This in turn demands improvements in the internal cooling system and a better understanding of both the level and distribution of the internal heat-transfer. A typical approach to enhance the internal cooling of the turbine blade is by casting angled ‘low blockage’ ribs on the walls of the cooling channels. The objective of the present paper is to determine the detailed Nusselt number distribution in rectangular internal channels with ribs. This knowledge can be used to guide the overall design e.g. to achieve high levels of heat-transfer where required. The effects of rotation as well as the interaction effects of the position and direction of ribs on opposite walls of the cooling channel have been investigated. Numerical calculations have been carried out using the commercial CFD code Fluent to investigate the local Nusselt number enhancement factor in rectangular ducts of different aspect ratios (0.5, 1 and 2) which have 45° or 90° angled ribs located on two opposite walls. This has been studied for different Rotation number Ro (0–0.45) and with a Reynolds number >30000. The first series of studies has been carried out with the same experimental setup as by Han [1]. The geometry was slightly changed to avoid the effect of high heat transfer at the entry. This study identifies important vortical structures, which are dependent on the direction and the position of the ribs. This has a profound effect on the distribution of heat-transfer within the passage. It is shown that the two smooth walls of the duct have different average Nusselt number ratio Nu/NuFD enhancement depending on the rib angle. In addition, based on numerical investigations, simple correlations have been developed for the rotational influence of the internal Nusselt number distribution. A major finding is that the effect of rotation is dominant for low aspect ratio channels and the local enhancement due to the rib position and angle is more dominant for high aspect ratio channels.

For that purpose, a reduced order model is used in which the disk remains unchanged and mechanical properties of the blades namely stiffness and damping are adjusted to measured as well as intentional blade frequency mistuning distributions. The aerodynamic influence coefficient technique is employed to model the aeroelastics. Depending on the blade mode, the exciting engine order and aerodynamic influences it is sought for the worst mistuning distributions with respect to the maximum blade displacement based on optimization analyses. Genetic algorithms using blade alone frequencies as design variables are applied. The validity of the Whitehead-limit is assessed in this context. In particular, the question is addressed if and how far aeroelastic effects, mainly caused by aerodynamic damping, combined with mistuning can even cause 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 as well as a higher blade mode. Furthermore, the differences to the blisk vibration response without a consideration of the flow and an increase of the disk’s stiffness are discussed. Closing, the influence of pure damping mistuning is analyzed again using optimization.

However, related to the introduction of exhaust gas turbochargers in the field of small and medium sized engines, a sustainable demand for radial turbine wheels has come along. Despite those blisks being state of the art, a number of fundamental problems, mainly referring to fluid-structure-interaction and, therefore, to the vibration behavior, have been reported. Aiming to achieve an enhanced understanding of fluid-structure-interaction in radial turbine wheels, a numerical method, able to predict forced responses of mistuned blisks due to aerodynamic excitation, is presented. In a first step, the unsteady aerodynamic forcing is determined by modeling the spiral casing, the stator vanes, and the rotor blades of the entire turbine stage. In a second step, the aerodynamic damping induced by blade vibration is computed using a harmonic balance technique. The structure itself is represented by a reduced order model being extended by aerodynamic damping effects and aerodynamic forcings. Mistuning is introduced by adjusting the modal stiffness matrix based on results of blade by blade measurements that have been performed at rest. In order to verify the numerical method, the results are compared with strain-gauge data obtained during rig-tests. As a result, a measured low engine order excitation was found by modeling the spiral casing. Furthermore, a localization phenomenon due to frequency mistuning could be proven. The predicted amplitudes are close to the measured data.

Thin structured sheet metals offer significantly improved component stiffnesses in addition to an upgraded buckling behavior compared to flat, unstructured sheet metals. By using a distortion energy based homogenization method it is possible to develop a mechanical surrogate model which describes effective mean properties. The accurate selection of symmetric and periodic boundaries enables to determine the required parameters. The conditions are contemplated on elementary cells whose structural mechanical behavior is representative for the elastic behavior of large structures. By doing this, the amount of elements can be reduced and thus the calculating time of large components can considerably be saved. For an efficient surrogate model it is required to analyze and compare numerical with experimental investigations. Some different versions of optimization will be tested to get better approximation of the data.

The specific vibration behavior in these transition regions is characterized by a mix of both fundamental mode types into “coupled” modes. In this paper, numerical and experimental investigations based on a front high-pressure compressor (HPC) blisk stage were carried out in order to determine the effect of blade mistuning on those regions in detail. At this, effects like mode localization and amplitude magnification are found to be weakened in an integer frequency-veering zone. Contrary to this, blisks are very sensitive to mistuning in regions of pure blade-dominated mode families with high modal density.

For that purpose, a reduced order model is used in which the disk remains unchanged and mechanical properties of the blades, namely stiffness and damping, are adjusted to measured as well as intentional blade frequency mistuning distributions. The aerodynamic influence coefficient technique is employed to model the aeroelastics. Depending on the blade mode, the exciting engine order, and aerodynamic influences, it is sought for the worst mistuning distributions with respect to the maximum blade displacement based on optimization analyses. Genetic algorithms using blade-alone frequencies as design variables are applied. The validity of the Whitehead limit is assessed in this context. In particular, the question is addressed if and how far aeroelastic effects, mainly caused by aerodynamic damping, combined with mistuning can even cause 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 interblade phase angle is the main driver for a possible response attenuation considering the fundamental as well as a higher blade mode. Furthermore, the differences to the blisk vibration response without a consideration of the flow and an increase of the disk's stiffness are discussed. Closing, the influence of pure damping mistuning is analyzed again using optimization.

This paper aims to contribute to the proper identification of dynamic excitation mechanisms acting on an axial turbine rotor, particularly with regard to deviations of the NGV’s nominal geometry due to the use of variable vanes or tolerances in manufacturing. As variations of the NGV’s geometry disturb the perfectly periodic pattern of the downstream flow features, other spectral components than those correlated with the number of stator vanes are possible to appear. These frequency components may lead to low engine order excitation of fundamental blade modes at high engine speeds. Under these operating conditions the rotor is already highly loaded with centrifugal forces and additional dynamic excitation may cause unacceptable stresses. Thus aerodynamic mistuning might be a limiting criterion for the design of a highly loaded turbine rotor. Within this paper 2 dimensional CFD-models are used to investigate both, the determination of the wake of a geometric mistuned stator guide vane and the influence of the resulting excitation on the adjacent rotor stage due to aerodynamically mistuned flow. In order to generate a mistuned NGV geometry, variations of pitch and stagger angle are taken into account and a mesh morpher is used to produce computational domains of the mistuned geometry on the basis of a nominal mesh. Additionally a simplified reconstruction process based on a set of CFD computations will be introduced, being able to reproduce the spectral components of the mistuned wake by specifying a certain geometric mistuning distribution. The prediction of the resulting modal forces is carried out in time domain and approaches with lower fidelity are investigated with respect to their capability of reproducing the key features of an aerodynamically mistuned excitation mechanism.

During heat treatment high inhomogeneous temperature gradients and long loading times at elevated temperatures occur and lead to the development and partial relaxation of bulk residual stresses. The intention of this paper is to describe the residual stress modelling of a nickel-based ATI 718Plus® superalloy disc forging. For this purpose, an uncoupled thermomechanical finite element problem is solved consisting of a thermal model based on transient, spatially varying heat transfer coefficients (HTCs) and a stress model incorporating the nonlinear material behaviour to account for thermal induced inelastic deformations. A graphical user interface based application has been created for the automatic estimation of the a priori unknown HTCs by using a serial solution procedure for the two dimensional inverse heat conduction problem (IHCP) based on the function specification method. The estimated temperature fields have been compared at the thermocouple positions with the corresponding measurement data and confirm the suitability of the inverse algorithm to this problem. A rate-independent elasto-plastic constitutive model is used to simulate the residual stress formation while quenching the disc forging. Two creep models have been adjusted to uniaxial tensile test data and applied to simulate the stress relaxation during aging. Finally, this paper presents the numerical results of the stress analysis.

In particular bearings and joints play a significant role in big model assemblies such as aero-engines where most of the structures are modeled by solid elements rather than using traditional shell or beam elements. This approach is very complex and expensive in terms of computational effort however can lead to increased simulation accuracy when done properly. This publication will answer questions related to the modeling techniques required for detailed bearings (not only rotor bearings) and joints of an aero-engine application where these components are not idealized or simplified, i.e. the ball in a ball joint is meshed by solid elements. The investigation will discuss the question about the number of elements needed to mesh a ball joint in such a way that a correct rotation is possible. If the mesh is too coarse, a rotation would be impossible due to the faceting of the rotating parts. It will be shown that a proper rotation depends on a correct relation between the radius of the inner ball, the gap size of the bearing and the number of nodes in the circumferential direction. For this relation an analytical formula has been derived and successfully tested at some examples. Furthermore, some finite element codes offer the possibility of smoothed contact surfaces. These options improve the situation but they might cause issues too. For this reason these smoothed contact options are also considered under the aspects mentioned above.

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.

Numerous impact tests, using two different rubber compounds and three different layups, are carried out. The specimens are impacted using a modified Charpy pendulum. Force–time histories have been used to determine the damage threshold load. To visualise damage such as delaminations and inter-fibre failures, the impacted samples have been examined using microsectioning.

Dresdner Probabilistik-Workshop, Technische Universität Dresden, 08.-09. Okt. 2015 N2 - Nowadays in a product design process the manufacturing tolerances have to be considered. Therefore a deterministic optimization needs to be converted into a robust design optimization. Usually the reference geometry is represented by a parametric model and an appropriate set of default parameters. In the robust design approach this set is replaced by a set of distributed parameters. These distributions are known from a previous design or needs to be estimated. This work is about a robust design and multi objective optimization of a high pressure turbine blade (first row) from an actual aero engine. The multidisciplinary objectives are the combined life of the aero-foil (LCF and creep) for the outer and inner geometry, the efficiency and the mass of the blade. For the input set different kinds of parameter will be examined. Apart from the major geometry parameters, which represent the external surface of the blade, parameters for material and boundary conditions will be investigated as well. The used workflow contains the Rolls-Royce tool parablading for the creation of the external aero-foil, Siemens NX for general geometry manipulation, Hydra as Navier-Stokes solver and SC03 for the structural problem and is set up in the automation software ISight. Focus of this work is the creation of response surfaces and physical integrity of the delivered results. Therefore, different validation criteria will be consulted. These are implemented in a Matlab toolbox and tested on typical optimization test problems. Based on the validated response surfaces a huge number of evaluations is possible, which is necessary for a robust design optimization. As the major result a set of Pareto optimal designs will be delivered.

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.

Subsequently it is possible to compare the results of both systems. During the test series rotational speed varies in the range from 10.000 up to 19.000 RPM. Simultaneously, the wheel is heated up to 820 K by an oven. A number of pre-selected natural frequencies, damping ratios and operating deflection shapes are evaluated and compared with respect to different rotational speeds and impeller temperatures.

Along the preliminary design phase, multiple concepts are assessed in order to select a competitive technology. The engine design process, which was traditionally subdivided into modular component tasks, is nowadays considered as a multi-disciplinary workflow. 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.

Despite the major advantages of less mass and higher efficiency, the most challenging problem is lower mechanical damping due to the loss of damping between blades root’s and the disk. Mistuning is induced by material inhomogeneities, manufacturing tolerances or wear during use and leads to amplitude magnification and mode localization. From the experimental point of view mistuning can be evaluated via experimental vibration analysis in terms of frequency deviations. Furthermore optical measurements can be evaluated in terms of geometrical deviations between the real and designed geometry. From the structural point of view a mistuned blisk model can be obtained by morphing the nodes of the geometrical tuned FE model or by performing blade individual stiffness mistuning due to modification of Young’s modulus. The following work is focused on the numerical prediction of mistuned blisk vibrations. Therefore, the research blisk of the 4 stage research compressor, manufactured as job-production, is analyzed. For this research blisk optical measurement data as well as experimentally obtained frequency patterns are available. In a first part mistuning identification in terms of experimental vibration analysis and Proper Orthogonal Decomposition of the geometrical deviations is presented. In a second part mistuning modeling in terms of stiffness mistuning and geometrical mistuning is applied to the tuned FE-model and the numerical results are evaluated against experimental data regarding accuracy. Furthermore, the impact of geometrical deviations on mistuning is analyzed.

A well established method is the application of semi-unstructured meshes, that uses a combination of structured meshes in the radial direction and unstructured meshes in the axial as well as the tangential direction. This takes advantage of the approximately two dimensional flow field through the blade rows, whereby a fine radial discretization, excepting the near wall region, is not necessary. Otherwise, it is possible to discretize particular regions, e.g. the leading and trailing edge regions, in the axial and tangential direction without generating unnecessary nodes in the far field. The meshing approach is based on the projection of a two dimensional unstructured mesh defined at a reference surface. Once, the two dimensional mesh is generated the projection is achieved by transfinite interpolation from the reference surface to further radial surfaces using a structured mesh. Due to the modeling of geometrical features, especially fillets, advanced methods for the generation of structured meshes and mesh smoothing algorithms are required. The paper presents two different approaches for the generation of an appropriate structured mesh. The first is based on the solution of elliptic partial differential equations. The second approach is based on the split of the domain into fourteen appropriately arranged blocks. Furthermore, two smoothing methods for two dimensional unstructured meshes, a constrained Laplace smoothing and an optimization based approach, are presented. Regarding a more realistic representation of the geometry, methods for the modeling of cavities, variable clearance sizes and fillets are presented. Finally, a comparison of the smoothing techniques applied to a rotor passage is presented and the influence of chosen geometrical features on the flow solution is evaluated.

This so called blisk is discretized using the finite element method. It is well known that numerical blisk models based on the ideal tuned design show major differences in structural dynamic behavior compared to the real rotor. In this context a modification of the mechanical simulation model should lead to a better accordance of numerical results and the real blisk characteristics. The described model update procedure utilizes data of an optical 3D measurement system. Using this data enables to identify geometric deviations between the ideal design and its real counterpart. Within the update procedure the originally tuned finite element mesh is modified in order to match the measured geometry of the real part. This is done by defining several morph regions. The outer surface nodes of these morph regions change their position along the surface normal vector until they meet the defined deviation constraint. Based on eigenvalue calculations employing free boundary conditions the sensitivity of structural dynamic behavior is shown with respect to small geometric changes. Finally computed eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the updated simulation model are compared with vibration measurement data. A laser Doppler vibrometer is used to detect the vibration responses of the impact excited structure. All experiments are carried out under technical vacuum conditions in order to minimize ambient air damping. In the context of an experimental modal analysis this low damping condition helps to identify more natural frequencies of the investigated structure. This leads to a much more efficient model validation.

Apart from automation itself, a suitable parametric geometry setup plays a significant role in making workflows usable for optimization. At the same time there are tough requirements against the parametric model. For the lowest number of possible parameters, which should be intuitively ascertainable, a high flexibility has to be ensured. Within the parameter range an acceptable stability is necessary. Under these constraints the creation of such parametric models is a challenge, which should not be underestimated especially for a complex geometry. In this work different kinds of parametrization with different levels of complexity will be introduced and compared. Thereby several geometry elements will be used to handle the critical regions of the geometry. In the simplest case a combination of lines and arcs will be applied. These will be replaced by superior elements like a double arc construct or different formulations of b-splines. There will be an additional focus on the variation of spline degree and control points. To guarantee consistency a set of general parameters will be used next to the specific ones at the critical regions. The different parameter boundaries have a influence on the possible geometries and should therefore be tested separately before an optimization run.

Linear dependencies of modal damping ratios on the ambient pressure or the acoustic impedance, respectively, could be shown within experiments carried out inside a pressure chamber. The impact of the ambient air clearly dominates the modal damping ratios compared to the minor contribution of the structure. Assuming that acoustic emission can be regarded as main source of aerodynamic damping a simplified approach for its determination is introduced which only depends on natural frequency, mode shape and acoustic impedance. It is shown that a satisfying match between experiment and computation is achieved for those cases which are dedicated to sufficiently small ratios between wave lengths of acoustic emissions and blade distances.

Besides aerodynamic efficiency constraints, these designs need to meet structural criteria ensuring that they are safe and robust with respect to High Cycle Fatigue (HCF). The estimation of the resonant vibration amplitude is done based on the aerodynamic force and the overall damping level. Since, for many applications the contribution of mechanical damping is often rather low compared to the aerodynamic counterpart, the determination of the aerodynamic damping is vital for the estimation of the forced vibration response. This second part is meant to contribute to a simplified computation of the aerodynamic damping during operation by making additional assumptions: The investigated mode family shall not suffer from flutter, has a high reduced frequency and the influence of adjacent blades is negligible. Under these circumstances a simplified approach can be introduced that allows for the computation of the mean value of the aerodynamic damping based on a steady state CFD solution of the regarded stage. It is well known, that the aerodynamic damping of a blade mode family depends on the inter blade phase angle (IBPA) and its direction of propagation, which is not covered by the simplified approach. For higher modes the difference between the minimum and maximum damping is often low and the mean value is a good approximation, whereas for fundamental modes there is often a significant difference. However, it is shown that considering a mistuned vibration response of the rotor, the expected value of the mistuned damping exhibits the mean value of IBPA-dependent aerodynamic damping. CFD simulations of an oscillating airfoil indicate a certain validity range of the simplified approach based on a modified reduced frequency and inlet Mach number, which allows to determine for which industrial applications the approach is most suitable. Finally, this range of validity is verified with experimentally determined overall damping values from strain gauge measurements during operation for 2 different industrial applications, an axial compressor stage of a jet engine and a radial turbine stage of a turbocharger.

Juli 2016 N2 - Due to the demand of more and more detailed FEM simulation results of whole aero-engine models, the number of DOF of such models (Fig. 1) increases dramatically. Although the available computational power for the solution of such highly nonlinear, dynamic boundary value problems also increased during the last years, the overall computational time of these high-fidelity models for the simulation of a few milliseconds of the running engine is in the order of several weeks even on high performance clusters with thousands of CPU cores. Typically, for such highly dynamic FEM computations explicit time integration schemes are used in order to solve the equations of motion. To keep such a numerical integration stable, the time step size may not exceed a certain critical time step size. Unfortunately, the critical time step size of an explicit time integration algorithm for the engine models under consideration is in the order of 10-8. This means that the simulation of a running engine over a time span of a few seconds results in a computational time of several years with clusters, which are available nowadays. Therefore, implicit time integration schemes, which are unconditionally stable and allow much bigger time steps, have to be used. Since in an implicit integration, in contrast to an explicit one, an equilibrium iteration is always necessary, the computational costs for an implicit time step are much higher than for an explicit time step. Almost all commercial FE codes use the classical Newmark implicit time integration scheme. It will be shown that this algorithm fails especially for the simulation of fast rotating structures if bigger time steps are used. This is demonstrated at the example of academic examples as well as for more realistic rotor models. To overcome the problems of the Newmark integration, a 3-Point-Newmark- Euler-Backward integration scheme [1,2] has been selected, which consists of alternating Newmark and 3-Point-Euler-Backward steps. The additional interpolation information for the Euler-step is provided by the previous Newmark step. This integration procedure has been implemented and successfully applied to the FEM simulation of fast rotating structures, which will be also demonstrated during the presentation.

In particular the impact of superimposing intentional structural mistuning by both random structural mistuning and aerodynamic mistuning is studied. For this purpose reduced order models of the blisk are adjusted for different mistuning distributions. The mistuning itself is characterized by assigning individual stiffness parameters to each blade. The aeroelastic coupling is included employing aerodynamic influence coefficients. By means of genetic algorithm optimizations, structural mistuning patterns are found which yield a mitigation of the forced response below that of the tuned design reference. Ideally a nearly 50 % reduction of maximum response magnitudes is computed for the fundamental bending mode and large mistuning. The solutions found have been proven to be robust with respect to additional random and aerodynamic mistuning in case of large intentional structural mistuning.

This integral design saves a lot of mass and enables higher rotational speeds allowing for higher pressure ratios and hence an increased efficiency. The advantage comes along with the drawback that the structural damping level is extremely low. Nowadays, the dynamics of single-stage rotors is well-investigated, as dynamical analysis of cyclic structures is one of the most important subjects in applied research in turbomachinery. However, the stage-to-stage coupling effect is neglected in most cases. The importance of proper interstage treatment is obvious for adequate multi-stage analyses. Hence the structural dynamics of a multi-stage assembly has recently become an important area of research. In this paper, some multi-stage effects are discussed and three different reduced order techniques are summarized and demonstrated on a multi-stage assembly of academic blisks. The findings are compared to a FE-solution. Particular attention must be paid to disk-dominated modes, which are highly affected by multi-stage behavior. Mistuning modeling is not considered, because it mainly influences blade-dominated vibrations.
