Flow Characteristics of Tip Clearance in Axial Compressor

Article Preview

Abstract:

Tip clearance of compressor rotor blade is introduced for avoiding friction collision between the moving blade and the casing. Because of the existence of the pressure difference between pressure surfaces and the suction surfaces of the blade, the blending of the leakage flow with the mainstream causes losses, which affects internal flow field and overall performance of the compressor. In this article, numerical analysis software is used to study the multi-condition performance of a six and a half axial flow compressor, for analyzing the impact of leakage flow patterns on compressor.
