Factors Affecting Measured Axial Compressor Tip Clearance Vortex Circulation

Abstract: The relationship between turbomachinery blade circulation and tip clearance vortex circulation measured experimentally is examined using three-dimensional viscous flow computations. It is shown that the clearance vortex circulation one would measure is dependent on the placement of the fluid contour around which the circulation measurement is taken. Radial transport of vorticity results in the magnitude of the measured clearance vortex circulation generally being less than the blade circulation. For compressor… Show more

“…The blockage evaluation method proposed by Khalid [19] was used to obtain the blockage distribution in the Therefore, the gradient magnitude should be obtained from the gradient components of ∇ðρv m Þ on the axial plane in the span and circumferential directions. For a Cartesian coordinate system, this gradient can be expressed as j∇ðρvmÞj x,y .…”

“…The static pressure contour lines on the casing wall and on the blade tip surface are also shown by the black and blue lines. The streamwise vorticity of the tip leakage vortex core is high in the forward half of the blade passage and decreases in the downstream direction due to diffusion of vorticity, although the streamwise structure keeps in the downstream as shown by the high normalized helicity in Fig 3. However, according to the experimental study by Inoue et al (1986) and the numerical study by Khalid (1995), the total circulation of the tip leakage flow field at a trailing edge plane does not so decrease in the compressor rotor, because the vorticity diffused in the casing wall boundary layer has the same sense of rotation. This phenomenon will be interpreted in terms of vortex-lines in Section 3.3.…”

“…The vortex-lines in the suction surface and the casing wall boundary layer are linked together through the diffusion process of the tip leakage vortex core. The reduction rate of the tip leakage vortex circulation cannot be estimated at the trailing edge plane as it is difficult to distinguish the vortex core region from the casing wall boundary layer (Khalid, 1995). In the case of a compressor, the total circulation of the streamwise vorticity dose not decrease by this diffusion because the relative motion of the casing wall enhances the vorticity in the casing wall boundary layer.…”
