Model and Stability Analysis of a Flexible Bladed Rotor

“…A stability detection method, bringing coalescence and loci separation phenomena to the fore, in case of an asymmetric rotor, is undertaken in order to determine a parametric domain where turbomachinery cannot encounter damage. Finally, extensive parametric studies including the length and the stagger angle of the blades as well as their flexibility are presented in order to obtain robust criteria for stable and unstable areas prediction.…”

Aeroelastic Vibrations and Stability in Cyclic Symmetric Domains by Bernard Lalanne, Maurice Touratier

“…The aerodynamic load is then derived from a harmonic analysis of the fluid flow extending to turbomachinery as in the case of aeroplane wing. In this way, aerodynamic forces may be obtained as general as required, depending on successive time derivatives of degrees of freedom in addition to themselves. …”

The Three-Dimensional Velocity Distribution of Wide Gap Taylor-Couette Flow Modelled by CFD by David Shina Adebayo, Aldo Rona

“…This is likely to cause unwanted heat transfer on the surface in high torque turbomachinery applications. Secondly, the radial inflow at the axial end-wall boundaries is likely to promote the transport of debris to the junction between the end-collar and the rotating cylinder, causing the build-up of fouling in the seal.…”

Numerical Analyses of Static Characteristics of Liquid Annular Seals Based on 2D LBM-LES Model by Zhenjie Zhang, Lulu Zhai, Jia Guo, Zuchao Zhu, Guoyou Chen

“…Static characteristics and leakage flow rates of liquid annular seals have great influences on the hydraulic efficiency of turbomachinery. In this paper, a two-dimensional (2D) mathematical model for predicting the leakage flow rates and static characteristics of liquid seal is established, based on the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) combined with the D2G9 velocity model for incompressible fluid and large eddy simulation (LES) turbulence model, in which the transformation equation of reference pressure is developed with the Bernoulli equation. …”

Deep learning modeling of manufacturing and build variations on multistage axial compressors aerodynamics by Giuseppe Bruni, Sepehr Maleki, Senthil K. Krishnababu

“…However, due to the highly complex, turbulent, and three-dimensional flows, they have not yet been proven usable for turbomachinery applications. Multistage axial compressors for gas turbine applications represent a remarkably challenging case, due to the high-dimensionality of the regression of the flow field from geometrical and operational variables. …”
