EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF TURBULENT AIR FLOW BEHAVIOUR IN A ROTOR-STATOR CAVITY

Résumé

The present work considers the turbulent air flow inside an annular high speed rotor-stator cavity opened to the atmosphere at the periphery. The interdisk-spacing is sufficiently large so that the boundary layers developed on each disk are separated and the flow belongs to the regime IV of Daily and Nece (1960). In such a system, the solid body rotation of the core predicted by Batchelor in case of infinite disks is not always observed: the flow behavior in the whole interdisk-spacing is governed by the level of the pre-swirl velocity of the fluid which is closely linked to the peripheral geometry (Debuchy et al (2007)). In the first part of the paper, experimental results including mean radial and tangential velocity components, as well as three turbulent correlations, are presented for several peripheral boundary conditions leading to the same value of the pre-swirl ratio. Measurements are performed by hot-wire probes introduced through the stator and connected to a constant temperature anemometer. In the second part, comparisons between experiments and numerical results are provided. The numerical approach is based on one-point statistical modeling using a low Reynolds number second-order full stress transport closure derived from the Launder and Tselepidakis model (1994) and sensitized to rotation effects (Elena and Schiestel 1996). The aim is to find what type of boundary conditions imposed in the RSM provides the best agreement for this set of flow control parameters.
