Abstract [en]

Squealer tip has a significant influence on both aerodynamic and heat transfer characteristics of the high-pressure turbine. Among the geometric parameters of the squealer, squealer height is one of the essential parameters in the tip design. However, due to the complexity of parameterization and meshing of the squealer, the related research is usually carried out on the squealer with a constant height. In this paper, a parameterization strategy generates squealer of assigned heights at four key positions of the blade, the leading edge-pressure side, the leading edge-suction side, the trailing edge-pressure side, and the trailing edge-suction side. An in-house mesh generation platform (NuFlux) is adopted to automatically generate the structured meshes. The aerothermal performance of a transonic turbine stage is assessed using steady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes simulations with the k − ω shear stress transport model for the turbulence closure. The main purpose is to obtain the squealer tip configuration with the lowest heat transfer coefficient. The results show that non-uniform squealer further reduces the cavity floor heat transfer on the basis of uniform squealer by changing the interaction process between the asymmetric vortex pair (the pressure-side corner vortex and the casing-driven scraping vortex), which provides a valuable reference for the design of the squealer tip of advanced high-pressure turbines.
