Abstract

Effects of pressure-side winglet width on the tip leakage flow and aerodynamic loss downstream of a turbine blade with a pressure-side squealer rim have been investigated for the tip gap-to-span ratio of h/s = 1.36%. The pressure-side squealer has a fixed height-to-span ratio of $h_p/s=3.75%$ and the pressure-side winglet, which is installed at an elevation of tip surface, has width-to-pitch ratios of w/p = 2.64%, 5.28%, 7.92% and 10.55%. The results show that with increasing w/p, aerodynamic loss in the passage vortex region decreases, whereas that in the leakage flow region increases. As a result, the mass-averaged loss coefficient all over the measurement plane tends to decrease minutely with the increment of w/p. It is concluded that the pressure-side winglet for the pressure-side squealer tip can hardly contribute to the tip-leakge loss reduction.

본 연구에서는 압력면익단소익의 폭이 터빈 동익 압력면스퀼러팁 하류의 팁누설유동 및 압력손실에 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. 팁간극비 h/s = 1.36%에 대하여, 흡입면스퀼러의 높이는 $h_p/s=3.75%$로 일정하게 유지하고, 압력면익단소익의 폭은 w/p = 2.64%, 5.28%, 7.92%, 10.55% 등으로 변화시키면서 실험을 수행하였다. 일반적으로 압력면익단소익의 폭이 증가할수록, 통로와류 영역에서의 압력손실은 감소하였지만 팁누설유동 영역에서는 압력손실이 오히려 증가하였다. 그 결과 익단소익의 폭이 증가할수록, 질량평균 압력손실은 매우 소폭 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 본 연구 결과, 압력면스퀼러팁에 설치된 압력면익단소익은 압력손실 저감에 거의 기여를 하지 못함을 확인할 수 있었다.
