Abstract

Euler-Lagrange method is adopted to simulate 3-D viscous turbulent flow field of a one-stage gas turbine. Gas-solid two-way coupling is realized to analyze the trajectories and slip of 1000 beam particles, with diameter 5~50μm, then calculate the mass erosion rate based on the impact velocity and attack angles. Simulation exhibits: erosion wear is mainly caused by impact of larger particles (>10μm), erosion areas are mainly concentrated on the roots of pressure surface entrance of static blade and on the rear pressure surface of rotor blade. Comparing experiments are conducted between the substrate of X20Cr13 and the specimen with steel-bead injection. Experiment indicates: the attack angle corresponding to the maximal mass loss for substrate is about 40°, while the steal-bead injection is about 50°. Within the scope of the attack angle 20°~80°, the mass loss of the reinforced specimen is obviously less than that of the substrate, and under other angles of attack, the two kinds of material’s erosion tolerance are close to each other.
