Abstract:

A three-dimensional fluid-solid coupling calculation model of long blade of steam turbine was established based on the aerodynamic and structural vibration simulation platform. Taking the second last stage blade of a foreign 60Hz steam turbine unit as an example, the aerodynamic characteristics of the flow field in the single flow channel and the vibration characteristics of the entire blade structure field were analyzed. Combined with the energy method criterion, a method for predicting and evaluating the flutter of the steam turbine long blade was further proposed. The results show that the unit flow rate and the vibration form of blade pitch diameter have a great influence on the blade flutter characteristics. For the current 2nd last stage blade, the probability of blade flutter induced by pressure fluctuation in the flow field is between 80% and 90% under 40% flow condition. Therefore, this kind of blade should be carefully used under the low flow condition. Based on the unidirectional liquid-solid coupling method, the periodic work under fluctuating pressure in flow field can be analyzed effectively and relatively quickly, and the aerodynamic damping coefficient under modal vibration of blade can be obtained. Thus, the flutter characteristics of blade can be predicted.
