ABSTRACT
In the designora gasturbine engine it is important to have a good prediction of the temperature distribution for componentsof the engine. This research work looks at the methodof predicting air and mct3l temperatures orthc I IP compressordisc drum. It is a common practice to supply cooling discs in die bores between for disc blades by turbine of adjacent the the and air axially air passing die I IP compressor.some ordic central axial througliflow is known to enter the compressorinterdisc cavities and a parasitic temperaturerise occurs in the througliflow air as a result or the convective heat transfer. It is important that the heat transfer mechanismwithin a compressorinterdisc cavity is understood,as the enginedesignerneedsto know die temperatureof the cooling air in order to predict the stressand the iiie orthe compressor, and also to and the disc temperatures predict the scal and blade tip running clearances. In this thesis,computational fluid dynamics(CFD) is usedto study the flow and heat mechanism experiencedby a gasturbine IIP compressorrotor. A review of previous researchwork and knowledge in the field of rotational buoyancy-drivcn flow hasshown that die flow within the and time dependentin nature.Two compressorintcr-disc cavities is highly three-dimensional in the numerical modelling of the flow can be considered;one is to useCFD as a tool to approaches model a single inter-disc cavity with axial througliflow in full three dimensionswith unsteadyflow. Using this approachrequiresa huge amountof computationalmemory and time to run the CFD into flow is down break A to this separate physical process approach models. second complex for introduce but theseprocesses. models cfficicnt mechanisms and approximate computationally The secondapproachhasbeentaken in this thesis,with the aim of producing a methodthat can be incorporatedinto current design practice.Two underlying flow mechanisms may be identified for inter-disc flow this complex flow; the first associated the the cavities and the second within with associated with the axial througliflow under the compressordisc bores. has Using the commercial CFD code FLUENT, modelling of the two underlying flow mechanisms CFD This been developed. beencombinedand a steadyaxis), has mmctric modelling method modelling methodallows for enhancedmixing of the flow within the intcr-disc cavity. The enhanced mixing model is addedto the CFD code by using the User Defined Function (UDF) functionality within FLUENT.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 An Introduction
For a typical civil aero-engine, the main gas stream annulus air temperatures can be of the order of 1800K at entry to the turbine, where combined with high rotational speeds,of typically 10,000 rev/min on a 0.6m diameter, significant rotational stressesare created. The centrifugal loads combined with thermal stressescreate deflections in components that can cause a loss in efficiency, or worse, compromise safety.
The performance of an aero gas turbine engine is characterisedby the thermal efficiency, propulsive efficiency, specific thrust and specific fuel consumption. Improved engine performance may be achieved by increasing the overall pressure ratio of the cycle and by increasing the turbine entry temperature. The gas temperatures experienced by the turbine exceed the melting point temperature used for the turbine components, such as rotor blades, nozzle guide vanes and discs. Having an effective and efficient cooling system reduces these high component temperature levels. To achieve this, cooling air is drawn from the compressor and is passedto the turbine via an internal secondary air system. On its route, this throughflow of air may be heated by both convection and viscous dissipation, and through 'windage' from bolts and other components. Since air is bled from the compressorwhere work has been done to raise its pressure,use of this air usually representsa parasitic loss to the main cycle. The internal air system as a whole may use 20% of the mainstream airflow and cost up to 5% of the specific fuel consumption in a modem turbofan engine. The objective of an efficient cooling system is to maintain acceptablecomponent temperatureswith minimum cost. This involves conveying the air with as little unnecessarypressure loss, temperature rise and coolant flow loss as possible. The internal air systemsalso perform other functions, namely to pressurisethe turbine cavities and sealsto prevent hot gas ingestion from the main gas stream, to control the radial temperature gradients in the compressorand turbine discs to reduce stressesand tip clearances,to balance bearing loads on each spool and to pressurisethe bearing chambersto prevent oil leakage and the possibility of oil fires. In the design of a gas turbine engine it is important to have a good prediction of the temperature distribution for all componentsof the engine, especially critical rotating componentssuch as discs.

thermalefficiency. I lcnce, the internal air systemmust be designedin sucha way to keep the cooling air flow rate to a minimum but to retain a pressurelevel that is sufficicrit to provide the requiredflow rate and temperaturefor turbine cooling and rim scaling pressurization. Unfortunately,the bcncijts gained from increasingthe overall pressureratio reducethe cooling potentialof the internal systemair (higher inlet temperature) and increasethe bcaring loadsand scal leakageflows. As a consequence, the internal systemflow needsto be increased.In ordcr to balance theseconflicting requirementsand optimize the internal air system,detaileddesign rules and reliable predictive design methodsfor the fluid flow and the heat transferin the gas turbine components arc required. This research of the I IP work looks at the methodof predicting air and metal temperatures As mentionedpreviously in the designora gasturbine engine it is important to havea compressor. distribution for all components of the engine,especiallycritical good prediction of the temperature levels and gradientshavea very rotating components such as discs.11is is bcc3usctemperature strongeffect upon componentlife. As cooling air flows through the borc of the compressorit interactswith the air inside the compressor disc cavities. Someof this central axial throughflow is known to cnter the intcr-disc cavity and a parasitic temperature rise occursin the througliflow air as a result of the convectiveheat transrerfrom the disc surraccsand the shroudand also, as mentioned aboveadditional heatingmay occur due to viscousdissipationand 'windage'.

Today's computationalmethodof using thermal analysisto predict componentmetal temperatures is supportedby expensiverotating metal temperaturemeasurements on an engine late in to the enginedevelopmentprogramme(costing up to L2 million per test). It is important that the design engineerhasan understanding of the heattransrcr processinside the compressorcavities early on in the enginedesign,so any changesin designcan be madebefore the engine validation and certification tests.
I'lic flow in the intcr-disc cavities becomes highly complex when the shroud or the discs arc heated, have been Experimental flow becoming dimensional dependent. tests the three time with and pcrrorincd to investigate the flow inside a simple rectangular rotating cavity with a central axial throughflow, see for example Farthing.

A major objective or the current study is to develop an improved predictive capability for use in design calculations.
Two underlying flow mechanisms may be identified for this complex flow; the first associated with the flow within the intcr-disc cavities and the secondassociated with the axial throughflow under dic compressor disc bores.Both of theseflow mechanisms will be discussedin the review of previouswork in Chapter2. The flow within the inicr-disc cavity is a natural convection,buoyancy dominatedmechanismresulting from the differential heatingbetweenthe two compressor discs and the connectingshroudat the outer radius of the cavity. In an enginethe temperature of the cavity decreasing shroudis usually hottestwith the temperature moving radially inwards to the disc cobs, which are cooled by the axial flow of air under the disc cobs.A small amountof the axial throughflow is known to enter the intcr-disc cavity at distinct circumferential positions that do vary with time, but how much flow and at what circumferential locationsstill needsto be fully investigated. With somegas turbine enginesthe compressorintcr-disc cavities arc scaledwith no flow entering the cavity. Chapter2 presentsa review of existing work and knowledgein the field of rotational buoyancy-drivcnflow. Both scaledcavity flow and flow in an enclosedcavity with an axial cross flow arc considered. In an attemptto understand the licat transfer processthe simpicr caseora completely cncloscd cavity will be consideredfirst. In the study the flow inside the cavity might be assumed to have discsand hcncc tile relative solid body rotation, rotating at the samespeedas the compressor velocity of the fluid to the walls is near zero. As a precursorto the rotating flow studies,Chapter3 describes a CFD study of the flow due to gravity-drivcn natural convectionin a stationarythreedimensionalcube.Ilic CFD resultsare comparedwith experimentaldata from Kirkpatrick and Bohn [ 1986].Tlicse workers performedexperimentson high Rayleigh numbernaturalconvection in a cubewith various configurationsof heatedand cooled vcrtical and horizontal surfaces.All the configurationswere variationsof the 'licating from below' case.The CFD resultsare compared distribution. for heat transfer,flow patternsand temperature with the experimentalmeasurements A CFD study of buoyancy-induccdflow in a centrifugal force field is prcscntedin Chapter4.

REVIEW OFPREVIOUS WORK
2.1 Introduction To gain an understanding of the fundamentalphysicsof the complex flow mechanismwithin the inter-disc cavities, the literature review will look at two flow mechanisms. Firstly the buoyancydriven flow within an cncloscdrotating disc cavity and secondlythe cffcct of axial throughflow or intcr-disc flow the cross-flow through the borc or the compressor the the cavity. within on Buoyancycflects, relevantto the intcr-disc cavity flow. can be broken down into two further categories, a stationarycncloscdcavity and a rotating encloscdcavity. Thesearc discussedin sections2.2 and 2.3 below. For the stationarycavity the driving mechanismfor the flow is buoyancyunder the gravitational forcc. To achievcvariousdegrees orbuoyancy differential heating betweenthe surraccsor the enclosedcavity havc beenused.Natural convectionin a rotating cavity is achievedby rotating the cavity about an offset longitudinal axis. At high rotational speeds, differenceslead to ccntrirugally driven centrifugal force dominatesover gravity and temperature but driven is This to the convection to natural convection. gravitational expected show similarities will be modified by the Coriolis force in the rotating cavity. Section2.4 reviews the work carried out investigatingthe cffcct that axial througliflow hason the flow within the disc cavities. Different numerical approaches using ComputationalFluid Dynamics(CFD) to solve thesetypesof flows arc discussedin section2.5. In section 2.6 the work on the cross-flow over a stationarycavity is reviewed.The chapteris completedin section2.7 by discussingpossiblemethodsof numerically simulating theseflow types by using a steadyflow two-dimensionalaxisymnictric CFD model modificd to capturethe 3D unsteadyflow cffccts.

most of it is transportedto the upper region by thermalsgenerated along convection lines in the form of plumes.

2.2.2 Natural convection with healed side %valls As for Rayleigh-136nard convection.a body or i itcratureis available for convection in cavities with heatedsidewalls. Examplesor this research arc describedbelow. Pcngand Davidson [20011carried out a numerical investigationof turbulent natural convection flow (Ra - 1.58xI C,a relatively low Rayleigh number)in a confincd cavity with two diffcrcntially heatedsidewalls by meansof large eddy simulation (LES). The flow was cxpcrimcnt: klly idcntirjcd by a relatively low turbulencelevel and thcrtnal stratification. by Tian [19971as being characterized No visible transition was detectedin the boundarylayer along the hcatcd/coolcdvertical walls. A dynamic sub-grid-scale(SGS) model modificd for buoyancyflow was usedin the simulation. Pcng and Davidsoncomparedtheir numericalpredictionswith Tian's test data. The natural convection flow experimentcarried out by Tian usedan air-fillcd cavity with relative dimensionsof W- D/2, If - D/2 and D in the x, y and z (spanwisc)directions.The two opposite (cold wall) were maintainedat constant Rayleigh The hot difference K, 40 to temperature cold wall. temperature wall orAT with a being identificd 0 113 Ra (g Pr)/v2 1.58x 109.7lic flow AT as 31ly was was cxpcrimcnt, number layer boundary in detected by low the along transition turbulence was charactcriscd and no visible the licated/coolcdvertical walls.

dynamic SGS model (mean flow streamlinesin the x-y plane) show that within the cavity several circulating flow regionsexist away from the ncar-wall boundarylayer flows. There cxist several smallercirculations (or rolls) next to the wall flows that arc comparativelystrong. With increasing Rayleighnumbers,the boundary layer flow may be more intensiveand the ncighbouring rolls could be expectedto mergewith eachother to ronn a large circulating motion aroundtile core. Pcngand Davidsonconcludedthat tile LES simulation is able to reasonablyreproducethe global mean flow and thermal f icld, as validated in the experiment.The dynamic SGS model is able to yield mean flow quantitiesthat agreewith the measured in the data,howevertherearc somediscrepancies prediction of turbulence,particularly in the outer region of the ncar-wall flow where the boundary layer interactswith the circulating core region. Pcngand Davidsonshowedthat the timc-avcragcd contribution of the SGS shcarstressis significantly smaller than its resolvablecounterpart,which illustratesthat the sub-gdd scaleturbulent transportis a secondary cffcct. The most visible SGS contribution is not in the vicinity of the wall but in the region about the maximum velocity in the boundarylaycr. In the viscous/conductivcsub-laycrorthc boundarylaycrclosc to the licated1cooled vertical walls the flow tendsto form strcak-likc structures,which do not however emergein the ncar-wall flow along the horizontal top and bottom walls, where flow tendsto be rclaminarizcd.

Comparing the results for configuration A widi configuration 1) shows that the change in geometry has only a weak influence on the licat transfer in the rotating annulus. 11c insertion orthc separation walls, as for configuration C, attenuates the relative circumfcrcntial velocity inside the cavity, resulting in a decrease orthe radial component ortim Coriolis force. The natural convection flow inside the cavity is strcngtlicncd so the heat transfcr is increased. Comparing the results from Configuration C to those from B confirmed the increase in licat transfer for the separated wall sector cavity.

Comparison of the level orhcat transfer between the pure radial and pure axial directed heat flux cases shows that the radial heat transrcr is the important mechanism for cavities with the combination oraxial and radial temperature distributions that occur in gas turbine compressor disc cavities.

2.4.1.2Nonisothernial flow
When the cavity is heated, the Sussex research has indicated that significantly more of the throughflow penetrates into the outer part of the cavity. Most observations of tile heated now structure were made with gap ratios of G-0.124 distribution 0.267, temperature a surface and and
that decreaseswith radius. It was found that this gave a clearly defincd flow structure. Long and Tuckcr [I 994a] found that the flow structure inside the cavity is heavily influenced by the radial distribution or surface temperature imposed on the discs. Flow entered the cavity in one or more in bifurcated forming the radialthe orcirculations radial arms, near outer radius one or more pairs circumferential, r-O plane. A schematic diagram, in the r-O plane, of the heated flow structure is shown in Figure 2.6. One circulation rotated in the same direction as the discs, called the cyclonic region; the other circulation rotated in the opposite direction, which is called the anticyclonic region. Under most conditions the regions orcirculations did not merge but were separated by a region in which the fluid did not appear to enter. The cyclonic region has a lower pressure than that of the anticyclonic region. In the experiment with a surrace temperature distribution that increases with radius it was not possible to obtain clear visual or photographic evidence of the flow structure in the cavity. I Iowcvcr the overall impression was that significantly more of the central througliflow penetrated the cavity, the higher velocities leading to an ill-defined flow structure especially in the be in flow difTercnccs These to qualitatively may the structure region adjacent peripheral shroud. explained from consideration of thermal stratification in a centrifugal rorce field. A fluid temperature that decreaseswith radius has a stable stratification, whilst a fluid temperature that increases with radius has an unstable stratification. resulting in incrcaicd radial mixing. It appears that heating the cavity introduces buoyancy forces that act to dcstabilise the central througliflow. 27
Farthing[1988] found that when only the shroudwas heateda similar flow structureto one mentionedaboveoccurs,cxccpt there were multiple radial armsand multiple separationzones. Whenboth the shroud and the discs were heated,the sameflow structureas for the heatedshroud wasobserved.T`hcse radial armsappearto exchangefluid with the strongcyclonic flow adj3centto the shroud.The cntirc flow within the cavity routes at an averageangularvelocity, w, which is found to vary with the disc gap ratio (axial distancebct%%, ccn the discs to the cavity outer radius). and is different from (1, the angular speedorthc cavity.

periodicity in the flow structure.This was linked to the existenceof pairs orcontra-rotating vortices,which is consistentwith the current understanding or the heatedflow structures. The SussexMultiple Cavity Rig shroud heat transferresults from Build 2 and Build 3 have been reportedby Long ct al. [2006b]. The heat transfer from the shroudwas shown to be governedby rotationally induced free convectionand was mainly affccted by the shroudGrashofnumber.The axial througliflow rate had little or no cffcct on the shroudheat transfer.Ilic heattransfcr appeared also to be virtually insensitiveto the senseorshall rotation. Earlier work hasdemonstrated the principle that the shroud heat transfermay be predictedfrom modified cst3blishcdcorrelationsfor free convection from a horizontal plate in a gravitational field. Gravitational accelerationis replaced is usedand not the inlet temperature. with the centripetalterm and the cavity core air temperature I'lic rig temperature data was consistentwith this approach.T'hercwas a diffcrcncc in the shroud heattransferbetweenBuild 2 and Build 3, with values from Build 3 being greaterthan from Build 2. This difference was attributed to the greaterinfluenceof the axial throughtlow on the cavity air The heat transfer from the inside ora rotating conical surface when the annulargap was increased. exposedto axial througliflow could also be predictedusing the frcc convcctions,providing the Rossbynumber, Ro, was small enough.

It is clear frorn Long ct al's work that the shrouddoes havean influence on the flow in the cavity. As mentionedearlier for an unheated shroudand a narrow cavity and a small radial inlct (as with the Farthingct al. experiment)heatingthe disc createdbuoyancy forcesthat dcstabiliscthe axial througliflow, and the narrow gap ratio suppresses rorcedconvectioncffccts. For a wider gap ratio (Long [ 19941), forced convectioneffects would be cxpectedto havean cffcct on the flow in the cavity. In both narrow and wide gap ratio cases,the with valuesof the maximum disc surfacetemperature was comparableto the shroudtemperature, buoyancyparameterbasedon the averagedisc surfacetemperature of PAT.q - 0.25. So even in the wider gap ratio cavity. buoyancydriven cffccts occurredtowardsthe outer radiusor the discs.71c

disc licating pattern on the SussexMultiple Cavity Rig was quite different to that on tile earlier singlecavities. The maximum disc temperature was around25K lessthan the shroudtemperature and typical valuesof [fie buoyancyparameterwere in tile range0.02 < PAT.,j < 0.1. The gap ratio G-0.2 was also significantly larger than in the earlier single cavity work. Taking into consideration all thesef3ctors,and the presence of a shaft at a relatively large radius ratio, it is perhapsnot surprisingthat there was little evidenceof buoyancydriven heat transrcrbehaviouron tile disc surfacesin OleLong experiments.

Similar cffccts havebeenobservedror planar two-dimcnsional flow over a stationaryplanar 2D cavity. I fenceit is also appropriateto considerthis simpler planar flow. The literature review hasrevealeda limited amountof research work hasbeencompletedon this subject. It was decidedto focus mainly on the study by I laugenand Dhanak[1966).

This could be important to the rotating cavity problem because from flow layer levels heat know to tile the cross to the transfer shcar need of and momentum across die cavity, or (in termsof a compressor)the transferof heatand momentumfrom the axial througliflow under tile disc boresto the intcr-disc:cavities.

3.1 Introduction
Publishedresearchin this areaof natural convection in an enclosedcavity appearsto have been limited to experimental investigations. whilst very little computational modelling has been published.The majority of the experimental researchhas beenperformed for the limiting casesor vertical enclosuresheatedfrom below and cooled from above, and horizontal enclosures diffcrcntially heatedfrom the side. A smaller amount of cxpcrimcrital work has beenperformed for the mixed cavity natural convection, where the enclosureis both heatedand cooled top and bottom and on the sides.This chaptercornparcsthe CFD results for natural convection in a cube with test data from the Kirkpatrick and Bohn's ( 1986] cxpcrimentst. First, a description orthe experiment will be presentedfollowed by the licat transrcr results in section 3.2. In section 3.3 the numerical investigation using the FLUENT [1998) CFD code will be discussed.CFD results will be presented in section 3.4, firstly for the steady flow and secondly for the unsteadyflow solutions. Summary and conclusionsfor the chapter will be in presentedin section 3.5.

To solve the system orcouplcd differential equationsa rinite volume schemewas used. For both tile steadyand unsteady flow models, the segregated solver method was used, where ilia governing equationsare solved sequentially. In ilia segregated solution method, each discrete, non-lincar equationis linearized implicitly with respectto that equation's dependentvariable. Becauseilia equationsarc non-lincar, an iterative solution loop must be performed before a convergedsolution is obtained. Each iteration consistsorupdating the fluid properties.the u, v and w momentum equationsare each solved in turn using tile current valuesorprcssurcs and face massfluxes (update (fie velocity field), solve the prcssurc-corrcction(continuity) equation (update pressure,face mass fluxes), solve energy, turbulenceand other scalar equationsand complete the iteration loop by checking for convergence.Temperatures,pressures, and u, v and w velocities are calculatedand storedat the call centrcs. The method chosen ror discrctization of the scalar and momentum equationswas the sccond-ordcrupwind scheme.A secondorder schemewas used ror ilia pressure interpolation and for the prcssurc-vclocity coupling (prcssurc-corrcction)the SIMPLE algorithm was used.

Table 3.1 clearly shows that the heat transfer computedby the steady laminar flow model was closer to the measurements than for the turbulent flow model. Tlic steady flow turbulencemodel appearsto damp down the tlicnnal activity within ilia cavity. However, for ilia steadylaminar flow model there arc large discrepanciesin the licat transter on the hot and cold surraccs.71is error in the steadystatecalculations may be expected,as the flow widiin the cavity is clearly unstableand thcrcrorc time dcpcndcnL Convergenceof the steady flow solutions were also a problem making the solutions doubtful and unsatisfactory.1lcncc the needto run ilia unsteadyflow solutions.

The CFD heat transfer compareswell with the measurements ror the top and bottom surraccsbut not for the sidewalls.

CHAPTER 4
COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS SIMULATION FOR CONVECTION IN AN ENCLOSED ROTATING ANNULAR SECTOR CAVITY
Summary
This chapterextendsthe CFD simulation of natural convection in a stationary heatedcube discussedin the previous chapter to the modelling orconvection in a rotating enclosedannular sectorcavity. The computations were pcrroancd assumingunsteadyflow and the results have been comparedwith other worker's experimentalmeasurements and numerical predictions for heat transrcr and other flow ficid parameters.Some good agreementwith experimental values for mean lowcvcr there arc surfacelicat transfer has been shown for Rayleigh numbersof the order 1010.1 also somepoor results froin the CFD simulations of the scaledrotating sector.The reasonsfor the discrepanciesin the hcat transfer results betweenthe experimental and CFD predictions arc discussed.
4.1 In(roduction
Both experimentalinvestigations and numerical simulations were carried out by Bohn ct al [ 19931 to analysethe convective heat transrcr in a closed, gas-fillcd annulus rotating around its horizontal axis using a rig in the Institute orStcam and GasTurbines at the Technical University orAnclicn. A brief description or the experimentsand the three test configurations were given in Chapter 2, section 2.3. The configurations testedin the Aachen experiment are shown in Figure 2.2. It is to be ror distance between inner that the cylindrical wall noted the radial cylindrical wall and outer Ilic axial length was kept configuration A was twice the distanceorthat for configuration 11. constant for both of theseconfigurations. Resultsrrorn the experiment and numerical simulation were presentedfor the pure radial or centripetal licat flux situation, where natural convection radial licat transrcr from the heatedouter wall to the cooled inner wall occurs (with the side wall thermally insulated),driven by the buoyancy cffect under rotation. Further work to investigatethe effect or dividing the annulus into sections,by inserting eight radial separationwalls to rorm a 45*sector, configuration C (configuration 11with a 451sector)was also pcrrormcd on the Aachen rig. In the cxperimcntal investigationsthe rangeof rotational Raylcigh number encounteredwas between 1.0 x
68
107and 1.0 x 1012. A steady state numerical investigation was performed by Bohn ct al. assuming isothermalcylindrical walls and adiabatic sidcwalls for the 45* sectoredannular cavity. Bohn ct al. [ 19941 also used the Aachen rig to investigate the axially directed licat flux case,where one disc sidcwall was hot and the opposite disc was cold with all the other walls thermally insulated. Only configuration B was considered in that investigation. In addition to the experimentalwork, Bolin ct al also conductednumerical calculations for the purely axial heat transfer case.
Unsteady 3D CFD modellingof convection in a rotatingenclosed annular sector cavity hasbeen in thepresent C, with radiallicat undertaken configuration study.Only the450annular sectorcase, flow hasbeenconsidered in this currentwork.

4.2 Description or me Experlment The dimensionsof the enclosuresare given in Figure 2.2. For the radial beat flux tests.an electrical heaterplaced at the outcr radius of the annulus was usedto input heat into the cavity. I feat is removed from the cavity by a water-cooled rotor shaft at the inner radius of the cavity. Both the disc surracesof the cavity were thcrnially insulated.The cavity could be pressurized.Ilic rotor shaft was driven by a DC motor. The test fluid contained in the enclosureswas air. I feat fluxes from the outer cylindrical wall to the working fluid and rrom the working fluid to the inner cylindrical wall were determinedby measuringthe temperaturedifferencesacrossthermally resistantlayers. During the experimentsthe rotor speed,the cavity pressure,electric current to the heaterand the massflow rate of (he cooling water were kept at constant for each test condition. For the radial heat flow tests the maximum rotor speedtestedwas 3500 RPNLThe maximum pressurein the cavity could be set up 17hc to 4 bar. I'lic temperatureat the outer heatedcylindrical wall could be increasedup to I OOOC. minimum temperatureat the cooled surfacewas fixcd by the cooling water, which was taken from a water tap, with a temperaturebetween 80Cand 15*C. For the purc axially heat transfer tests there was nine thin-film resistancethermometerslocatedacrossthe length of the inner and acrossthe outer surfaces.There were also 18 thin-film thermometersdistributed acrossthe rotor disc surraccs. The accuracyin the absolutetemperaturemeasurements was 0.0 1K.

Ilic Aachen measurements obtained from the radial directed heat flow tests showed that changing the inner radius to give I Ur,,, - 0.96 (Config. A) and to I I/rn- 0.63 (Conrig. 11)had only a small influence on the Nu number. At the higher Ila number the heat transrcr was reduced by 11% moving between configurations A and B. With the annulus divided into sections. by inserting radial separation walls, the influence or the Coriolis rorccs is reduced resulting in an increase in the heat transrcr. At the higher Ra number the heat transrcr was increased by 20% moving between conrigurations B and C. Insertion orthe separation walls attenuates the rclitivc circumrcrcntial vclocity inside the cavity, resulting in a decrease of the radial component of the Coriolis force. Coriolis forces have a damping crfect on the flow, thus by attenuating the Coriolis forces flow 70

Kim et al ( 1993]and Long et al (1994,2003] have reportedexperimentalresultsfor axial throughflow configurations.In the rangeof throughflow ratescovered,Long et al found little sensitivity of shroudheat transferto throughflow rate, and the Nusseltnumberdependency looks closer to a Ra'13 dependency than to 21 1 Bohn et al's Rao Kim et al's shroudNusseltnumbersat high throughflow rate also . dependency. is but at low flow ratesthe Rayleigh numberdependency appearto vary approximatelyas Ra'13, increases, throughflow weaker.Thus, it appears that the Ra dependency as rate perhaps strengthens dependency tendingto a Ra'13 at high flow rates.It is conjecturedthat at the high throughflow rates, the turbulenceassociated the heattransferacrossthe centralcore with axial throughflow strengthens region.The overall level of heat transfermight thenprincipally dependon the boundarylayer on the 1/3 by analogywith convectionunder for dependency Ra outer cylinder, which a might be expected gravity.

The experimental now briefly repeated of an adjustable consisted apparatus lengthflow channel depths. The 63.5mm, channel was anda rectangular adjustable with cavity (2.5") wide andhadan aspect now. The 2D 10, cavity width was substantially a ratio of ensuring fixed at 63.5mm(2.5") and its depthwasvariedup to I 14.3mm (4.5"). The freestreamair velocity

The boundarylayer thickness was estimated of the cavity could be increased was found to be turbulent.Static up to 25.4mm(I") and,by observation, The staticpressure pressures were measured along the cavity walls by meansof a micromanometer. was also measured acrossthe shearlayer by a probeheld normally to the cross-flowdirection. Temporal-mean by meansof a constant-current velocity and turbulent intensitiesweremeasured hot-wire anemometer. A variable-positiontraverse was derived for moving the hot-wire mechanism probe longitudinally, parallel to the meanflow, andtransversely acrossthe mixing region. The hotthe distributionsof the time-meanlongitudinal wire probemeasurements were usedto determine velocity, turbulenceintensity,and turbulentshearstress acrossthe mixing region.For the flowvisualizationstudiesa secondexperimental wasused.This rig was rig with the samedimensions to flow of water approximatelysimulatingthe dynamicconditionsin termsof flow subjected Reynoldsnumberand relative boundary-layer thickness.

A 2D quadrilateral meshwasusedwith the mesh expanding away from both the inner wall andalsoaway from the threewalls within the rectangular in (=pu, y, distance testcavity. The non-dimensional the cavity values yp) parameter; nearwall were lessthan 1. This meshhasa total of 22,800cells,with 9,600of thesecells locatedin the cavity section.
As in the experiment, the test cavity width, s, of 63.5mm was held constant for all the numerical simulations whilst the test cavity depth, h, was altered to give various IN geometry ratios. The various test cavity depth to width ratios chosen for the simulations were 1.0,1.5,2.0 and 3.0. For the purpose of creating a boundary layer upstream of the cavity and also to eliminate any end effects which may have had an influence on the CFD solution in the area of the cavity, the dimension of flow channel external to the test cavity was chosen to be 250mm in height and 635mm in length upstream and downstream of the test cavity which is 10 x s, the test cavity width. The inner wall of the external flow channel and the three walls of the test cavity were set as adiabatic, no-slip boundaries. The velocities were specified at the inlet with a constant axial velocity of 30.48 m/s, with a total temperature of 300 K. Static pressurewas specified as 101.32 kPa at the

The standardk-c model and the 2-laycr k-c /W nearwall turbulencemodelswcrc used.To alter the boundary-laycrthicknessupstreamof the test cavity the turbulenceintensity specified at the inlet boundarycondition was varied between 1% and 10%.The resulting relative boundary-laycrthickness(81s)rangewas 0.25 to 0.5 which corresponds with boundary-laycrthicknessesfrom the I laugcn and Dhanakexperiments. As in Chapter3, the methodchosenfor discrctizationof the scalarand momentumequationswas the sccond-orderupwind scheme.A secondorder schemewas usedfor the pressureinterpolation and for the pressurc-vclocitycoupling (prcssurc-corrcction) the SIMPLE algorithm was used.

For the simulationsusing air as the working fluid, resultsobtainedfrom the analysisof tile I I/s 1.5geometrywith a relative boundary-laycrthickncssof 0.25 have beenrcporied and compared with the equivalentcxpcrimcntal results.The bestcxperimcntalresults in termsor the measurement quality were obtainedfor this case.

Coordinatey is positive in the direction out of the test cavity into the main crossflow, Whilsta negativey value gives the distanceinto the test cavity. 71ic CFD resultsarc shown alongsidethe experimentaltest results.The velocity plot showsthat the CFD profilc out or [fie cavity in to the main cross flow does not quite replicatethe boundary-laycrthicknessin the experiment(M-0.25 CFD, -0.3 Test) but the I lowcvcr, inside the test cavity the vclocity proriles indicateth3t,the CFD profilc is reasonable. that the k-c A. model undcr-prcdictsthe strcngth of the circulating flow within the cavity.

This is again an indication that the CFD k-c/k. 1turbulencemodel under predictsthe strengthof the circulating flow within the cavity and the shcarstrengthof the cross flow on the circulating flow with in the cavity.
Figure 5.5 shows tile computed flow streamlines within the test cavity. A circulation mass flow per unit depth (perpendicular to the flow plane) orO. 162 kg/sm is generated by the shcaring of die cross flow in the main channel. It is interesting to note that only one circulation is generated within the cavity. For whichever cavity dcpth was chosen, CFD predicted only one circulation. For cavities with an I Us up to 1.5. test measurement of pressure on the cavity walls indicate that only one circulation is fornicd. I lowcvcr, tile CFD results conflict with experimental evidence. I laugcn and Dhanak also carried out flow visualisation experiments using water as the working fluid. Various cavity depths were tested in the I I/s - 1.0 - 3.0 range. The test conditions approximately simulated the dynamic conditions of the experiments with air in terms of flow Reynolds number and the relative boundary-laycr thickness (m). Figure 5.6 shows the results from the water tests in tile form or nowvisualization flow pattern pictures. The flow pattcrns portrayed show that as cavity dcpth is

5.5 Conclusions
In this chapter the results from the CFD simulations of experiments pcrrormCd by I laugcn and Dhanak, investigating the interaction orcross-flow over a rectangular cavity will) tile flow in tile cavity have been presented. The numerical results have been compared to the velocity and pressure measurements for the experiments with air and flow visualisation ror tile tests with water.
Theconclusions thatcanbedrawnfrom this work are: Theturbulent k-c/ W 2-layermodelundcr-prcdicts thestrength of thecirculatingflow within the cavity. TheCFDmodeldoesnot predictcorrectlytheshear forceof thecross-flow the andhence between transfer momentum thecross-flow andtheflow within die cavityis incorrect.
CFD predictedpressures but pressures, along the cavity walls follow the trend orthe test measured under predict the strengthof the effects, especiallynearthe test cavity downstreamcomer (y/s - 0).
ror cavity depths up to 3 times the cavity width the CFD predicts only one circulation. For cavities with I I/s up to 1.5. the pressure measurements on the cavity walk indicate that only one circulation is formed. I lowcvcr the experiments with water show that more th3n one circulation is formed for cavity depths, with I I/s greater than 1.5, whilst CFD predicts only one circulation for all depths. 77he reason why more than one circulation (with water) can cxist and why the CFD analyses rail to simulate this still need to be fully explained, but could lie in the turbulence modelling.
The experimentalresultsarc limited but little other research work hasbeenreportedin the areaof CFD may be usedto model flows for this type or engineapplications.With somereservations application and as an initial s1cp will be applied,with caution, to the presentproblem orcomprcssor inicr-disc cavities with axial througliflow.

Build I of tile SussexMultiple Cavity Rig (MCRB I) was used to investigate tile flow and beat transfcrmcchanisms in the I IPC drive cone cavity at the rcarorthe II PC (Alexiou 2000. ICAS-GT 2001, Alcxiou 2002]. The inner drive shaft (rcprcscnting the intermcdiate prcssurc,IP drive shaft) was able to co-rotatc or contra-rotateand contained holes for turbine disc borc and disc rear face conditioning air. From the MCRB I researchat Sussexa licat transrer correlation for the inner surfaceof the I IPC drive cone has beenderived. This 'CONE' beat transfcr corrclation has now beencoded into tile Rolls-Royce internal thcrmal analysis computcr program, SC03 [Barnes 2002, Collcy 2001).

Averaging over time, it is expectedthat the flow variableswill not vary with z or (Din the natural cylindrical co-ordinatc system(rOz). It is also that the flow can be treatedas a perturbation of solid body rotation (v. - f1r). From analogy with

Equations7.23 and 7.24 were coded into the UDF to calculate tile local near wall factors,f. andf, along the outer and inner walls. The meannear wall factorfwas calculated rrom the local factors along the outer and inner walls. The core factor, K was assumedto have a rlxcd value or4300. A seriesof CFD calculations were then performed for various inner and outer walls, and sidcwall layer thicknesses. The CFD calculatedheat transfer was comparedto Bolin ct al.'s experimental datato obtain the 'best' CFD model. The best CFD results were obtained with the inner and outer wall constantboundary layer thicknessset at 0.002m and thicknessesof 0.005m for the sidCwalls. In this CFD model the fluid propertieswere only modified in the inner and outer wall boundary cells and no near wall, f factor was applied to the sidcwalls allowing conventional CFD calculations to be applied in the 0.005m boundary layer regions on the sidewalls. The functions (I -cos[x/2*d,, /n) and (1-cos[x/2*d/n) were used to derine the increasein tile fluid propertiesof thermal conductivity and viscosity moving away from eachwall. The increasein fluid propertiesover the near wall boundarylayer thickness,I was set equal to 10%of the cavity width (0.12m), I-0.0 12m.

The computations were pcrf*()nned assuming steady flow and the rcsults have been compared with the engine test measurements for metal temperatures. I'lic simulations were performed on the three rear compressor disc stages that formed three interconnecting inter-disc cavities, which was also linked to the I IP comprcs.m)r drive shatl cone cavity.

To achieve a closer match, increasein the mixing within the cavities will be required but for this to happen, further work will be rcquircd to rcsolvc the stability problems. Finally, adjusting the heat transfer on the disc surfacesusing a similar method to that applied to the cavity shroudscould also be considered.

An evaluation of the use of CFD to simulate the flow and natural convection in a scaledcube has beenpresented[Kirkpatrick and Bohn, 1986].Two heating configurations were considered,both being heatedfrom the bottom surface.The computationswere pcrrormed assumingeither unsteady or steady flow for laminar or turbulent now models.A range of temperaturedifference between the hot and cold surfaces(I OK to 40K) were usedgiving a range of Rayleigh numbers,Ra - 5.83x 109 for to 2.33x 1010. The CFD results were comparedwith other worker's experimentalmeasurements hc3t transfer. flow patterns,and the meanand fluctuating temperaturedistribution. I'lic CFD simulations showed that the time-avcragcdhcat transfer computed by the unsteadylaminar flow model ("pscudo" DNS solution) was the most accurate.Calculated heat transrer results compared well with the experimental derived hcat transrcrcorrelation at low Rayleigh number (-3% error) with a small difference at the higher Rayleigh number(6% to 13% error).

Comparisonof the results obtained from both the CONE model and the 'bcst-matchcd'modcl with the datum model, showed that there was some merit in using the cone correlation on the disc surfaces.Overall, the cone correlation was shown to be cffcctive in the mid and outer regions of the disc diaphragm for the steady statenuximum condition, achieving better results than the datum model. I lowcvcr. using the cone correlation had a detrimental effect During transientsthe cone correlation on the disc cob and bore temperatures. Produceda disc temperatureresponsethat was close to the measuredresponsefor the inner and mid Pall of the disc diaphragm. But in the outer radial part of the disc die datum model produced a better thermal responsethan the model with the cone correlation. Inter-disc cavity shroud temperature Predictions were good for the datum model and for the model using the heat tmnsrcr Cquivalentto that derived at the SussexUTC [Long ct al. 2006b]. Stresses in the discs are driven by temperature gradient; so comparing the radial temperaturedifference produced by the thermal models to that measured,the datum model was shown to perform much better than the therrnal model with the cone correlation, both at the maximum speedsteadystatecondition and during the transient$.
