INTERFACE TREATMENT FOR HARMONIC SOLUTION IN MULTI-ROW AEROMECHANIC ANALYSIS

Conference item

In the present work, an interface treatment method has been developed to extend a non-linear harmonic solution method for aeromechanic analysis in multiple blade row configurations. The main emphasis is two folds. Firstly the method will enable efficient and accurate analysis of blade aerodynamic forcing and damping characteristics under the influence of adjacent bladerows. Secondly, it will warrant that the same steady/mean baseflow as defined by the aerothermal designers is used consistently in the aeromechanical analysis. For passing the harmonic disturbance across a rotor-stator interface, the present method employs the time series reconstruction in conjunction with a temporal Fourier transform. On the other hand, the consistency with a conventional steady multistage solution for the baseflow is achieved by applying an extended mixing plane method. The validity and effectiveness of the method are examined and demonstrated. Copyright © 2010 by ASME.
