Abstract
In aero-engines, a secondary air system is used to cool the rotor discs and seal cavities between rotor and stator parts. The pressure loss caused by bleed air can be effectively reduced by setting the finned vortex reducer. Thus, the bleed system design can be optimized by researching the flow structure and pressure loss of each section in the cavity with a finned vortex reducer. In this study, the influence of different installation positions of a finned vortex reducer on the pressure loss characteristics was investigated through experimental and numerical simulation methods, focusing on the radial inflow of the secondary air system. The results indicate that the inlet and outlet positions of the fins affect the flow structure in the cavity. The aerodynamic parameters (rotational Reynolds number ReΦ and mass flow rate coefficient Cw), together with the inlet and outlet radii of the fins, influence the pressure loss in the cavity. Considering the swirl ratio β constrained by the fins, a pressure loss model was established, which showed good agreement with the experimentally measured pressure loss. This model reflects the impact of the inlet and outlet positions of the fins on the pressure loss characteristics.
