ABSTRACT

Through-flow and blade-to-blade calculations were .made in association

with a number of experimental research activities at the Turbopropulsion

Laboratory, Naval Postgraduate School. The Q3DFLO-81 code was operated on an

IBM 370-3033 mainframe computer. The flow through a single stage transonic

axial research compressor was computed and compared with both probe survey and

stage performance map measurements. Swirling flow produced by a vaned

out-flow generator for a radial diffuser test facility was calculated for both

large low-speed and small-scale high-speed versions of the device. Flow

through a two-dimensional compressor cascade of "controlled-dif fusion" blade

shapes was calculated and the results compared with experimental data, and

with predictions obtained using the NASA code QSONIC.

I. INTRODUCTION

Attempts to model the complex three-dimensional flow in turbomachines

have resulted in the development of various quasi three-dimensional numerical

techniques.

Most methods follow the work of Wu (Ref. 1), wherein the fully 3D flow is

resolved into a succession of 2D-calculations. The flow is solved on

meridional surfaces (S2), and blade to blade surfaces (SI). In general, the

intersection of an SI surface and an S2 surface is a twisting line with three

dimensional variations. The interaction of the two families of surfaces can

be quite complicated. However, if an axisymmetric assumption is made, the S2

surfaces will become identical to the meridional plane. An important drawback

in this method is the lack of knowledge on the degree of approximation which

is made by assuming axisymmetry.

The program used in the present study, therefore, follows another

approach where the S2-surface calculation is replaced by the calculation of

the flow in the true meridional section (R-2 plane), based on Che solution of

exact pitch averaged equations. The numerical method used to solve the

equations in the meridional and blade to blade plane is the finite element

method. An interconnection of the meshes allows for a consistent interaction

to be defined in the calculation.

Q3DFLO-81 is only valid in the absence of backflow and hence does not

handle separation regions or secondary flow. The calculations are based on

the existence of an inviscid core flow, but accommodates empirical input with

regard to loss levels, slip factors and axial-velocity-density ratio (AVDR)

,

or superimposes a two dimensional boundary layer calculation. The program is

described in References 2 and 3. The procedure to run the code on the Naval

Postgraduate School (NPS) computer is given in Reference 4. The present

report describes the application of this code to various turbomachinery flow

fields. Results from applying the through-flow calculation to a transonic

axial compressor and to a novel radial cascade are given in Section 2. In

Section 3 results from the blade to blade calculations applied to a controlled

diffusion compressor stator section are compared with measurements taken in a

linear cascade and with the results from the finite difference code QSONIC.

The conclusions drawn from these applications are given in Section 4.

II. THROUGH FLOW CALCULATION

A. Axial Compressor

A single stage, small diameter (11 inches) high speed axial flow

compressor, of in house design, was investigated (Fig. 1). Test data from

radial surveys at different axial locations and overall machine performance at

various stage conditions were compared with results of corresponding computer

runs. Furthermore, a compressor performance map for machine speeds higher

than those already tested was calculated to estimate the machine conditions at

higher speeds. Figure 2 shows the calculation mesh for the compressor.

Thirteen streamlines run from three rotor tip chord lengths upstream of the

rotor leading edge to about 2 rotor tip chord lengths downstream of the rotor

trailing edge. Station lines 5, 8 and 13 are placed axially in a way that

they coincide with probe traverse locations. The rotor leading edge

corresponds to station 9, trailing edge to station 12, and the stator leading

edge is located at station 15, with its trailing edge at station 18. Rotor

and stator geometry input is limited to blade inlet and outlet angles, maximum

relative blade thickness, solidity, chord length and leading edge radius.

These quantities have to be given for a number of blade cuts at different

radii. They must also be parallel to the centerline. This made a

recalculation of the blade profile coordinates necessary, since in the

original design they were specified on conical surfaces. The cross-section of

stage inlet and outlet up and downstream of the regime shown in Fig. 2 is

constant and cylindrical. A small fillet at the tip of the rotor spinner was

incorporated in the geometry input to eliminate the blunt stagnation point

singular condition. Using the mesh shown in Fig. 2, calculations were

performed in which input quantities (besides the geometry) were taken from a

-3-

Page 12: NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL - CORE · comparisonofq3dflo-81andqsonic 36. listoftables 1.tablei-cdcompressorcascadeparameters 37 2.tableii-cdbladecoordinates 37 vi. i.introduction

compressor test run. This test run provided results from three radial surveys

at locations corresponding to calculation stations 5, 8 and 13. These

stations serve to evaluate flow into and out of the rotor. Stator outlet

measurements were not available. Figures 3 through 16 show comparisons of

measured and calculated radial distributions. In Fig. 3 fair to good

agreement is shown for the absolute flow angle. The axial velocity component

(Fig. 4) does not agree too well for the lower portion (40%) of the channel

height at station 5. The change in geometry used in the calculation is

probably the cause for this variation.

In the following figures, comparisons are shown only for calculation

stations 8 and 13 and the corresponding test results, since the main purpose

of the investigation was to evaluate the compressor rotor. The radial

velocity component (Fig. 5) seems to have rather large discrepencies for

station 8 (rotor inlet), especially in the hub region. If, however, the

radial velocity component is converted to flow pitch angle, the difference

shown represents an error of no more than four degrees. In Fig. 6 the

absolute flow Mach number for rotor inlet and outlet are compared. The

discrepencies in the tip areas, also apparent in Figures 3 and 4, are the

result of a measurement error due to a casewall effect on the probes used.

For the evaluation of the rotor performance, total pressure (Fig. 7) and total

temperature (Fig. 8) at the inlet and outlet were observed. The total

pressure distribution measured is constant over the blade span. A distinct

increase of the outlet total temperature was calculated in the tip region.

Variations in total temperature measurements are known to reflect changes in

ambient conditions. Thus a temperature differential calculated between rotor

inlet and outlet would not show the variations of those in Fig. 8. Further

Page 13: NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL - CORE · comparisonofq3dflo-81andqsonic 36. listoftables 1.tablei-cdcompressorcascadeparameters 37 2.tableii-cdbladecoordinates 37 vi. i.introduction

evaluating the stage flow, Figures 9 through 11 show incidence angle,

deviation angle and loss distributions, hub to tip. Again, for the rotor a

comparison between measurement and calculation is given. The discrepencies in

rotor incidence angle at the hub and tip are rather large while the stator

shows good agreement near the tip and qualitative agreement along the span

(Fig. 9). The rotor deviation angle also shows disagreement near hub and tip.

The stator deviation angles predicted by the program appear to be fairly

large, especially in the tip region. No test data are available for

comparison, but the magnitudes used in the design of the blading were similar

to those in Fig. 10. Figures 12 through 16 show distributions of other flow

quantities calculated for the same axial positions.

For the compressor stage, the performance was carefully measured for the

full throttle range at 60% and 70% of design speed. The program calculates

the overall stage performance data. In Fig. 17, calculated and measured

compressor performance are compared. The agreement in the total pressure

ratio is quite good. Two efficiencies calculated by the program are shown.

The total efficiency takes the casewall boundary layer and the losses

associated with it into account, while the adiabatic efficiency excludes case

wall effects. The discrepency between measured and calculated total efficiency

is quite large and has yet to be explained.

In order to estimate the compressor performance for higher speeds,

calculations were carried out for 80, 90 and 100% of design speed for a

variety of flow rates. Uncertainties in the efficiency calculation were

accepted. In Fig. 18, the predicted performance map is shown. It can be

observed, that the efficiency curves drop off more drastically for higher flow

-5-

Page 14: NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL - CORE · comparisonofq3dflo-81andqsonic 36. listoftables 1.tablei-cdcompressorcascadeparameters 37 2.tableii-cdbladecoordinates 37 vi. i.introduction

rates at high speeds. This is typical for high speed compressors. The

calculated pressure ratio of 1.715 at 100% design speed is considerably higher

than the value expected in the design process (1.5-1.6), and the referred flow

rate of 19.7 lbs /sec is somewhat lower than the design value of 21.24 lbs /sec.

However , this is the first attempt to predict the performance of the

compressor hardware, as built, and the differences may well be explained by

an error which was built in to the rotor blade setting angles (Ref 5)

.

B. Low Speed CDTD

A large scale subsonic radial cascade wind tunnel has been designed at

the Turbopropulsion Laboratory (TPL) at NPS to investigate flow phenomena in

and the performance of radial diffusers (Ref. 6). Various approaches to

analyze the aerodynamic operating conditions and the flow at the test section

inlet of the Centrifugal Diffuser Test Device (CDTD) have been conducted (Ref.

7).

Q3DFLO-81 accepts cylindrical inlet flow planes and was applied to the

CDTD geometry. Figure 19 shows a plot of streamlines and a cross section of

the axisymmetric flow channel between the inlet "swirl vane cylinder" (station

1) and diffuser-vane leading edge (station 18). The flow is introduced almost

tangentially along the inlet plane at a radius of 19 inches, and then passes

outward through an angular contraction to the test section inlet at a radius

of 25 inches. The flow however, does not follow the physical contour of the

wall (see Fig. 19) and separates in the corners between station 4 and

station 6. The corner shape of the flow channel had to be approximated by a

smooth contour in order for the code to operate.

Q3DFLO-81 accommodates a very versatile post processor and delivers

printouts and plots of the calculated flow properties at every required flow

-6-

station. Figure 20 shows plots of spanwise distribution of axial velocity,

Mach number, static pressure and flow angle for the different flow stations

shown in Fig. 19.

The plots represent the inviscid solution of the core flow, considering a

blockage factor determined by the end wall boundary layer calculations for hub

and tip. It can be seen that the influence of the strong curvature in the

contraction region (stations 7-15) has almost decayed at the test section

inlet (station 18), and the flow properties are almost evenly distributed over

the span. Figure 21 shows a boundary layer thickness of 20% at the test

section. The boundary layer also experiences a strong acceleration in the

contraction region. The velocities in the boundary layers are smaller, and

more nearly tangential. Figure 22 is a comparison of predicted and measured

spanwise flow angle distribution. The solid line represents the predicted

flow angle for the inviscid solution as in Fig. 19. The circle indicates the

calculated boundary layer thickness and the maximum angle at hub and tip. The

triangles are data acquired by the first author (Ref 7). The plot shows good

agreement of predicted and measured flow angles. The deviation in the mass

averaged measured and calculated flow angles is only 0.5%.

C. High Speed CDTD

One of the main objectives of the low speed cascade was to examine the

design concepts with a view to applying them to the design of a transonic

device; the high speed CDTD.

Q3DFL0-81 is capable of calculating transonic flow in a meridional

through flow calculation as long as the meridional velocity remains subsonic.

A high speed cascade has been proposed with a nearly tangential Mach number of

1.48 and a total pressure of 1.6 bar at the inlet plane. The geometry of the

-7-

Page 16: NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL - CORE · comparisonofq3dflo-81andqsonic 36. listoftables 1.tablei-cdcompressorcascadeparameters 37 2.tableii-cdbladecoordinates 37 vi. i.introduction

flow channel is qualitatively similar to that of the low speed cascade. The

dimensions are smaller to reduce the massflow required to obtain higher

velocities and the curvatures are reduced to avoid flow separation. Figure 23

shows the flow channel geometry which was analyzed. Station 1 is at a radius

of 10 inches. Station 12 is at a radius of 12 inches.

The results obtained by applying Q3DFL0-81 to the high speed CDTD are

shown in Fig 24. Shown are results for the inviscid core flow, including

spanwise distributions of static pressure, Mach number, flow angle and

meridional velocity. Even though the Mach number of the overall velocity was

always supersonic, the meridional velocity remained subsonic. Consequently,

shocks should not appear in the flow into the test section.

III. BLADE TO BLADE CALCULATION

The blade to blade calculation of the code Q3DFLO-81 is used in the

quasi-3D calculation for turbomachinery blade rows as described in Section

2.1 or for isolated blade-to-blade calculations. The application to linear

cascades will be described in this section.

A. NASA Controlled Diffusion Blade

A numerical optimization technique to design a controlled diffusion blade

shape was developed by NASA (Ref. 8). It allows analytical design

of airfoils which are shock, free at transonic Mach numbers and avoids suction

surface boundary layer separation for the range of inlet conditions necessary

for stable compressor operation.

The on- and off- design performance of one design of such blades have

been measured in a subsonic linear wind tunnel. The facility is described in

detail in Ref 9 . The tests conducted with a controlled diffusion blading

section designed for a compressor stator at mid-span are described in Ref. 10.

Cascade configuration parameters are given in Table I. Table II presents the

coordinates of the test blades.

Q3DFLO-81 was used to calculate the blade surface pressure distributions

to compare with measurements. Figure 25 shows the blade shape and Fig. 26

shows a typical finite element mesh for the blade to blade calculation. In

order to avoid the sharp increase in velocity, due to the potential flow

effect around a thick trailing edge, the trailing edge radius was removed.

The inviscid flow in fact does not see the trailing edge radius due to the

viscous behavior and thus the geometry should be modeled in this way. The

strong curvature at the leading edge of the blade also caused peaks in

velocity, as the inviscid flow negotiates the large curvature from stagnation

point to suction surface. To calculate such a leading edge shape, the mesh

-9-

Page 18: NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL - CORE · comparisonofq3dflo-81andqsonic 36. listoftables 1.tablei-cdcompressorcascadeparameters 37 2.tableii-cdbladecoordinates 37 vi. i.introduction

has to be much finer around the leading edge than Q3DFL0-81 is able to produce

(due to a restriction in the number of mesh points). The leading edge,

therefore, also had to be adapted to this situation. The remainder of the

flow field should be reliable since the occurance of velocity peaks seldom

invalidates more than a few grid points in their vicinity. Particularly with

these compressor blade geometries, the adverse pressure gradient tends to

discourage the velocity variation from propagating very far or reflecting off

the downstream boundaries. The influence of the flow at 5% of chord

downstream of the leading edge, and 5% of chord upstream of the trailing edge

is only 0.1%, therefore the calculation is accurate for 90% of the chord.

Figure 27 is a plot of streamlines which shows that the flow tangency

condition is very well satisfied along the blade surface and no flow

separation is encountered. Figure 28 is a comparison of predicted and

measured pressure coefficients along the blade surface for different inlet air

angles. Very good agreement is achieved for high inlet angles (38.9°, 42.9°,

45.9°). The two smaller values at the suction side between 60% and 80% chord

are errors in the measurements, probably due to plugged pressure taps. For

smaller inlet air angles (24.4°, 28.0°, 32.95°) the measured values are

slightly smaller than those predicted by Q3DFLO-81. The highest deviations

are noticed at 32.95° incidence. Figure 29 is a plot of the measured AVDR

versus inlet air angle. It is noted that the AVDR does not depend simply on

the static pressure rise as is shown in Fig. 30. The AVDR in the tests

reported in Ref. 10 was determined by measuring and integrating mass flux

distributions at raidspan upstream and downstream of the blade row. The

technique is described in detail in Ref. 11. In the present calculations the

AVDR was assumed to be constant from the measuring plane upstream of the blade

-10-

Page 19: NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL - CORE · comparisonofq3dflo-81andqsonic 36. listoftables 1.tablei-cdcompressorcascadeparameters 37 2.tableii-cdbladecoordinates 37 vi. i.introduction

row to the leading edge, and from the trailing edge to the downstream

measuring plane, and to have a linear distribution along the chord. The AVDR

is input to Q3DFL0-81 to account for quasi-3D-ef fects. The assumed

distribution of the AVDR along the chord of the blade might not be

sufficiently representative of the experimental conditions and this could be

responsible for "the observed deviations.

B. Comparison with Finite Volume Code QSONIC

QSONIC is a FORTRAN computer code developed by NASA and is described in

detail in Ref. 12. It is capable of calculating the flow field about a

cascade of arbitrary 2-D airfoils and approximating the three-dimensional flow

in turbomachinery blade row by correcting for streamtube convergence (AVDR)

and radius change in the through flow direction. The program uses a

conservative solution of the full potential equation combined with the finite

volume method on a body-fitted periodic mesh. It is capable of calculating

through weak, shocks (peak relative Mach number less than 1.4) by introducing

an artificial density in the transonic regions. The code has been adapted to

the NFS computer (Ref. 13) and was used for comparison with 03DFLO-81.

Q3DFLO-81 and QSONIC are both inviscid codes and solve the potential flow

equations. In the Mach number range of the linear cascade (the Mach number of

the flow at the inlet to the blade row is 0.25), they were expected to give

basically the same results. Figure 31 compares the results of both codes with

measurements from Ref. 10. They are in good agreement and show the same

limitations for the calculation of the flow around the leading and trailing

edges.

Even though grid generator and flow solution runs can be separated while

operating QSONIC, it requires 12 minutes CPU time for the flow solution

-11-

Page 20: NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL - CORE · comparisonofq3dflo-81andqsonic 36. listoftables 1.tablei-cdcompressorcascadeparameters 37 2.tableii-cdbladecoordinates 37 vi. i.introduction

while Q3DFLO-81 requires only eight seconds. For applications at low Mach

numbers Q3DFLO-81 is much faster for the same degree of accuracy. It also

provides a convenient post-processor which produces plots of mesh, blade shape

and the calculated results. QSONIC should be used for Mach numbers on the

blade surface from 1.0 to 1.4.

IV. CONCLUSIONS

The experience of applying the computational code Q3DFLO-81 to several

turbomachinery flow problems allowed the following conclusions to be drawn:

1. Despite the apparent complexity of the geometry, the application of

the code to the transonic compressor stage was straight-forward. The

mesh was simple and resulted in very modest CPU times.

2. In the compressor stage analysis, the inlet flow to the rotor wasvery well predicted. Flow incidence angles were computed well except

near the hub. Deviation angles from the rotor were within 3° of the

measured values with the largest departures near hub and tip. The

computed rotor losses agreed qualitatively with measured distributionsbut were smaller in magnitude. The stage efficiency was computed to be

lower than the measured values, suggesting an inconsistency which must

yet be explained.

3. Application of the code to the swirling flow generation within a

centrifugal diffuser test device (CDTD) required only that minor

geometrical approximations be introduced. Inlet and outlet boundaryconditions were within the capability of the existing code.

4. In the low speed CDTD, the computed spanwise distribution of flowproperties at the outlet did not agree with the measured valuessuggesting the importance of viscous effects. The mass-averaged outletflow properties agreed quite well.

5. The code was applied with apparent success to calculate transonicswirling flow within a high-speed CDTD, and could therefore be used to

design a suitable channel shape.

6. The prediction of the code in blade-to-blade calculations agreed wellwith measurements made in a linear subsonic cascade. Leading and trail-ing edges of the blades had to be modified to avoid non-physical velocitypeaks, but the influences of the modifications were negligible 5% chorddownstream of the leading edge and 5% chord upstream of the trailingedge.

7. Excellent agreement was obtained with the blade-to-blade predictionsof NASA's code QSONIC at a test Mach number of 0.2. However, the

Q3DFLO-81 code required 8 seconds of CPU time compared to 12 minutes for

QSONIC.

Overall, the experience of the individual investigators was that the code

could be applied successfully with limited guidance from the code's author.

The post processor package was extremely valuable, and was implemented without

difficulty on the NPS computer.
