Abstract:
The aerodynamic performance of 1.5 high pressure cylinder steam turbine stage with rotor blade tip labyrinth and brush seals is numerically investigated using three-dimensional ReynoldsAveraged Navier-Stokes(RANS) and SST turbulence model based on non-linear Darcian porous model. The numerical prediction of the leakage flow rate of experimental brush seal is well agreement with the experimental measurements. The reliability of the presented numerical method is validated. Effect of the rotor blade tip labyrinth and brush seal on the tip leakage flow rate and aerodynamic parameters of turbine stage is analyzed in detailed. The obtained results show that the aerodynamic efficiency of turbine stage with rotor blade tip brush seal increases up to 0.15% by comparison of the labyrinth seal. In addition, the tip leakage flow rate of brush seal decreases by 30.74% by comparison of labyrinth seal. The similar influence of the rotor tip brush and labyrinth seal on the reaction degree and rotor blade exit flow angle is obtained. Brush seal performs better in sealing performance as the pressure drop across bristles is higher than that across the labyrinth tooth at the same location in labyrinth shroud seal. © 2020, Science Press.
