Influence of Centrifugal Compressor Acoustic and Operating Parameters by Stator Geometry Modifications
 Vacula, Jiří ; Vítek, Oldřich (referee) ; Babák, Martin (referee) ; Novotný, Pavel (advisor)
The increasing demands on the operational capabilities of rotating machines are mutually reflected in the ever-increasing computational capabilities. This makes it possible to analyse very detailed aerodynamic phenomena and to investigate the detailed effects of lesser-known aerodynamic principles. The standard aerodynamic design of a centrifugal compressor consists of an open impeller containing a smooth stator; however, the shape of the stator also contributes to the resulting parameters of a rotating machine. Thus, in this paper, the effect of stator geometry is first analysed qualitatively by analytical methods based on the analysis of the Navier-Stokes equation. Next, the influence of stator geometry is investigated by a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tool using circumferential casing treatment. The experimentally measured circumferential grooving of GT15 compressor shows that the quality of the treated surface can have a significant effect on the resulting performance of the rotating machine. Another measured casing treatment variant of the GTD2056 compressor shows an increase in efficiency of 0.5% and a marginal effect on aerodynamic noise. The relationship between the efficiency increases and losses is analysed using a viscous dissipation function that directly points to the influence of the flow field due to the geometric modifications of the stator and is shown to be largely conclusive for describing the losses in the impeller region.
