Abstract

The T106 axial turbine series is used extensively by major engine manufacturers, because of its ability to give the best performance at low pressure conditions. However, it has high secondary flow development. The present work aims at understanding the effect of high gas velocities and high temperatures on secondary flows in the T106A Low Pressure Turbine cascade for both smooth and rough blade surfaces. CFD analysis has been conducted using ANSYS CFX v19.1 using the k – ε model for turbulence and the total energy model for overall analysis, for five velocities and a fixed high temperature which was imposed using the total temperature equation. It was observed that there was no variation in the overall pressure profile for smooth and rough blade surfaces, and there was a large positive pressure coefficient. However, there was a high rate of entropy generation and turbulent kinetic energy production rate, accompanied by high heat transfer coefficients in the case of rough blade surface. For the case of the rough blade, as compared to the smoother blade, the boundary layer separation increased further affront towards the leading edge with increase in gas velocity and surface roughness along with increasing Turbulent Kinetic Energy (TKE) in both the cases.
