SIEMENS, MUELHEIM 2 2 Work performed  Numerical investigation of a cold flow within plenum and combustor chamber and reacting flow within combustion chamber with the use of commercial CFX code  Reacting flow calculations by using computational code developed at the University of Twente (CFI)  Design more flexible liner for better fluid-structure interaction (structural Ansys code)  One-way fluid-structure interaction from fluid to structure with the use of CFX and Ansys (static and dynamic analysis)  Two-way fluid-structure interaction  Backward Facing Step with heat transfer  Participations in DESIRE fire experiment

SIEMENS, MUELHEIM 3 3 Flexible liner  The most dangerous frequencies occur in real gas turbines are below 500 Hz  Present test rig has first eigenfrequency around 200 Hz and low vibration amplitude  To improve response walls on changes in pressure field inside combustion chamber new model of liner with first eigenfrequency below 100 Hz and elevated vibration amplitude was design  To obtain prescribed eigenfrequency several models of liner with different in shape, thickness, length of flexible section was investigated Fig. 1.

SIEMENS, MUELHEIM 6 6 One – way interaction Fig.6. Implementing results from CFX to Ansys One – way interaction is a sequential process of the fluid and the solid physics coupling. The surface pressure and the shear from the flow in the combustion chamber were computed by using CFX CFD simulation. The normal and tangential components of mechanical load are later transferred to the mechanical analysis in the Ansys code. The stress and deformation of the flexible walls are predicted.

Numerical results of the total deformation and the reduced stress pattern in the case of static analysis in structural code Numerical calculations was done for two different cases:  transient calculations in CFX and static in Ansys – pressure field exported from CFX to Ansys  transient calculations in CFX and dynamic in Ansys – pressure field exported from CFX to Ansys

SIEMENS, MUELHEIM 19 Conclusions  The shape, temperature, and the liner flexible section thickness and length have a major influence on the walls eigenfrequency, minor influence air cavities was observed  Model of the liner with 680 mm length and 0,8 mm thickness appears to be the appropriate one for cases of the FLUISTCOM Project  One-way interaction gives only insight into real system behavior when both analyses are transient.  Two-way interaction shows significant distribution in pressure pattern as a case of vibrating walls  Both, one- and two-way interactions, predicted similar wall deformation and stress  BFS with heat transfer is matched well with experimental results, especially SST turbulence model.  Significant influence of pulsation frequency on flow pattern was noticed

SIEMENS, MUELHEIM 20 Future work  Further numerical investigation of one – way interaction from vibrating wall to fluid inside combustion chamber  Flame transfer function analysis  Experimental work at test rig
