Abstract
Based on the unsteady numerical simulation method, the dual-hole oscillating jet was generated by the unique structure of the fluid oscillator, and its control mechanism to inhibit the compressor cascade corner separation at a high incidence angle was investigated. The effects of jet position, jet angle, jet flow rate, and single/array jet configurations on the control effect were carefully analyzed. The results indicate that for the single-jet configuration applied to the proximal endwall, the optimal jet position is located where the corner separation is not fully developed (54% blade axial chord length). The optimal jet angle and jet flow ratio are determined to be 10° and 0.09%, respectively, resulting in a reduction of 6.48% in the total pressure loss coefficient and an increase of 2.39% in the static pressure rise coefficient. The oscillating jet effectively inhibits boundary layer development by injecting high flow momentum into the low-energy fluid within the boundary layer. Furthermore, the unsteady excitation of the oscillating jet breaks down the large-scale separation vortices on the suction surface into a series of small-scale vortices, and the frequency-locking effect reduces trailing edge pressure pulsation amplitude, ultimately leading to reduced loss. Compared to the single-jet configuration, the array-type jet configuration applies oscillating jet flow across the entire blade height, and the aerodynamic performance gain has doubled through inputting five times flow rate.
