The S2 flow path design method of the transonic compressor is used to design the one stage fan in order to replace the original designed blade cascade which has two-stage transonic fan rotors.In the modification design,the camber line is parameterized by a quartic polynomial curve and the thickness distribution of the blade profile is controlled by the double-thrice polynomial.Therefore,the inlet flow has been pre-compressed and the location and intensity of the shock wave at supersonic area have been controlled in order to let the new blade profiles have better aerodynamic performance.The computational results show that the new single stage fan rotor increases the efficiency by two percent at the design condition and the total pressure ratio is slightly higher than that of the original design.At the same time,it also meets the mass flow rate and the geometrical size requirements for the modification design.

This article discusses the development of the numerical methods of gas flow coupled with heat transfer,and introduces the fluid net-works method for rapid prediction of the performance of the composite cooling structures in turbine blade.The reliability of these methods is verified by comparing experimental data.For a HPT rotor blade,a rapid prediction on the internal cooling structures is first made by using the fluid network analysis,then an assessment of aerodynamic and heat transfer characteristics is conducted.Based on the network analysis results,three ways to improve the design of the cooling structures are tested,i.e.,adjusting the cooling gas flow mass ratios for different inner cooling cavities,reducing the flow resistances of the channel turning structures,and improving the local internal cooling structure geometries with high temperature distribution.Through the verification of full three-dimensional gas/solid/coolant conjugate heat transfer calculation,we conclude that the modified design can make the overall temperature distribution more even by significantly reducing the highest temperature of the blade surface,and reasonably matching the parameters of different coolant inlets.The results show that the proposed calculation methods can remarkably reduce the design cycle of complex turbine blade cooling structure.
