Beginning at room conditions, a finite element model of an impeller wheel at rest is updated based on experimentally determined mistuning in terms of blade dominated frequencies. The following numerical forced response analyses yield a maximum blade displacement amplification of 67\% compared to the tuned reference. In addition, modal damping ratios are determined in dependence on the ambient pressure ranging from technical vacuum at 1 mbar up to 6000 mbar in a pressure chamber. Shaker excitation and laser Doppler vibrometry response measurement is employed in this context. A linear dependence of modal damping ratios on ambient pressure and a dominating damping contribution of the surrounding air even for higher modes could be proved. Moreover, the experimental determination of frequency response functions (FRF) at technical vacuum yields a better separation of resonance peaks compared to room conditions at 1013 mbar and hence, this data allows for more accurate model-updates in principle. It is proved that numerical models updated regarding mistuning at room conditions are well suited to predict the forced response at arbitrary pressures if measured modal damping ratios at these pressures are considered. Finally, within analyzing the effect of increasing structural temperatures with the surrounding air at 1013 mbar included slightly decreasing resonance frequencies but strongly increasing FRF-amplitudes are determined.

The resulting unsteady loads are used to determine the response of two particular rotor blade rows that are then compared to strain gauge data from measurements. Within a deep surge cycle the compressor experiences a rapid change of the flow field from forward to reversed flow. This rapid breakdown is linked to a new mean blade load. Hence, the rapid change in blade loads are able to excite fundamental blade modes similar to an impulse load. The resulting vibration magnitudes might reach critical levels. This paper demonstrates two different approaches to evaluate the unsteady flow during a surge cycle. The first uses a three dimensional, time accurate finite volume solver for viscid compressible flows to calculate the transient surge cycle of the compressor. The compressor itself is represented by a multi-blade-row sector model. The second approach makes use of the same solver and compressor domain to determine steady state characteristics of the HPC in forward, stalled and reversed flow. Based on these characteristics an one dimensional finite volume solver for inviscid compressible flows was developed to determine the transient compressor behavior. The one dimensional solver represents the compressor by source terms that are linked to the previously determined steady state characteristics.

One of the main functions of the secondary air system (SAS) is to ensure that the rotating components are surrounded by air that optimizes disc lifing and integrity. The SAS is also responsible for the blade cooling flow supply, preventing hot gas ingestion from the main annulus into the rotor-stator cavities, and for balancing the net axial load in the thrust bearings. Thus, the SAS design requires a multidisciplinary compromise to provide the above functions, while minimizing the penalty of the secondary flows on engine performance. The phenomenon known as rotor-stator drag or windage is defined as the power of the rotor moment acting on its environment. The power loss due to windage has a direct impact on the performance of the turbine and the overall efficiency of the engine. This paper describes a novel preliminary design approach to calculate the windage of the rotor-stator cavities in the front of a typical aero engine HP turbine. The new method is applied to investigate the impact of the SAS design parameters on the windage losses and on the properties of the cooling flows leading to the main annulus. Initially, a theoretical approach is followed to calculate the power losses of each part of the HPT front air feed system. Then, a 1D-network integral model of the cavities and flow passages of the HPT front is built and enhanced with detailed flow field correlations. The new 1D-flow network model offers higher fidelity regarding local effects. A result comparison between the theoretical calculation and the prediction of the enhanced flow network model puts forward the relevance of the local flow field effects in the design concept of the SAS. Using the enhanced 1D-flow network models, the SAS design parameters are varied to assess their influence on the windage and pumping power calculation. As a conclusion, the paper shows how the SAS design can have a significant influence on the HPT overall power and the air that is fed back into the turbine blade rows. Controlling these features is essential to bid a competitive technology in the aero engine industry.

For that purpose, SNM-based reduced order models are used in which the disk remains unchanged while the Young's modulus of each blade is used to define experimentally adjusted as well as intentional mistuning patterns. The aerodynamic influence coefficient technique is employed to model aeroelastic interactions. Furthermore, based on optimization analyses and depending on the exciting EO and aerodynamic influences it is searched for the worst as well as the best mistuning distributions with respect to the maximum blade displacement. Genetic algorithms using blade stiffness variations as vector of design variables and the maximum blade displacement as objective function are applied. An allowed limit of the blades' Young's modulus standard deviation is formulated as secondary condition. In particular, the question is addressed if and how far the aeroelastic impact, mainly causing aerodynamic damping, combined with mistuning can even yield a reduction of the forced response compared to the ideally tuned blisk. It is shown that the strong dependence of the aerodynamic damping on the inter-blade phase angle is the main driver for a possible response attenuation considering the fundamental blade mode. The results of the optimization analyses are compared to the forced response due to real, experimentally determined frequency mistuning as well as intentional mistuning.

This paper aims to contribute to an improved approximation of expected vibration amplitudes of a mistuned rotor assembly under certain assumptions on the probability distribution of the blade's natural frequencies. A previously widely used lumped mass model is employed to represent the vibrational behavior of a cyclic symmetric structure. Aerodynamic coupling of the blades is considered based on the concept of influence coefficients leading to individual damping of the traveling wave modes. The natural frequencies of individual rotor blades are assumed to be normal distributed and the required variance could be estimated due to experiences with the applied manufacturing process. Under these conditions it is possible to derive the probability distribution of the off-diagonal terms in the mistuned equations of motions, that are responsible for the coupling of different circumferential modes. Knowing these distributions recent limits on the maximum attainable mistuned vibration amplitude are improved. The improvement is achieved due to the fact, that the maximum amplification depends on the mistuning strength. This improved limit can be used in the development process, as it could partly replace probabilistic studies with surrogate models of reduced order. The obtained results are verified with numerical simulations of the underlying structural model with random mistuning patterns based on a normal distribution of individual blade frequencies.

Having recognized the need for developing advanced turbine preliminary design tools, this work focuses on enhancing the integration of turbine design disciplines, improving the accuracy of models and speeding the time to generate models. The proposed process facilitates an automated turbine Secondary Air System (SAS) and turbine discs concept definition. Furthermore, the process of CAD models and flow network models generation is accelerated via automation of the engineering workflow. This is accomplished through a novel Java based data model, where the design of turbine discs and SAS features is captured in a programmable framework. In the application section, the preliminary design definition of a reference HP turbine subsystem is replicated using the newly developed common design environment. The automated workflow is then used to generate the corresponding CAD models, recognize the subsystem flow network, and generate the 1D flow network model. The results are then compared to the experimentally validated model of a reference engine. As conclusion, the automated workflow offers a quick and parametric model generation process, while providing a good level of fidelity for the preliminary design phase.

In the presented work, a robust design optimization of a first stage high pressure turbine blade has been carried out. This blade derives from a current production of a Rolls-Royce aero engine. The motivation of this work is to show that the methodology of robust design optimization can be applied to high pressure turbine blades. A fully automated workflow, which encapsulated the integral blade design and analysis process, has been used. The main workflow objective is a representative life value of the external surface of the blade. In addition, the workflow enables the engineering uses to consider sub objectives like mass, efficiency and life at critical locations of the blade. These can also be taken into account in the multi-objective robust design optimization. This research also focuses on the use of surrogate models, with attention to the delivery of a physically correct result. For this purpose, the validation of the applied methods has a huge significance and a toolbox was created to generate and evaluate the quality of the surrogate models. In the present case sixteen geometry parameters were considered. In order to show that this methodology is not limited to geometry variation, parameters for material specification and for boundary conditions were varied in addition. The surrogate model was trained by the workflow generated DoE-data and could be used for different kinds of optimization. As a conclusion, it has been demonstrated that the methodology can be used for the engineering design process of turbine blades, while delivering physically correct results. The different techniques for surrogate modelling were examined and compared. With the help of these surrogate models, an optimization of life, mass and efficiency with 22.5 million evaluations was possible. Finally, an overview of the methodology for the case of a real world turbine blade could be given, and an improved blade in the sense of multi-objective robust design was found.

Both a chosen alternating mistuning pattern and artificial mistuning patterns optimized concerning the forced response are considered. Focusing on three different blade modes, subset of nominal system mode-based reduced order models are employed to compute the forced response. The disk remains unchanged while the Young's modulus of each blade is used to define the particular mistuning pattern. The well established aerodynamic influence coefficient technique is employed to model aeroelastic coupling and hence to consider the strongly mode- and inter blade phase angle-dependent aerodynamic damping contribution. It has been found that a reduction of the maximum forced response beyond that of the tuned reference can be achieved for particular mistuning patterns and all modes considered. This implies an exciting engine order which would cause a low nodal diameter mode in case of a tuned blisk. At best a nearly 50\% reduction of maximum response magnitudes is computed for the fundamental bending mode and large mistuning. The solution proved to be robust towards additional random mistuning of reasonable magnitude, which is of particular interest with regard to a potential technical realization. In case of small mistuning as assumed for the first torsion and the longitudinal bending mode the advantage of achieving response magnitudes beyond the tuned reference gets lost indeed, if random mistuning is superimposed. However, mostly a lower response level is calculated compared to responses obtained from models adjusted to mistuning determined by experiment.
