Effects of the pocket cavity on heat transfer and fluid flow of the downstream outlet guide vane at different flow attacking angles
(2018) In Numerical Heat Transfer; Part A: Applications 74(3). p.1087-1104- Abstract
A pocket cavity is generated at the junction position of the low pressure turbine (LPT) and the outlet guide vane (OGV) in the rear part of a modern gas turbine jet engine. In the present study, a triangular pocket cavity is placed upstream of an OGV at different distances. The effects of the pocket cavity on heat transfer and fluid flow of the downstream OGV with different flow attack angles are investigated numerically with well validated turbulence models. The flow attack angles are varied as –30°, 0°, and +30° at a constant Reynolds number =160,000. The turbulent flow details are provided by numerical calculations using two turbulence models, the unsteady DES model and the steady k-ω SST model. For different flow attack angles, the... (More)
A pocket cavity is generated at the junction position of the low pressure turbine (LPT) and the outlet guide vane (OGV) in the rear part of a modern gas turbine jet engine. In the present study, a triangular pocket cavity is placed upstream of an OGV at different distances. The effects of the pocket cavity on heat transfer and fluid flow of the downstream OGV with different flow attack angles are investigated numerically with well validated turbulence models. The flow attack angles are varied as –30°, 0°, and +30° at a constant Reynolds number =160,000. The turbulent flow details are provided by numerical calculations using two turbulence models, the unsteady DES model and the steady k-ω SST model. For different flow attack angles, the high Nusselt number regions around the OGV are changed. The high heat transfer region is really drawn back at a flow attack angle = +30° (Case 2b) compared with Case 2a with a flow attack angle =0°. As the flow attack angle is changed to –30° (Case 2c), the high Nusselt number regions are greatly enlarged not only on the suction side also on the pressure side because of the strengthened flow impingement on the vane surfaces. The pocket cavity weakens the flow impingement on the vane surfaces and the effect is more obvious when the pocket cavity is placed close to the vane. In addition, the heat transfer distribution over the pocket surface is also affected by the location of the vane. When the vane is placed close to the pocket cavity (Case 1), the heat transfer on the pocket edge is increased. In the case with a flow attack angle =0°, the high turbulent kinetic energy region is mainly located near the vane and wake region downstream the vane and recirculating flows can hardly be found.
