for improvements when the development of secondary flow in the stage can be controlled and reduced. The non-axisymmetric profiling of end-walls has shown to be a powerful method to reduce loss and secondary flows. However, the development of consistent measures for the assessment of profiled end-wall designs is still in progress and the loss mechanisms of secondary flows are not yet fully understood. Therefore, the achievement of optimal end-wall design is still challenging. The main obstacle remains the complexity of the three-dimensional flows involved and the difficulty to visualise and accurately evaluate their flow structures. The aim of this thesis is to show that applying profiled end-walls and making use of optimisation algorithms can lead to a reduction of losses in the
High Pressure Turbine. A parametric optimisation study has been performed to determine the regions of the hub profiled end-wall in the
High Pressure rotor that are having the largest impact on performance. The objective has set to increase component efficiency while constraints have been set in terms of the reaction and inlet capacity of the
High Pressure stage. A
high efficiency improvement is obtained by the profiled end-wall created near the leading edge, while the profiled end-wall close to the trailing edge of the blade loses most of its efficiency improvement due to its strong violation of the constraints. Analysis of the flow field has revealed that the profiled end-wall near the leading edge is affecting the interaction of inlet boundary layer flow and purge flow emerging from the rim seal. By creating an effective flow passage, the profiled end-wall forces the purge flow to emerge from the rim seal closer to the suction surface of the blade. In this way, the profiled end-wall is influencing the development of the hub passage vortex. A new post-processing method has been developed based on the generation of entropy in order to gain a deeper understanding of the flow mechanisms taking place. The specific entropy generation has shown to be a powerful tool to identify loss sources and compare designs. It has been determined that the reduction in work losses due to shear stresses between adjacent cells in the numerical domain has the largest contribution to the reported efficiency improvements. Two loss reduction mechanisms have been identified. By forcing the purge flow to stay close to the suction surface, shear stress work losses that were first being generated by flow that was entrained between the hub passage vortex and suction side of the blade…

▼ A numerical study is presented on the influence of fluid-structure coupling on a
turbine blade fatigue life estimation. Varying levels of fluid-solid coupling including; a fully-coupled, decoupled and uncoupled solution approaches are implemented. In the fully-coupled analysis, a time-dependent fluid solver is coupled to a transient structural solver with information transfer at the fluid-solid interface for every solution step. A minimum of 3-iterations is performed per solution step to ensure the fluid-solid compatibility and conservation requirements at the fluid-solid interface are met. In the uncoupled method, the unsteady aerodynamic
pressure is first computed and transferred unilaterally to the solid solver in an independent analysis. Two uncoupled methods are implemented, the case with and without a separate consideration of the aerodynamic damping ratio. In the third method of a decoupled analysis, the fully-coupled is performed but with a reduced iteration per time-step, enabling a converged solution to be obtained with reduced computational resources.The above numerical approaches are implemented to investigate the problem of
high-cycle and low-cycle fatigue failure modes. In the
high-cycle problem case, the influence of the unsteady aerodynamics on the structural response is investigated, where the rotor blade is modelled with the upstream influence of the stator blades. The resulting stress magnitude for this condition leads to fatigue cycles in the domain of the ultra-
high cycle frequency range. The low-cycle fatigue condition includes the influence of centrifugal forces from the
high-rotational speed of the
turbine rotor. The analysis shows that the centrifugal stiffening effect from the rotational loads, in addition to the independently estimated aerodynamic damping term, leads to a strongly damped response for the damped uncoupled method. This resulted in a fatigue life that is higher than that of the fully-coupled approach. An application of the fully-coupled method is also extended for a thermomechanical analysis with additional temperature effect in the coupled equations. The solid metal temperature distribution is predicted by coupling the fluid-code with a conjugate heat transfer capability to a transient structural code for the analysis of thermally-induced stress. The thermomechanical fatigue condition is investigated using the universal slope method and the creep strains are predicted based on a continuum damage mechanics approach. The fully-coupled method with temperature addition predicts a blade temperature profile similar to that from a stand-alone conjugate heat transfer solver.Lastly, given that fatigue loading is inherently stochastic, a probability sensitivity study is presented where the reliability coefficients of the input parameters are estimated as a first-hand indication of the influence of the three parameters: rainflow fatigue cycles, stress amplitude and the S-N curve fatigue cycles, on the overall fatigue life estimation process.

▼ Purge flows are necessary for ensuring that
hot gasses do not penetrate the thermally sensitive rim seal and
disk cavity regions of turbines. The temperature and mass flow rate
of the purge air can affect the component life and aerodynamic
performance of a
turbine stage. Therefore it is of interest to
understand the basic mechanisms that govern this complex flow
problem. The present work focuses on two
turbine rim seal
investigations. The first focused on temperature measurements in
the rim cavity region of a rotating,
high-speed, low-
pressure
turbine as means to quantify a rim seal’s effectiveness. The seal
had a realistic geometry with a small axial overlap between the
stationary and rotating components. The purge flow rate was varied
from 0 to 1 percent of the core mass flow rate. The results will
describe the temperatures as well as the seal’s effectiveness as a
function of the purge flow rate, and
turbine operating point. The
second was a study on the effect of purge flow on the aerodynamic
performance of a
turbine stage. Exit flow field surveys were taken
in both a low
pressure turbine stage and a
high pressure turbine
stage. Also a computational study was done on the low
pressure
turbine stage to add insight into the effect of purge flow on
turbine stage performance. In addition, the computation results
provide insight into the effect of purge flow on the low
pressure
turbine blade passage flow field.

▼ The measurement of unsteady pressures within the hot components of gas turbine engines still remains a true challenge for test engineers. Several high temperature pressure sensors have been developed but so far their applications are restricted to unsteady wall static pressure measurements. Because of the severe flow conditions such as turbine inlet temperatures of 1700°C and pressures of 50 bar or more in the most advanced aero-engine designs; few (if any) experimental techniques exist to measure the time-resolved flow total pressure inside the gas path. In this thesis, the development as well as the first experimental engine and test rig results obtained from a fast response cooled total pressure probe are presented. The designed probe was successfully tested at the turbine exit of a Rolls-Royce Viper turbojet engine, at exhaust temperatures around 750°C and in the Rolls-Royce intermediate pressure burner rig, at temperatures above 1600°C. Following tests with the first probe manufactured, several improvements were made on the probe design. The new probe was tested on a Volvo RM12 engine, at exhaust temperatures above 900°C. During the course of this study, hot sections of turbomachines are accessed for the first time using fast-response instrumentation. Following this milestone, the new area of research in turbomachinery instrumentation field will be the quantification and correction of measurement errors in high-temperature environments.

Analyse instationnaire aérothermique d'un étage de turbine avec transport de points chauds : application à la maîtrise des performances des aubages.

▼ Afin d’augmenter le rendement et la puissance spécifique des turbines à gaz, la température en entrée de la turbine haute pression a été continuellement augmentée, au point d’atteindre une valeur de l’ordre de la température de fusion des matériaux. La capacité à prédire l’écoulement (température en particulier) dans la turbine est donc un élément essentiel pour la conception des turbines à gaz, particulièrement pour celle qui ne sont pas refroidies. Toutefois, cette tâche est rendue difficile par l’extrême complexité de l’environnement dans lequel la turbine évolue (interaction avec la chambre de combustion, effets technologiques, couplage thermique fluide / solide, etc.).L’objectif de ce travail de thèse est de proposer, d’une part une stratégie de simulation numérique afin de prédire au mieux les champs aérothermiques dans une turbine haute-pression, d’autre part une méthode d’analyse permettant de quantifier l’impact des différents éléments de l’environnement sur les performances. Pour répondre à ces objectifs, des simulations instationnaires d’un étage de turbine ont été réalisées avec le code elsA, prenant en compte les effets technologiques (baignoire, refroidissement externe grâce aux évents du distributeur et aux cavités moyeu et carter du rotor qui sont alimentés par le système d’air secondaire, congés de raccordement) et les transferts thermiques conjugués. Une analyse de la production locale d’entropie a aussi été menée afin de comparer les performances aérodynamiques pour plusieurs niveaux d’approximations dans la définition de la turbine (prise en compte ou non de tel ou tel effet technologique) et de localiser l’origine de ces différences. L’analyse des résultats a montré que la hauteur de jeu et le système de refroidissement externe ont l’impact le plus significatif sur les performances aérodynamiques de la turbine. La température de paroi de la pale de rotor est de son côté fortement influencée par l’écoulement issu de la chambre de combustion, le refroidissement externe et le couplage thermique fluide / solide. Ce travail est un premier pas vers la réalisation de simulations totalement intégrées qui doivent permettre d’améliorer la précision des conceptions.
In order to increase the thermodynamic efficiency of gas turbine engines, the high-pressure turbine inlet temperature has been continually increased up to reach levels of the order of magnitude of the vanes and blades melting temperatures. The ability of predicting the flow through the turbine(especially the temperature) is a key point for the design of gas turbines, especially for the uncooled ones. However, this is challenging because of the complex environment that interacts with the turbine(hot-streak migration, technological details, fluid/solid thermal coupling . . .).The aim of this work is to develop a strategy based on CFD in order to predict aerothermal fields in a high-pressure turbine as well as an analysis allowing to quantify the impact of the environment on the turbine performances. To achieve these goals, the elsA code has…

▼ Over the last two decades, most developed countries have reached a consensus that greener energy production is necessary for the world, due to the climate changes and limited fossil fuel resources. More efficient turbine is desirable and can be archived by higher turbine-inlet temperature (TIT). However, it is difficult for nozzle guide vane (NGV), which is the first stage after combustion chamber, to withstand a very high temperature. Thus, cooling methods such as film cooling have to be implemented. Film-cooled NGV of an annular sector cascade (ASC) is studied in this thesis, for getting comprehensive calculation of vorticity, and analyzing applicability of existing loss models, namely Hartsel model and Young & Wilcock model. The flow-field calculation methods from previously published studies are reviewed. Literatures focusing on Hartsel model and Young & Wilcock model are studied. Measurement data from previously published studies are analyzed and compared with the loss models. In order to get experience of how measurements take place, participation of a test run experiment is involved. Calculation of flow vector has been evaluated and modified. Actual flow angle is introduced when calculating velocity components. Thus, more exact results are obtained from the new method. Calculation of vorticity has been evaluated and made more comprehensive. Vorticity components as well as magnitude of total streamwise vorticity are calculated and visualized. Vorticity is higher and more extensive for fully cooled case than uncooled case. Highest vorticity is found at regions near the hub, tip and TE. Axial and circumferential vorticities show similar patterns, while the radial vorticity is relatively simpler. Compressibility is introduced as a new method when calculating circumferential and radial vorticities, resulting more extensive and higher vorticities than results from incompressible solutions. Hartsel model and Young & Wilcock model have been evaluated and compared to the ASC to see the applicability of the models. In general, Hartsel model cannot agree with the ASC to a satisfactory level and thus cannot be applied. Coolant velocity is found to be the dominant factor of Hartsel model. Young & Wilcock model may match SS1 and SS2 cases, or even PS and SH4 cases, but cannot match TE case. The applicability of Young & Wilcock model is much dependent on the location of cooling rows.

▼ Aerodynamic losses due to tip leakage in a
High
Pressure Turbine (HPT) rotor setting are analyzed using the
commercial CFD software Star-CCM+. The compressible RANS equations
were solved over unstructured polyhedral grids of 11 to 17 million
cells, with turbulence resolved using the k-w SST model. A study of
3 blade tip/casing configurations at tip clearances between 0% and
4% of blade span is performed, with resulting mass-flow Reynolds's of 2.4-2.7 million and levels of reaction of 0.13-0.17. A
flat-tip blade experienced a linear correlation between tip
clearance and efficiency. The same blade with recessed casing was
more efficient for small clearances, but large shear losses were
seen to nullify this advantage at
high clearances. A shrouded blade
was more efficient than both at all clearances, displaying
asymptotic behavior at
high clearances. Various
pressure and
velocity monitoring techniques are employed to evaluate leakage
flow and loss. Location and strength of leakage vortices are
discussed, as these are closely tied with efficiency. A parametric
study was performed on the shroud geometry, examining seal angle,
number of seals, seal wear, and shroud axial gap. Efficiencies were
compared between each study point at clearances of 2% and 4% of
blade span. Total
pressure loss was tracked across the blade and
split between the main flow path and tip gap to distinguish between
Profile and Internal Gap Shear losses. Axial gap was seen to have
the greatest impact on efficiency, as a narrower gap acts as
additional tip flow blockage and increases efficiency. At lower
clearances, seal wear produced a negative impact as
well.

▼ The performance and detailed flow physics of
a transonic, low-
pressure turbine (LPT) stage with design Zw=1.35,
∆hT /U2 = 2.8, ϕ = 0.78, and η = 90.5% has been investigated
experimentally. Recent developments in boundary layer transition
modeling were utilized in the aerodynamic design of the stage.
Measurements were acquired in a recently developed,
high-speed
turbine facility constructed to investigate the effects that
Reynolds number, nozzle exit flow, freestream turbulence,
vane-blade spacing, and rim seal flows have on the loss generating
mechanisms of a highly loaded LPT stage. Flow control techniques
were applied at the stage inlet with the intent of reducing a
source of stage losses. A research dissertation designed to provide
understanding of the loss mechanisms that reduce the effectiveness
of the Notre Dame Highly Loaded
Turbine Stage 01 (ND-HiLT01) is
described.

▼ The convection of unsteady wakes through a downstream blade row and the interaction of these wakes with subsequent blade wakes were investigated in characteristic highly-loaded high-pressure turbine cascades under engine relevant conditions (Ma=0.69 and Re=3,8x105). Phase conditioned PIV measurements were obtained in the aft portion of the blade channel and downstream of the trailing edge. Two blade designs were investigated - one front-loaded, one aft-loaded. Wake convection kinematics are discussed, and the development of turbulence properties are linked to measured efficiency losses. The front-loaded design proved inferior to the aft-loaded, with ~30% higher peak turbulence kinetic energy and ~10% greater total pressure loss. The trailing edge wake modulated through constructive and destructive vorticity interactions and was linked to a higher harmonic of the convected wake cycle. This study contributes to a full characterisation of the unsteady flow field of a high-pressure turbine, leading to innovative methods of efficiency improvement.

▼ The aviation market has seen a drastic rise in past decades, and is projected to follow a similar trend in the coming years. Stricter regulations and ambitious targets have been framed to effectively curtail the rise in emissions due to this surge in aviation. A multi-fuel blended wing body aircraft is being developed in TUDelft, with the goal of drastically reducing aircraft emissions. To this end, a dual-combustor configuration, which operates with a main combustion chamber and an inter-turbine burner has been proposed. The exhaust gas from the main combustion chamber passes through the high pressure turbine and then proceeds to the inter-turbine burner. It is important to accurately model the evolution of exhaust gas species, from the main combustion chamber through the high-pressure turbine, since this constitutes the species concentration at the inlet of the inter-turbine burner. This, in turn, can have impacts on its performance too. Therefore, this thesis aims to do a detailed parametric analysis to study the individual impact of the operating conditions on the chemical kinetics after the main combustor. The operating temperature has been identified as the most significant parameter that would have drastic impacts on the way emissions evolve after the combustor. The predictions of Turbine Inlet Temperatures for future aircraft have shown only a steady increase. Although the assumption of frozen chemistry after the combustor may have been valid for older engines, the same does not hold as good for futuristic configurations. Newer and different engine architectures like the hybrid engine, which are designed to operate on high cycle temperatures and pressures, cannot ignore the consequence of change in emissions after the combustor in order to retain accuracy in estimations.

▼ The quest for higher performances and durability of modern aero-engines requires the understanding of the complex aero-thermal flow experienced in a multi-row environment. In particular, the
high and low
pressure turbine components have a great impact into the engine overall performance, and improvements in the
turbine efficiencies can only be achieved through detailed research on the three-dimensional unsteady aerodynamics and heat transfer. The present thesis presents an experimental study of the aerothermodynamics in one and a half
turbine stage, focusing on: the aero-thermal flow in the overtip region of a transonic highly loaded
high pressure (HP) rotor, and the aerodynamics and heat transfer of an innovative low
pressure (LP) stator with a multi-profile configuration placed downstream of the
high pressure turbine, within an s-shaped duct.
Advanced instrumentation and measurement techniques were used and developed to perform the experimental investigation in a short-duration
turbine test rig where both
high spatial and time accuracy is indispensable. The flow field at the rotor shroud was investigated with simultaneous measurements of heat transfer, static
pressure and blade tip clearance by using fast response
pressure, wall temperature and capacitance probes. Through repeat experiments at the same
turbine operating point, the time-averaged and time-resolved adiabatic wall temperature and convective heat transfer coefficient were evaluated.
In the frame of new engine architectures, a novel stator for an LP
turbine is proposed with a multi-splitter layout that represents a new design solution towards compact, lighter and performing aero-engine turbomachinery. It contains small aero-vanes and large structural aerodynamic airfoils which are used to support the engine shaft and house service devices. The research focuses on the experimental investigation of the global performance, aerodynamics and thermodynamics of this novel HP-LP vane layout. The

▼ Rotor purge flow cavity seals are used in gas
turbine engines to prevent ingestion of the mainstream gas flow
into the purge cavity. Ingestion into this cavity leads to an
increase in the cavity air temperature and subsequently to the
rotor disk and stator metal temperatures leading to higher thermal
stresses and reduced disk and stator fatigue life. An over designed
cavity seal with an excess amount of purge flow has the downside of
increasing engine fuel consumption through reduced
turbine
efficiency. The opposite approach of strengthening the hardware to
withstand the higher stress and temperatures would increase the
weight of the propulsion system. Understanding how the purge flow
cavity and cavity seals interact with the mainstream gas is
important to producing a balanced design between weight, fuel
consumption, efficiency, and fatigue life of surrounding
hardware. The main objective of this research was
to perform an experimental and computational study of a one and one
half stage
high-
pressure turbine installed at The Ohio State
University Gas
Turbine Laboratory
Turbine Test Facility with
emphasis on the rotor purge cavity. The rig housing the
turbine
stage incorporated many features found in a typical commercial
high-
pressure turbine such as a cooled
high-
pressure vane row with
hub and shroud cooling, a downstream blade row followed by a
downstream vane row, the ability to created elevated radial inlet
temperature profiles using a combustor emulator, and a cooling
supply line to the purge cavity. Multiple runs were performed to
study the effects of cooling flows from both an aerodynamic and
heat transfer perspective and incorporated instrumentation
throughout the rig in order to capture time-accurate temperature,
pressure, and heat flux measurements. The run matrix included cold
rig configurations with no cooling flow,
high-temperature uniform
inlet profiles at the vane inlet for cases with and without cooling
flows, and
high-temperature radial inlet profiles with and without
cooling flows. The computational study was performed using the
Numeca FINE/Turbo code utilizing a multiple blade row model with
both a steady and harmonic unsteady technique in order to simulate
the physics of the experiments. Comparisons
between the data and the computational results were performed for
five different operational conditions: cold inlet and no cooling
flow run, an elevated radial inlet temperature profile with purge
and without purge cooling, and an elevated flat inlet temperature
profile with purge and without purge cooling flow. The solutions
were found to match very well to the exit rake measurements, the
leading edge blade profile in the rotating frame of reference, the
time-averaged and time-accurate static
pressure on the vane hub,
the stationary cavity wall, and the rotating cavity. Time-average
comparisons were shown for the thermocouples located on the blade
platform and in the stationary and rotating side of the cavity. For
the two radial inlet cases and for the cold inlet case, these
comparisons…

▼ Combustion instabilities have presented major problems in
high-
pressure, turbulent combustion systems for nearly a century, beginning with rocket propulsion systems. To enhance combustion efficiencies, other engines, such as gas turbines for power generation, operate at
high pressures and reactant flow rates that are only small relative to those of rocket engine operation. The majority of power generation systems today extract energy from such efficient combustion processes. Recently, gas
turbine engines, both power generation and propulsion platforms, are operated under very lean conditions to reduce flame temperatures and thus, emissions of the primary smog forming constituent, NOx. Extinction, flashback, blowoff , and autoignition pose challenges when operating at lean-premixed conditions. Flame stability at such lean conditions is problematic; thus, a swirled flow method is used to anchor and stabilize these flames. Intense turbulence, resulting from the
pressure drop across flow swirlers, drives fluctuations in
pressure and heat release rate. The feedback between
pressure oscillations and heat release fluctuations in the reaction zone often drives resonant instabilities that propagate through the flow and surrounding structures. Such self-excited instabilities influence
high rates of heat release in the reaction zone, which is located near the point of injection. Vibrations and
high temperatures lead to the fatigue of injection components, instrumentation, and downstream
turbine blades. A novel passive combustion noise control technique is experimentally investigated in the present study. The approach involves the mating of a porous inert material (PIM) with the inlet of a swirl-stabilized, lean-premixed combustor. The foam insert reduces turbulent intensities within the inner and outer recirculation zones of a common swirl-stabilized burner, thus reducing the amplitude of combustion driven instabilities. Experiments are conducted at
high pressures, with
high reactant flow rates and equivalence ratios. Results show that the ceramic foam insert is effective at mitigating combustion instabilities, suppressing combustion noise, and potentially, acoustic damping. The total sound
pressure level for many of the cases investigated is reduced by 10 dB and greater. Furthermore, the approach can easily be retrofitted to commercial, industrial, and propulsion gas
turbine combustion systems. (Published By University of Alabama Libraries)

▼ A coupled density based solver in the framework of foam-extend is used to perform simulations of transonic flows. The solver is based on an explicit and time-accurate algorithm and is coupled to a compressible Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) and a Large Eddy Simulation (LES) module. The solver is first attested on canonical compressible flow scenarios such as a 1-D shock tube and the transonic flow through a 2-D channel. Following this, a 2-D URANS simulation of the flow within the passages of a High Pressure Turbine Nozzle Guide Vane (HPT-NGV) is performed and compared against experimental data. Finally, preliminary results of a 3-D LES on a simplified geometry of the HPT-NGV are presented. In the future, this numerical setup will be used to study indirect combustion noise in aircraft engines.

▼ L’influence de certains effets technologiques sur les performances d’une turbine n’est pas encore bien comprise. En particulier, des essais ont été réalisés par Safran Helicopter Engines sur un étage de turbine haute pression dont l’anneau de roue forme une cavité reliée à la veine au niveau de l’espace inter-grilles, dans laquelle est injecté de l’air de refroidissement. Ils ont montré une sensibilité inattendue des performances à certains paramètres géométriques. Cette thèse a pour but d’expliquer ce comportement, et d’améliorer la compréhension et la prédiction par simulation numérique de l’effet d’une telle cavité sur l’aérodynamique et l’aérothermique de la turbine. Cette problématique a été traitée à l’aide de simulations numériques RANS instationnaires, réalisées avec le code elsA. Dans un premier temps, seule une partie de la cavité a été simulée, ce qui la ramène à une simple injection d’air de refroidissement dans la veine par une fente axisymétrique. Ces calculs ont montré que l’écoulement dans la veine est profondément modifié par l’air de refroidissement. Entre autres, le tourbillon de passage au carter et l’écoulement de jeu dans le rotor sont impactés, et deviennent fortement instationnaires. Les mécanismes d’interaction entrant en jeu sont détaillés, et l’effet sur les pertes est discuté. Des calculs prenant en compte la cavité entière ont ensuite été mis en place, d’abord avec un écoulement dans la veine simplifié, puis avec l’étage de turbine complet. Ils ont permis d’identifier une structure composée de poches de gaz de veine ingéré dans la cavité et de zones d’éjection d’air de refroidissement, tournant à une vitesse inférieure à celle du rotor, et manifestement générée par une instabilité. Des structures semblables avaient déjà été identifiées dans des turbines par de nombreuses études concernant des cavités inter-disques au moyeu, mais c’est ici la première fois qu’un tel comportement est obtenu dans une cavité composée de parois fixes et débouchant au carter. L’effet de cette structure sur l’écoulement dans la veine est qualitativement identique à celui obtenu par les simulations avec seulement une partie de la cavité, mais l’intensité et la fréquence des phénomènes d’interaction entre l’air de refroidissement injecté et l’écoulement principal sont modifiés par la rotation de la structure dans la cavité. Finalement, bien que les résultats d’essai n’ont pas pu être entièrement expliqués, ces travaux ont permis d’améliorer la compréhension des phénomènes se produisant dans une telle configuration, d’identifier les défis qu’ils posent aux simulations numériques, et d’ouvrir de nouvelles pistes de recherche.
The impact of some technological effects on the performances of a turbine are not yet well understood. More specifically, tests were performed by Safran Helicopter Engines on a high pressure turbine stage featuring a cavity over the rotor shroud, connected to the main gas path in the inter-rows space. Cooling air is injected in this cavity. This experimental campaign has shown an unexpected…

▼ Present studies focus on thermal and aerodynamics investigations of leakage flow injection through a slot which is located at upstream of blade leading edge. In the real gas turbine, this slot is actually the gap between the combustor and turbine endwall as for the maintenance works consideration. However, the slot induced to the leakage phenomenon caused by the bypassed air that coming from the compressor side for turbine cooling purposes. Gas turbine manufactures intended to minimize these kinds of leakages in maintaining the aerodynamics performance of the turbine cascade. However, previous researchers found that the leakages could be used to protect the endwall surfaces from the hot gas since it could not be completely prevented. Thus, present study investigated the potential of leakage flows as a function of film cooling. Chapter 1 gives some introduction on present works about the need of film cooling to protect the wall surfaces. Several related studies by previous researchers are also explained. Chapter 2 explained the details of methodologies used in present studies. A leakage flow with 90° of injection angle was considered as for the baseline configuration. Liquid crystal was used for the time-varying endwall temperature measurement. The transient method was applied to determine the film cooling effectiveness, η and the heat transfer coefficient, h for the thermal performance evaluations. The details of the aerodynamics performances was revealed by conducting 5-holes Pitot tube measurement at blade downstream plane (1.25Cax) and the total pressure loss coefficient, Cpt as well as the flow vorticity, ζ contours were plotted. Furthermore, the effects of the leakage flow with the mainstream consist of complex secondary flows structures also have been revealed by numerical investigation. In present study, the flow is analyzed by using the three-dimensional, steady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations by conducting Shear Stress Transport, SST turbulence model. The leakage was injected with a various amount (which is described by mass flow ratio, MFR) to observe theηperformance at different injection cases. Chapter 3 provided details discussions on the aero and thermal performances of the leakage injection. Both experimental and numerical presented the performance ofηincreased when the injection amount increases. SST turbulence model captured the presence of the separation flow that caused the lower h region which also captured by the experimental. As for the aerodynamics performance, Cpt was increased after the introduction of leakage injection and indicated the increase trend when the MFR was being increased. Leakage flows were prevented to be injected into high pressure region thus they tended to move towards lower pressure region which is between two stagnation regions. As a result, a newly generated vortex core was predicted. This accumulated vortex core (AFV) is considered to contribute to the additional losses at blade downstream. Chapter 4 presents the numerical investigation on the…

▼ Ce travail porte sur l'étude du comportement sous sollicitation de fretting sirnple à haute température de superalliages monocristallins à base de nickel MC2 et CMSX-4. Il trouve son application dans le domaine aéronautique, plus précisément au niveau de la turbine haute pression des moteurs d'hélicoptère. Celle-ci a pour fonction de convertir l'énergie cinétique des gaz brûlés en un couple qui entraîne en rotation le compresseur. Elle participe ainsi directement à l'entretien du cycle de combustion du moteur ce qui fait d'elle un organe clé. Située directement en aval de la chambre de combustion, la turbine haute pression (HP) est composée d'un disque central polycristallin et d'aubages monocristallins rapportés, liés au disque par une liaison dite pied de sapin. La rotation de la turbine et la température élevée des gaz de combustion va générer sur les aubes, le disque et l'attache qui les relie,des sollicitations thermomécaniques importantes. Du fait de la force centrifuge et du défilement des aubes devant les étages fixes des distributeurs, l'attache pied de sapin est la cible d 'oscillations dynamiques à l'origine de phénomènes d'endommagement par fretting. Ce fretting,, l'interface de contact entre l'aube et le disque fait l'objet d'une attention toute particulière,ce qui a motivé la conduite de ces travaux. Après une première phase et développement et de validation d'un banc d'essai innovant qui a nécessité la mise en place d'un dispositif de chauffage par induction, un soin tout particulier est apporté à la préparation des échantillons. La nature monocristalline du matériau constitutif des aubes nécessite en effet de respecter précisément l'orientation de la microstructure par rapport aux axes de sollicitation et la surface de contact. Pour cela une mesure systématique de la désorientation des axes primaires et secondaires des barreaux bruts est réalisée. La désorientation relevée est ensuite compensée au cas par cas lors du prélèvement par électroérosion des échantillons. Le lot d'échantillons obtenu peut dès lors être considéré comme homogène en terme d'orientation, malgré le fait que les barreaux bruts présentent des désorientations différentes. [...]
The aim of this work is to study the behavior of MC2 and CMSX-4 nickel based superalloys when subjected to fretting load at high temperature. Since it drives the compressor shaft, the high pressure turbine is a key part of the helicopter engine. 1n order to increase the global reliability and efficiency of the engine, single crystal nickel based superalloys are employed for turbine blades while disk parts are made of polycrystalline materials. Each turbine blade is attached to the central disk via a special link called fir tree root. Due to high temperature and dynamic oscillations, the contact zone between blades and disk is subjected to high thermomechanical stresses. 1t causes fretting phenomena that can lead to wear and cracking damage. This work focuses on both the partial slip and gross slip regime in order to study the damage process of single…

▼ Submerged arc welding (SAW) is commonly used for fabricating large diameter linepipes,
pressure vessels and wind
turbine towers due to its
high deposition rate,
high quality welds, ease of automation and low operator skill requirement. In order to achieve
high melting efficiency required for
high productivity, best weld quality and good mechanical properties in manufacturing industries, the welding process parameters need to be optimized.
In this study, the effect of SAW current and speed on the physical and mechanical properties of ASME SA516 Gr. 70 (
pressure vessel steel) and ASTM A709 Gr. 50 (wind
turbine tower steel) were investigated. Three welding currents (700 A, 800 A and 850 A) and four travel speeds (5.9, 9.3, 12.3 and 15.3 mm/s) were used to weld sample plates measuring 915 mm x 122 mm x 17 mm. The weld quality and properties were evaluated using weld geometry measurements, visual inspection, ultrasonic inspection, hardness measurements, optical microscopy, tensile testing, Charpy impact testing and scanning electron microscopy.
It was found that the physical and mechanical properties of the weldments were affected by SAW parameters. Severe undercuts were found at
high travel speed and welding current. Low heat input caused lack of penetration defects to form in the weldments. The welding process melting efficiency (WPME) achieved was up to 80%. The hardness of the coarse grain heat affected zone (CGHAZ) and the weld metal increased with travel speed. The toughness of both materials increased with increasing travel speed and welding current. The yield and tensile strengths of the weldments of SA516 Gr.70 and A709 Gr.50 steels were within the same range as those of their respective parent metals because all test specimens broke in the parent metals. Also, the parent metals of both steels had the highest fracture strain and percent elongation. The percentage elongation increased with travel speed but decreased with welding current.

▼ Les motoristes aéronautiques misent sur le développement de systèmes d’injection de carburant innovants pour réduire la consommation de carburant et les émissions de polluants. L’objectif de la thèse est de contribuer à l’étude expérimentale d’un injecteur « Lean Premixed » par le développement de diagnostics lasers couplant des approches basées sur la diffusion de Mie et l’émission fluorescente de traceurs. Les mesures ont été réalisées sur le banc de combustion haute pression HERON. Une approche novatrice avec l’imagerie de fluorescence du kérosène a permis d’obtenir une quantification du mélange kérosène/air. La structure de flamme a été mesurée simultanément par PLIF-OH et des mesures PIV de vitesse ont complété cette analyse. Un développement préliminaire de la PLIF-CO a également été mené. Les nombreuses mesures permettent de fournir une analyse détaillée des interactions flamme/spray/aérodynamique lors d’une combustion swirlée stabilisée kérosène/air à haute pression.
Aeronautical engine manufacturers are banking on the development of innovative fuel injection systems to reduce fuel consumption and pollutant emissions. The aim of the thesis is to contribute to the experimental investigation of a "Lean Premixed" injector by developing laser diagnostics coupling approaches based on Mie scattering and fluorescent emission of tracers. Measurements are performed at high pressure on the HERON combustion test bench. An innovative approach with fluorescence imaging of kerosene has resulted in the quantification of the kerosene/air mixture. The flame structure was analyzed simultaneously by OH-PLIF and velocity PIV measurements were performed to complete this analysis. A preliminary development of CO-PLIF was also conducted. The numerous measurements provided a detailed analysis of the mechanisms of flame/spray/aerodynamic interactions during a swirl-stabilized kerosene/air combustion at high pressure.

▼ This dissertation is a design and validation study of
the
high-lift low-
pressure turbine (LPT) blade designated L2F.
High-lift LPTs offer the promise of reducing the blade count in
modern gas
turbine engines. Decreasing the blade count can reduce
development and maintenance costs and the weight of the engine, but
care must be taken in order to maintain
turbine section performance
with fewer blades. For an equivalent amount of work extracted,
lower blade counts increase blade loading in the LPT section. The
high-lift LPT presented herein allows 38% fewer blades with a
Zweifel loading coefficient of 1.59 and maintains the same inlet
and outlet blade metal angles of conventional geometries in service
today while providing an improved low-Reynolds number
characteristic. The computational design method utilizes the
Turbine Design and Analysis System (TDAAS) developed by John Clark
of the Air Force Research Laboratory. TDAAS integrates several
government-funded design utilities including airfoil and grid
generation capability with a Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes flow
solver into a single, menu-driven, Matlab-based system. Transition
modeling is achieved with the recently developed model of Praisner
and Clark, and this study validates the use of the model for design
purposes outside of the Pratt & Whitney (P&W) design system
where they were created. Turbulence modeling is achieved with the
Baldwin and Lomax zero-equation model. The experimental validation
consists of testing the front-loaded L2F along with a previously
designed, mid-loaded blade (L1M) in a linear
turbine cascade in a
low-speed wind tunnel over a range of Reynolds numbers at 3.3%
freestream turbulence. Hot-wire anemometry and
pressure
measurements elucidate these comparisons, while a shear and stress
sensitive film (S3F) also helps describe the flow in areas of
interest. S3F can provide all 3 components of stress on a surface
in a single measurement, and these tests extend the operational
envelope of the technique to low speed air environments where small
dynamic pressures and curved surfaces preclude the use of more
traditional global measurement methods. Results are compared
between the L1M and L2F geometries along with previous data taken
in the same wind tunnel at identical flow conditions for the
P&W Pack B geometry.
Advisors/Committee Members: Wolff, Mitch (Advisor).
