Abstract
To investigate the effect of different bionic grooves on the tip leakage vortex, four bionic grooves with different shapes were designed, which are semicircular, rectangular, triangular and trapezoid. The streamline, pressure, vortex strength and turbulence kinetic energy were analyzed to clarify the suppression mechanism. When the groove is arranged, the velocity of vortex center and the area of high-intensity vortex area decrease. The vortex strength in the triangular groove is higher than other groove shapes. The pressure in the center of the tip leakage vortex core increases. The low pressure area reduces obviously, which is the smallest in the trapezoidal groove condition. The turbulent kinetic energy in the main flow field increases, but decreases in the tip clearance. The high turbulent kinetic energy region is divided into small pieces by the bionic groove, which is the smallest in the rectangular groove condition. The bionic groove leads to the decrease in lift-to-drag ratio, which is the largest in the semicircular groove and smallest in the rectangular groove condition.
