Abstract

Based on the method to change blade loading type along blade height, that is, applying aft-loading at both end zones of cascade while applying fore-loading in the mid zone of cascade, HTC (Harbin Turbine Company) designed a twisted and bowed stationary cascade with low aspect ratio and large enthalpy drop. To verify the aerodynamic performance of such cascade, firstly, low-speed wind tunnel tests were conducted to validate the calculation results of commercial software CFX, and then numerical simulations were made for the aerodynamic performance of the cascade at different Mach numbers. The simulation results show that the large enthalpy drop stationary cascade designed by HTC can offer good aerodynamic performance while keeping its high-load characteristics in the change range of outlet Mach number as stated in this paper.
