Definitions

  • the invention relates to a turbomachine.
  • turbomachines are, for example, compressors that are used in jet engines.
  • the blades of compressors tend due to their design and load to a structural vibration excitation.
  • the excitation sources for an undesirable vibration of the blades are of a fluidic nature, wherein the acoustic design of the flow channel can enhance the effect.
  • annulus of the peripheral housing is made substantially smooth, with the rotor moving, for example, with respect to a liner to minimize the annular gap between the tip of the blades and the annulus surface of the housing.
  • the smooth annulus area results in the formation of a stationary splitter vortex at the blade tip which promotes blockage buildup in the blade passage and thereby enhances synchronous (flutter) and non-synchronous blade vibrations.
  • a turbomachine which forms a flow channel between a rotor provided with blades and a peripheral housing.
  • the peripheral housing has a structuring on the inside, which is formed by circumferentially extending grooves. This is intended to influence the boundary layer in the blade tip area.
  • the teaching of claim 1 provides for this purpose to provide a turbomachine having a rotor with a plurality of blades and a peripheral housing surrounding the rotor with a central axis.
  • the peripheral housing or a part connected to this has on the inside an annular space surface which defines an annular space or flow channel of the turbomachine radially outward. It is inventively provided that the annular space surface, at least in a region which peripherally adjacent to a rotor having a circumferentially asymmetric structuring, ie the structuring of the annulus surface is formed circumferentially asymmetric relative to the central axis of the peripheral housing.
  • the annular space surface at least one extending in the circumferential direction portion which provides a symmetrical fracture in an otherwise symmetrical structuring of the annular space surface in the circumferential direction.
  • the annular space surface is symmetrically structured, for example by a periodic sequence of recesses, and this symmetrical structuring is broken in at least one section which extends in the circumferential direction.
  • a recess has a different width or shape than outside the portion that provides the break in symmetry.
  • the considered section is not structured, in particular smooth, while the annular space surface is structured circumferentially symmetrically outside this section.
  • the annulus surface for providing circumferential asymmetry comprises at least one circumferentially extending portion which asymmetrically structures the annulus surface in the circumferential direction, the annulus surface further having at least one symmetric pattern in the circumferential direction.
  • a circumferentially asymmetric structuring is thus superimposed on a circumferentially symmetrical structuring.
  • the flutter stability of the blades is significantly improved. This was demonstrated by the example of compressors in various compressor and engine tests. Due to the improved flutter stability and the working range of a compressor and each compressor stage of the compressor can be extended, and can be increased by suitable choice of the working area of efficiency and weight can be reduced.
  • the circumferentially asymmetric housing contouring according to the invention or the associated advantages may possibly also lead to the number of rotor blades being able to be reduced, which in turn can lead to a lower weight and reduced costs.
  • the non-circumferentially symmetric structuring of the annular space surface also leads to a reduction in the sensitivity of the gap vortex losses with a change in the blade tip gap.
  • the circumferential asymmetry of the structuring of the annular space area required according to the invention represents a greater requirement than the absence of rotational symmetry.
  • a rotational symmetry exists when a rotation around any angle the object represents on itself.
  • a rotational symmetry is already no longer present if the annular space surface is symmetrically structured, for example, has a periodic sequence of elevations and depressions, since for such periodic structuring only rotations by certain angles (corresponding to the period length) reflect the structuring on itself.
  • a circumferential asymmetry is provided, that is, there is no angle other than the 360 ° angle which images the pattern after rotation on itself.
  • a plurality, a symmetry fracture providing sections are formed in the annulus area. However, these are not arranged symmetrically with respect to one another so that they can not be imaged on one another by a rotation at an angle other than 360 °.
  • the annular space surface for providing a circumferential asymmetry on at least one circumferentially extending portion which structurally asymmetric the annular space surface in the circumferential direction, while the annular space surface is otherwise formed smooth in the circumferential direction.
  • the annular space surface is thus basically not structured and rather smooth. Structuring takes place only through the at least one circumferentially extending section. The provision of such a section inherently results in circumferential asymmetry. If several such sections are provided, they are not arranged symmetrically, so that a circumferential asymmetry is likewise provided.
  • the at least one circumferentially extending portion is formed by a recess or depression.
  • the axial extension of the at least one recess is slightly larger than the axial extent of a blade grid of the associated rotor.
  • one or more such recesses or depressions are provided.
  • these are formed circumferentially asymmetrically on the annular space surface, so that overall there is a circumferential asymmetry.

  • a recess has, for example, the shape of a groove or depression.

It may also be provided that each rotor of a considered turbomachine is assigned a different, individual circumferential asymmetry of the housing or its annular space.
  • the structuring of the annular space surface has structures extending in the circumferential direction, for example circumferential grooves which are interrupted, for example, to provide peripheral asymmetry.
  • the peripheral housing itself is circumferentially asymmetric structured, d. H. on the inside of the housing itself asymmetric structures are formed.
  • the peripheral housing is internally connected to a liner or lining ring (liner). Such an insert is often in the area of the front blades of compressors. A circumferentially asymmetric structuring is formed in the insert ring for this case.
