摘要
To control tip leakage flow and reduce related loss in axial-flow compressors, the oscillating suction scheme was introduced in a high-load compressor cascade with a tip clearance, and its flow control mechanisms on the tip leakage flow were studied numerically. It is found that the flow control effect of oscillating suction is the best when the unsteady excitation frequency is equal or harmonic to the feature frequency of the flow field related to the flow separation. The loss of the cascade controlled by the oscillating suction with a reduced frequency of 0.39 and excitation amplitude of 10 kPa was reduced by about 3.4% compared with the steady suction scheme, and about 11.14% less than that of the non-suction scheme. Oscillating suction discretized the concentrated tip leakage vortex into a series of scale-reduced vortex structures by the periodic unsteady excitation, which can be identified by the analysis using proper orthogonal decomposition (POD). The feature frequencies became consistent with the oscillating excitation frequency or its multiple, and the fluctuation generated by the tip leakage flow was enhanced. The energy proportion of high-order POD modes was increased by oscillating excitation, which indicated the vortex structures with weak fluctuation intensity were more active. The mixing and energy exchange among the mainstream, separated flow, endwall secondary flow, and tip leakage flow were enhanced, so that a better flow control effect could be achieved. Furthermore, flow capacity of tip passage was modified, the overall aerodynamic performance of the compressor cascade was improved thereby.(c) 2023 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
