Numerical and Experimental Investigation of the Flow Field in Five Blade Linear Cascade in Subsonic Flow
Šnábl, Pavel ; Chindada, Sony ; Bublík, O. ; Procházka, Pavel P. ; Prasad, Chandra Shekhar
In large steam turbines, last stage blades are very long and must be designed very thin and with no shroud to minimize the centrifugal force which leads to low eigenfrequencies and low structural damping. In this case, aero-elastic damping plays important role on last stage bladed disc’s dynamics. Three major aero-elastic issues found in turbomachinery are forced response, non-synchronous vibrations, and flutter. Flutter is an unstable, self-excited vibration resulting from coupling between the structural vibrations and unsteady aerodynamic forces. It is clear that this unstable behaviour must be avoided and predictions of flutter behaviour need to be performed during design stage of the turbine.\n

Effect of Cylinder Roughness on Strouhal Number
Yanovych, Vitalii ; Duda, D. ; Uruba, Václav ; Procházka, Pavel P. ; Antoš, Pavel
The main goal of this paper is to establish a better understanding of the relationship between a Strouhal number and surface roughness. Hot-wire anemometry was used to evaluations the characteristics of turbulent flow behind circular cylinders with different relative roughness 0% (smooth surface) 0.83%, 1.67%, 3.33%, and 6.67%. At the experimental investigation, the Reynolds number based on the cylinder diameter was 5 × 103 < Red < 2 × 104. The obtained data showed that the Strouhal number decreased with increasing roughness. While, the dissipation rate decreases, and the value of the Kolmogorov and Taylor microscales increases. Also, spectral analysis of streamwise velocity fluctuations allowed us to estimate the location of the vortex-shedding frequency which at growing roughness tends to reduce.

The Design and Aerodynamic Testing of DPIK Probe
Procházka, Pavel P. ; Barraclough, V. ; Skála, Vladislav ; Uruba, Václav
The isokinetic probe used to detect the liquid phase drift from the cooling tower is presented here. The main motivation is costs reduction that arises during standard drift measurements. The probe was developed in the framework of the grant project between private company 4Jtech and Institute of Thermomechanics. The aerodynamic design and optimization of this probe should fulfill one important criterion – to capture the droplets from the drift with maximal efficiency. Kalorimetric principle is then used to evaluate the amount of trapped water. Standard PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) measurement technique and modified IPI (Interferometric Particle Imaging) methods were used to measure the flow field topology and the particle size distribution, respectively.

A new blade cascade for flutter studies
Šnábl, Pavel ; Pešek, Luděk ; Procházka, Pavel P. ; Skála, V.
In this paper, a new blade cascade, developed in the Institute of Thermomechanics, is presented. The geometry of the cascade was modified so now the stall flutter can occur. It has some major construction improvements over the original cascade which now allow more precise and reliable measurements. The stability of the new blade cascade with five NACA 0010 profiles with rotational degree of freedom is assessed by Travelling Wave Mode approach and Aerodynamic Influence Coefficient approach.

Aeroacoustic Noise Source Investigation in the Case of the Blade Cascade
Procházka, Pavel P. ; Antoš, Pavel ; Šnábl, Pavel
The blade cascade consisted of five NACA 0010 profiles is examined in the framework of project dealing with nonlinear dynamic phenomenon related to stall flutter of flexible profiles with pitch degree of freedom in subsonic flow. Various angles of attack (AoA) of the cascade generates different (broadband) aeroacoustic noise. The goal of this article is to describe the existence of possible noise sources using two experimental methods – Particle Image velocimetry (PIV) and hot-wire (HW) anemometry.

On Harmonic Content of the Wake Behind a Circular Cylinder
Uruba, Václav ; Procházka, Pavel P.
The wake behind cylinder of circular cross-section is subjected to detailed analysis from the point of view harmonic content. The basic, fundamental frequency could be linked to well-known Bénard-von Kámán vortex street, it is called Strouhal frequency very often. However higher harmonics of 2nd and 3rd order have been detected, as well as important inharmonic partials. The topologies of the velocity flow-field corresponding to the harmonic is to be shown.

Effect of oscillating blade on tonal noise of blade cascade with five NACA 0010 profiles
Šnábl, Pavel ; Pešek, Luděk ; Radolf, Vojtěch ; Antoš, Pavel ; Procházka, Pavel P. ; Prasad, Chandra Shekhar
The airfoil tonal noise is a well known phenomenon which appears on single airfoils in moderate Reynolds numbers at low angles of attack. It can appear on small aircrafts, fans, wind turbines etc. In thispaper, it was observed on a blade cascade consisting of five NACA 0010 profiles placed in a closed rectangular channel with hard walls when for given conditions, i.e. flow velocity and angle of attack, the cascade tunes to one single frequency. During the middle blade oscillation, the single tone splits up to several tones with lower intensity modulated by the excitation frequency. Thus, the oscillation of one blade suppresses the tonal noise generation in the cascade.

Torque and Flow Field Optical Measurements of The Single Blade Under Stall Flutter
Procházka, Pavel P. ; Uruba, Václav ; Šnábl, Pavel
The single blade NACA0010 was exposed to the incoming flow inside a channel with rectangular cross-section. The blade was investigated for three different working regimes. The first configuration was for fixed blade. The second regime was for fluttering blade due to flow instabilities and the last one was performed for blade under force excitation. The flow field was measured using Particle Image Velocimetry. A force transducer and a small rotary encoder were used to evaluate the force ratios.

Simple model for investigation of aerodynamic coupling in linear blade cascades
Chládek, Štěpán ; Pešek, Luděk ; Procházka, Pavel P.
Simple viscous-elastic model has been proposed for investigation of aerodynamic coupling in linear blade cascades. One blade is connected with both adjacent blades using idealized springs and dampers which represent viscous fluid. All blades may oscillate with one degree of freedom represented by vertical translation. Energy method using travelling waves model was utilized for aerodynamic damping coefficient derivation. The proposed model does not compute the damping values quantitatively, nevertheless it provides the damping shape analysis. Interesting results are presented within zero and low subsonic flow velocities, where the experiment included velocity flow field measurement.
