Abstract. The main investigation subject considered in this paper is axial compressor model stage K1002L. Three simulation models were designed: Scheme 1 – inlet stage model consisting of IGV (Inlet Guide Vane), rotor and diffuser; Scheme 2 – two-stage model: IGV, first-stage rotor, first-stage diffuser, second-stage rotor, EGV (Exit Guide Vane); Scheme 3 – full-round model: IGV, rotor, diffuser.
Numerical investigation of the model stage was held for four circumferential velocities at the outer diameter (Uout=125,160,180,210 m/s) within the range of flow coefficient: φ = 0.4 – 0.6. The computational domain was created with ANSYS CFX Workbench.
According to simulation results, there were constructed aerodynamic characteristic curves of adiabatic efficiency and the adiabatic head coefficient calculated for total parameters were compared with data from the full-scale test received at the Central Boiler and Turbine Institution (CBTI), thus, verification of the calculated data was carried out. Moreover, there were conducted the following studies: comparison of aerodynamic characteristics of the schemes 1, 2; comparison of the sector and full-round models.
The analysis and conclusions are supplemented by gas-dynamic method calculation for axial compressor stages.
