NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF THE VELOCITY COEFFICIENT OF THE NOZZLE DIAPHRAGM OF A LOW-CONSUMPTION TURBINE

The subject of the research is modern marine turbomachines which differ in many types, designs, purposes, materials and working bodies. It is noted that this diversity is guaranteed by the use of modern computer technologies from the stage of preliminary preparation of production to the release of final products. The design stage of turbine units taking into account the external characteristics of the turbine stage - power, speed, efficiency, shaft torque and others is considered. The efficiency of the stage is expressed by the efficiency coefficient, which is determined by the energy losses available in the stage. Losses, in turn, are expressed by losses in each individual element of the turbine stage design. At the same time, it is noted that the losses in the nozzle apparatus are decomposed into friction losses, edge and end losses. The object of the study is the nozzle apparatus of a low-consumption inflow turbine. The subject of the study is the velocity coefficient of the nozzle apparatus of a low-consumption inflow turbine. The research method is numerical simulation of gas flow using computational gas dynamics. The purpose of the study is to compare the value of the speed coefficient of the nozzle apparatus obtained during a physical experiment with the results of numerical modeling of the nozzle apparatus with subsonic (narrowing) channels. The conducted studies have shown that low-consumption inflow turbines are characterized by small sizes that do not allow us to fully carry out a physical experiment. A graph of the dependence of the velocity coefficient of the nozzle apparatus on the Mach number is provided in the study. A good convergence of the values of the velocity coefficient of the nozzle apparatus obtained by the numerical method with the results of the physical experiment has been established. The velocity fields of the flow part of the nozzle apparatus are obtained in the range of the Mach number ranging from 0.66 to 0.88. The possibility of using numerical modeling for this type of nozzle apparatus is concluded.
