Influence of Position of Intake Struts on Unsteady Load and Vibration of First-Stage Rotor

To investigate the influence law and mechanism of the relative circumferential position of intake struts on the unsteady load and vibration of the first stage rotor, the first 1.5-stage of a heavy-duty gas turbine compressor with intake struts was numerically simulated. The analysis of the flow fiel...

description To investigate the influence law and mechanism of the relative circumferential position of intake struts on the unsteady load and vibration of the first stage rotor, the first 1.5-stage of a heavy-duty gas turbine compressor with intake struts was numerically simulated. The analysis of the flow field and vibration of the rotor blade reveals that the circumferential position of intake struts has little effect on aerodynamic performance but obviously changes the unsteady load and vibration level of the rotor blade. When strut and inlet guide vane wakes coincide, they are strengthened, resulting in the overall enhancement of the unsteady load and vibration on the rotor blade. The circumferential position of struts changes the combined effect of strut wakes and the first stage stator potential flow on the rotor blade, which has an obvious influence on the unsteady load and vibration in the middle chord length but has little influence on the unsteady load near the leading and trailing edges. Research results provide reference and guidance for the installation of struts.
