- Abstract
During the operational process of an axial-flow compressor, the blade structure is simultaneously subjected to both aerodynamic loads and centrifugal loads, posing significant challenges to the safe and reliable operation of the blades. Considering both centrifugal loads and aerodynamic loads comprehensively, a bidirectional CFD-CSD coupling analysis method for blade structure was established. The Navier–Stokes governing equations were utilized to solve the internal flow field of the axial-flow compressor. The conservative interpolation method was utilized to couple and solve the blade's static equilibrium equation, and the deformation, stress distribution, and prestress modal behavior of compressor blades were mainly analyzed. The research results indicate that the maximum deformation of the blades occurred at the lead edge tip, while stress predominantly concentrated approximately 33% upward from the blade root, exhibiting a radial distribution that gradually decreased. As the rotational speed increased, the maximum deformation of the blades continuously increased. Furthermore, at a constant rotational speed, the maximum deformation of the blade exhibited a trend of first increasing and then decreasing with the increase in mass flow. In contrast, the maximum stress showed a trend of first increasing, then decreasing, and finally increasing again as the rotational speed continuously increased. Centrifugal loads are the primary factor influencing blade stress and natural frequency. During operation, the blades exhibited two resonance points, approximately occurring at 62% and 98% of the design rotational speed.
