Extension of Centrifugal Compressor Operational Stability
Růžička, Miroslav ; Třetina, Karel (referee) ; Kmoch, Petr (referee) ; Klement, Josef (advisor)
Centrifugal compressors with high pressure ratio are widely used in small aircraft turbine engines and turbocharges. At high rotational speeds they have narrow stable operating region and commonly used impellers with back swept blades are not able to ensure requested stability. In order to achieve wider stable operating region, some other anti-surge measures can be used, such as an Internal Recirculation Channel (IRC) located in compressor impeller inlet. This thesis deals with an investigation of IRC influence on centrifugal compressor operational parameters. As a first, the various recirculation channel geometry was studied by using of CFD analysis on simplified computational models. Those geometry, which indicated best results in terms of mass flow and looses in channel were used for testing on a model test device. Subsequently the same geometry was tested on real centrifugal compressor in experimental turbine engine to verify influence of IRC on compressor performance map – pressure ratio and efficiency. Simultaneously the CFD analyses of IRC with a 3D model of compressor impeller were performed and results compared with those, gained from measurement on model and compressor. In addition the measurement of flow field downstream the recirculation channel outlet slot with using of 3-hole pressure probe was performed and compared with flow velocity profiles evaluated from numerical simulations.

CFD simulation of vortex structure in the Francis turbine draft tube at part load operating point - comparison with measurements
Neděla, Jiří ; Urban, Ondřej (referee) ; Štefan, David (advisor)
This master's thesis deals with simulation of vortex structure which is created in the draft tube of Francis turbine, at part load flow conditions. The main objective is to get the most accurate results from the calculations, using the student license of Ansys Fluent 19.1. The results from the calculations are compared with the experiment under the Francis-99 project. Mainlly in terms of dynamic properties of vortex rope – aplitude and frequency of pressure pulsations. Additionaly the time-averaged velocity profiles are compared. I used the test-case provided by NTNU – Norwegian University of Science and Technology under the Francis-99 workshop series.

Formation criterion for various synthetic jets: power and frequency characteristics
Kordík, Jozef ; Trávníček, Zdeněk ; Šafařík, P.
Synthetic jets are generated by periodic alternating flows. The jet parameters are: dimension, frequency, oscillation shape and amplitude. The Reynolds number (ReH) and Strouhal number (StH) (or Stokes number SH) are used as dimensionless paramers. The experiment was performed for the Reynolds number range of ReH = 500–10000 and Strouhal number range of StH = 0.2–8.9. Flow visualization and hot-wire measurement were performed. The present results focusing on the jet formation criterion agree quite well with the available literature (the criterion ReH crit = 0.16 SH2).
