  • It is common for highly loaded supersonic stage to have very high relative inlet Mach number. To get this level of inlet Mach number, rotor blade outer diameter or rotational speed should be increased. In the case of commercial turbo-fan engine, it is preferred to make the rotor blade outer diameter large than increasing the rotational speed. But, for multi-stage fan of military engines, overall diameter is often restricted and they are apt to increase the rotational speed. With high rotational speed, relative inlet Mach number is likely to be well supersonic over the entire rotor blade span and the characteristic of the stage is affected with meridional shape of the stage, especially at near hub or tip. In this paper, the aerodynamic performance of two different hub surface shape is compared and it's merit and demerits were discussed.

  • In the present study, three-dimensional aerodynamic optimization of high pressure turbine nozzle for turbofan engine was performed. For this, Kriging surrogate model was built and refined iteratively by supplying additional experimental points until the surrogate model and CFX result has effective difference on objective function. When the surrogate model satisfied this reliability condition and developed enough, optimum point was investigated. Commercial program PIAnO was used for optimization process and evolutionary algorithm was used for searching optimum point. As a result, difference between estimated value from Kriging surrogate model and CFD result converges within 0.01% and the optimized nozzle shape has 0.83% improved aerodynamic efficiency.

  • Acoustic power spectrum of the upstream and downstream sound field due to an isotropic frozen turbulent gust impinging on a cascade of flat plate airfoils are computed by using a analytic formulation derived from Smith's method, and Whitehead's LINSUB codes. A parametric study of the effects on sound power of the number of blades and turbulence length scale is performed with an emphasis on analyzing the characteristics of sound power spectrum. Through the comparison of the computed results of sound power, it is found that acoustic power spectrum from the 2-D cascade subject to a ingested turbulence can be categorized into two distinct regions. one is lower frequency region where some spectral components of turbulence do not contribute to the cut-on acoustic modes and therefore the effect of the cascade geometry is more dominant ; the other is higher frequency region where all of spectral components of turbulence make contributions to cut-on acoustic modes and thus acoustic power is approximately proportional to the blade number.

  • With the recent increase in the development of domestic independent turbofan engines for aircraft, there is a need to develop software for FADEC(Full Authority Digital Engine Control) with real-time fault diagnosis functions to enhance fuel efficiency, engine performance, and reliability. As engine control algorithms become more sophisticated, software is being developed using Model-Based Design(model-based development) methods. This paper introduces the Middleware architecture of FADEC(Full Authority Digital Engine Control), which connects hardware with Model-Based Design(model-based development) software. Given the high reliability and safety required for turbofan engines in aircraft, the design complies with DO-178C[1] International Airborne Systems and Equipment Certification Guidelines.

  • This paper investigates the noise radiated by a cascade of flat-plate airfoils interacting with homogeneous, isotropic turbulence. At frequencies above the critical frequency, all wavenumber components of turbulence excite propagating cascade modes, and cascade effects are shown to be relatively weak. In this frequency range, acoustic power was shown to be approximately proportional to the number of blades. Based on this finding at high frequencies, an approximate expression is derived for the power spectrum that is valid above the critical frequency and which is in excellent agreement with the exact expression for the broadband power spectrum. The approximate expression shows explicitly that the acoustic Power above the critical frequency is proportional to the blade number, independent of the solidity, and varies with frequency as ${\phi}_{ww}(\omega/W$), where ${\phi}_{ww}$ is the wavenumber spectrum of the turbulence velocity and W is mean-flow speed. The formulation is used to perform a parametric study on the effects on the power spectrum of the blade number stagger angle, gap-chord ratio and Mach number. The theory is also shown to provide a close fit to the measured spectrum of rotor-stator interaction when the mean square turbulence velocity and length-scale are chosen appropriately.
