eng Abstract:
The paper presents a 3D numerical simulation of flow in a blade cascade, whose geometry models the test section of a new experimental facility for blade flutter research. In the experimental setup, the middle blade of the cascade undergoes high-frequency forced sinusoidal pitching oscillation. Due to inertial forces, the slender blade deforms elastically to certain degree. The goal of this study is to assess the influence of the elastic deformation on the flow field. To compute the deformed geometry, a transient structural analysis was performed. In the second part, the CFD model of flow past a 3D blade cascade with deformed and undeformed blade is presented and these two configurations are compared. For the deformed configuration the incidence angle increases along the blade span from -1.8° to -2.7°. However, the Mach number distribution along the span varies less than expected. blade cascade, flutter, turbomachinery, CFD
