Abstract

Secondary flow losses can be as high as 30~50% of the total aerodynamic losses for a turbo-machinery blade or stator row. These are important part for improving a turbine efficiency. Therefore, many studies have been performed to decrease the secondary flow losses. The present study deals with the chamfered leading-edge at a generic wing-body junction to decrease the horseshoe vortex, one of factors to generate the secondary flow losses, and investigates the vortex generation and the characteristics of the horseshoe vortex with the chamfered height, and depth of the chamfer by using $FLUENT^{TM}$. It was found that the total pressure loss for the best case can be decreased about 1.55% compare to the baseline case.

터빈 익렬 내에서 발생하는 2차유동손실은 터빈 동익 또는 정익렬에서 전체 공기역학적 손실의 30~50%차지하며, 터빈 효율 향상에 있어 개선해야 될 중요한 부분으로 인식되고 있으며, 과거부터 2차유동에 의한 손실을 줄이기 위한 많은 연구들이 수행되었다. 본 논문에서는 2차유동손실을 일으키는 요인 중의 하나인 말굽와류의 강도를 감쇄시키기 위해 일반적인 날개 앞전에 모서리 홈을 설치하였으며, 설치 홈의 높이 및 깊이 등의 형상 변수를 변화시켜가면서 말굽와류의 발생 영역 및 강도의 감쇄 특성 및 구조에 대해 상용코드인 $FLUENT^{TM}$를 이용하여 수치해석적인 방법으로 연구하였다. 그리고 최상의 경우, 기준 모델의 경우보다 전압력 손실이 약 1.55% 감소함을 발견하였다.
