- a typical gas turbine engine In a gas turbine engine a typical gas turbine engine generally possesses a forward end and an aft end with its several components following inline therebetween.
- An air inlet or intake is at a forward end of the engine. Moving toward the aft end, in order, the intake is followed by a compressor, a combustion chamber, a turbine, and a nozzle at the aft end of the engine,
- additional components may also be included in the engine, such as, for example, low- pressure and high-pressure compressors, high-pressure and low-pressure turbines, and an external shaft. This, however, is not an exhaustive list.
- An engine also typically has an internal shaft axiaiiy disposed through a center longitudinal axis of the engine.
- the internal shaft is connected to both the turbine and the. air compressor, such that the turbine provides a rotational input to the air compressor to drive the compressor blades,
- a high pressure turbine first receives the hot combustion gases from the combustor and includes a stator nozzle assembly directing the combustion gases downstream through a row of high pressure turbine rotor blades extending radially outwardly from a supporting rotor disk.
- a second stage stator nozzle assembly is positioned downstream of the first stage blades followed in turn by a row of second stage rotor blades extending radially outwardly from a second supporting rotor disk. The turbine converts the combustion gas energy to mechanical energy.
- Vanes or airfoils are typically designed with a primary or optimal position for operation. However, depending on the desired operating condition of the turbine engine, the vanes may be actuated to alternate positions.
- Current stator shroud designs utilize a circular cross-section across which vanes are actuated. As the vanes move from the open design position to off design closed positions, clearance between the vane and shroud increases due to the curvature of the shroud, the flow path geometry and the lower edge shape of the vane, all of which are required to meet the compressor operating requirements,
- a contoured stator shroud vane assembly in a gas turbine engine having an inlet end, an outlet end and a plurality of propulsor components comprises a stator shroud having a generally circular cross - section, the shroud having a forward end, an aft end and at least one surface extending between said first end and said second end, the shroud having a plurality of pivots disposed
- a contoured stator shroud comprises a forward end, an aft end and at least one surface extending between the forward end and the aft end, the at least one surface being tapered from the forward end to the aft end, a plurality of areas of varying elevation disposed about the at least one surface, the plurality of areas each having a peak and a valley, a plurality of pivot apertures spaced about a forward end of the at least one surface.
- a contoured stator shroud comprises a forward end and an aft end, at least one surface extending between the forward end and the second end, the at least one surface having a scalloped chord overhang area, the scalloped area extending in a circumferential direction, a plurality of vane mounting locations disposed circumferentially between the forward end and the aft end.

- the shroud 32 also tapers from a smaller diameter near the forward end 34 to a larger diameter near the aft end 36.
- a clearance is created between a lower edge of the vanes 40 and the outer surface of the shroud 32 when the vanes 40 are seated within the pivots 38.
- the circular cross-section results in increased clearance between the vane and the shroud when the vane is rotated to off design positions.
- the vane 40 includes an outer spindle 44 and an inner spindle 45.

- the stator shroud 32 depicted is at an inner diameter of the vanes 40.
- An engine casing (not shown) may be used to provide the outer diameter pivot location for the vanes 40.
- the stator vane shroud assembly 30 utilizes a shroud 32 having a forward end 34 and aft end 36.
- the shroud 32 is generally circular in cross section as partially shown in the view depicted.
- the diameter at the forward end 34 may be larger than the diameter at the aft end 36.
- the forward end includes a plurality of pivots 38 wherein vanes 40 may be positioned.
- the pivots 38 are recessed areas wherein the vane or air foils 40 are positioned for pivoting utilizing buttons or guides 42.
- a spindle 44 At a radially outward position of the vane 40 is a spindle 44 which may be utilized to mount the second end of the vanes 40 to provide guided pivoting or rotation.
- the spindle 44 may pass through an aperture in an engine easing to stabilize the spindle and allow for pivoting motion.

- Extending rearwardly from the pivots 38 is at least one shroud surface 46, for example a stator chord overhang surface 46.
- the stator chord overhang surface 46 tapers from a smaller diameter near the pivots 38 to a larger diameter near the aft end 36. This axial direction taper or change in elevation may be curved or may be linear.
- stator chord overhang surface 46 is contoured so that the elevation changes in the circumferential direction.
- the curvature 48 of the broken lines depicts the contour of the stator chord overhang surface 46 which varies between a lower elevation and an upper elevation in a circumferential direction.
- the broken line depicts the contour 48 along wavy or sinuous surface 46.
- the stator chord overhang surface 46 has a wavy contour 48 to reduce clearance between the vane 40 and the shroud 32 during movement of the vane 40.
- the variation in elevation in the circumferential direction may be linear.
- the surface 48 includes a plurality of peaks and valleys.
- the axis of the peaks or valleys are generally parallel to the axis of the engine 26 (FIG. 1 ) or at an angle to engine axis 26 is the shroud tapers from forward to aft end.
- the contour 48 significantly reduces the flow field disruptions created by the clearance between the vanes 40 and shroud 32. These clearances would normally adversely affect the intended purpose of the vane airfoil shape, function and configuration when the vane moves between open and closed angular positions.
- the exemplary vane or air foil 40 includes a leading edge 50, and a trailing edge 52 and opposed surfaces extending between.

- the spindle or trunion 44 may be connected to a lever arm or other feature to actuate the vane 40 to a desired position.
- the rotation of the vane 40 provides more than one optimal condition for the vane or air foil to provide improved efficiency and performance at differing operating conditions of the gas turbine engine 10.
- a fillet 54 connects the vane 40 to the button 42 at the radially inner end.
- the lower edge 58 of the vane 40, or vane overhang, is curved and during movement of the vane 40, the lower edge 58 moves away from the typical shroud surface (FIG. 6) which is purely circular in cross section and represented by line 70. This creates clearance between the lower vane edge 58 and the chord overhang surface 46 due to the divergent geometries of the two parts.
- the increased clearance which occurs with prior art to systems reduces performance, air flow turn and increases loss in this region which is undesirable and inhibits improvements in engine performance.
- the contour represented by the wavy or curved broken line 48 decreases clearance between the shroud 32 and the vane 40 improving the air turning performance and reducing loss in this region.
- FIG. 4 a side section view of the assembly 30 of Fig. 3 is depicted.

- a button 42 is seated within the generally circularly shaped pivot 38 and the vane 40 is connected to the button 42 by fillet 54.
- a clearance 60 is shown between a lower edge 58 of the vane and the stator chord overhang 46 .
- the clearance is reduced relative to prior art stators due to the curvature in the axial direction, between the forward end 34 and the aft end 36.
- the clearance is decreased through the arcuate movement of the vane 40 within the pivot 38 due to the contour 48 along the
- the contour 48 is more clearly shown due to the curvature of the broken Sine 48 which represents the contour of the stator shroud 32.
- a plurality of axially extending contour lines 49 also are shown on the stator chord overhang surface 46 which depict another curvature of the stator 32.
- the vanes 40 are closed when the engine speed is at or very near zero. In this closed position, the vanes 40 are near the uppermost elevation of the contour surface 48. Alternatively, as engine speed increases and approaches a maximum, the vane 40 approaches the lowermost elevation of the contour surface 48.
- the shroud 32 is shown in an aft view looking forward with a vane 40 shown move in multiple positions.
- the contour of the stator chord overhang surface 46 is best described in reference to this view.
- the wavy or sinuous surface 48 is formed by a plurality of scallop-like humps which change between first and second elevations.
- sinuous is used, it should not be limited to mathematically exact sin curve. The term is instead used in a general sense to indicate a repeating change in elevation.
- a broken line 70 is shown in the view to represent a circular reference shape of a prior art shroud.
- the line 70 may also represent a base or first elevation of the stator chord overhang surface 46.
- the line 70 of the instant embodiment may be above or below the valley or lower elevation of the stator chord overhang surface since, as shown, the surface 46 also changes elevation in the axial direction.
- the contour 48 elevation changes are shown by referencing the difference between first elevation 70 and the second upper elevation 72 of the contour.
- the overhang surface 46 changes elevation between a first elevation and a second elevation and with such changing elevation, the clearance between the vane 40 is reduced throughout the positions depicted in FIGs. 6-8.
- an axial flow line 70 which indicates the direction of air flow across the stator shroud 32 between the vanes 40 and in the axial direction parallel to the engine axis 26 (Fig. i),
- the vane 40 may rotate from, for example, minus 3 degrees and about 25 degrees.
- the exemplary vane 40 may move about 14 degrees from the center position in either of two rotational directions.
- this is exemplary and alternate angular ranges may be designed into the vane movement.
- FIG. 7 the vane is shown in a central position which more clearly depicts the lower edge 58 of the vane.
- the vane 40 is in the 1 1 degree position, according to the exemplary range as previously described. This is generally a central position, A pair of clearance arrows are shown in Fig. 7, Clearance 60 depicts the clearance provided by the contoured 48 in cooperation with the lower edge 58 of vane 40. Meanwhile the clearance P is shown which depicts the larger clearance between the lower edge 58 and the prior art circular shroud reference previously described as line 70. From this embodiment, one skilled in the art can clearly see the reduced differential that the contour 48 provides.
- FIG. 8 a second extreme position of the vane 40 is depicted, for example at the 25 degree position. Again the clearance 60 is much smaller than the prior art clearance P as related to the circular shroud reference 70.
- vanes may take various shapes and forms depending upon the design characteristics of the engine. Accordingly, the shape of the contours may be formed to correspond to the shape of the vane Sower edge through a preselected arcuate motion.
- the shroud surface, spindle angle, amount of vane chord overhang and travel are all designed/optimized with reduced clearance for reduced loss and improved performance in mind when optimizing the variable vane system.
- FIG. 9 a chart is shown depicting a relationship between the vane's angle measured in degrees and the clearance between the vane lower edge 58 and the shroud chord overhang 46,
- line 80 having diamond-shaped data points
- the clearance between an angle of minus 10 degrees and 25 increases rather constantly.
- the stator shroud 32 of this prior art embodiment is circular in shape and is lacking the contour shape of the instant embodiments.
- line 82 represented by square-shaped data points begins at the previously defined range of minus 3 degrees and moves to a position of 25 degrees.
- the clearance represented by line 82 is generally constant from about 0 degrees to about 12 degrees, before increasing up to the 25 degree position.
