Unsteady Simulation of a Transonic Turbine Stage with Focus on Turbulence Prediction

Wolfgang Sanz and David Scheier    

Resumen

The flow in a transonic turbine stage still poses a high challenge for the correct prediction of turbulence using an eddy viscosity model. Therefore, an unsteady RANS simulation with the k-? SST model, based on a preceding study of turbulence inlet conditions, was performed to see if this can improve the quality of the flow and turbulence prediction of an experimentally investigated turbine flow. Unsteady Q3D results showed that none of the different turbulence boundary conditions could predict the free-stream turbulence level and the maximum values correctly. Luckily, the influence of the boundary conditions on the velocity field proved to be small. The qualitative prediction of the complex secondary flows is good, but there is lacking agreement in the prediction of turbulence generation and destruction.
