Minimizing Secondary Flow Losses in a High Pressure Turbine with Nonaxisymmetric Endwall
A novel nonaxisymmetric endwall contouring is presented to suppress corner separation and produce more uniform exit flow angle. Firstly, a design methodology of automated optimization based on aplanar cascade is put forward. Hereafter, with respect to the contoured endwall and the planar cascade, numerical simulation is adopted to understanding of the effects of endwall contouring. The results show that with nonaxisymmetric endwall, the corner separation is enormously suppressed because the interaction between the low momentum fluids from the endwall region and the suction side region no longer occurs. Furthermore, the total loss coefficient is decreased by 10% in the 128% C,x plane, and the flow turning angle becomes larger. All these show the effectiveness of nonaxisymmetric endwall in reducing secondary flow losses for a turbine cascade.
