Lectrue Title: Intelligent Maintenance for Aero-Engines: Embracing Interpretable Artificial Intelligence.

Lecture Summary/Abstract:

Ensuring intelligent maintenance with high efficiency and accuracy is critical for the safety and reliability of aero-engines. Deep learning-enabled artificial intelligence has made significant progress in fault diagnosis and remaining useful life prediction in this domain. However, the "black box" nature of deep learning models poses challenges in dealing with the complex service environment of aero-engines. To address this issue, this presentation introduces novel insights into intelligent maintenance for aero-engines, focusing on interpretable artificial intelligence within a physics-constrained framework. It provides an overview of artificial intelligence applications in aero-engine maintenance and discusses open challenges in the field. Subsequently, the presentation introduces an interpretable artificial intelligence framework, leveraging physics-informed data science. A case study is presented to demonstrate the application and advantages of interpretable artificial intelligence in aero-engine maintenance.

Lecture Title: Research on the Interaction between the Detonation Chamber and Axial Turbine in a Pulse Detonation Turbine Engine.

 

Lecture Summary/Abstract:

This lecture will introduce the research progress of the research group on the interaction between the detonation chamber and the axial turbine in a pulse detonation turbine engine. Firstly, a two-dimensional numerical model of a pulse detonation combustor with a GE-E3 two-stage high-pressure turbine was established, and the isentropic efficiency of the turbine driven by pulse detonation was studied in multiple cycles. The research shows that the strong unsteadiness of pulse detonation led to large flow losses in the first stage, but some of flow losses could be recycled by the second stage through the reheating effect. Secondly, the effects of detonation initial conditions on the performance of a PDC-turbine combined system was analyzed. The results indicated that the lean fuel conditions were the ideal equivalence ratio range for combined system operation due to the high thermal efficiency and obvious performance advantage over isobaric combustion. Finally, a three-dimensional numerical model of the GE-E3 two-stage high-pressure turbine was established. The results show that the interaction between the leading shock and the blade caused a significant change in attack angle as well as multiple local adverse pressure gradients, resulting in severe flow separation on the blade surface.

Leture Title: Collaborative Design of Future Cross-space and Cross-speed Domain Aviation Gas Turbine Engine.

  

Lecture Summary/Abstract: 

Facing the demand for advanced exploration of future "cross space, cross speed" aviation engines, we focus on multi component, multidisciplinary, and multi-dimensional collaborative simulation and design, establish a mapping relationship between multi-disciplinary and system top-level indicators, use top-level indicators to motivate multi-disciplinary exploration of inventory and traction increment, unlock the "overlooking perspective", avoid multi-disciplinary collision obstacles, and trigger "leading innovation" under multi-disciplinary collisions. The collaborative simulation and design platform runs through multiple "advanced exploration" scenarios such as the comparison and selection of the overall concept of the future aeroengine, the "horse race" of component schemes under the traction of the overall goal, and the flexible integration of cross phase component schemes. It leverages the reconstruction of Relations of production with the technological innovation of the collaborative platform, unleashes the leapfrog potential contained in the massive accumulation of multi-disciplinary, and supports the decentralized "unveiling and commanding" mechanism to drive future aviation engines to break through bottlenecks.

Leture Title: Dynamic Characteristics Analysis and Fault Diagnosis of Complex Systems Based on Nonlinear Mode Synthesis.

 

Lecture Summary/Abstract:

Nonlinear problem has always been an obstacle in dynamic analysis domain due to its complexity and high computational cost. This work aims to present a simple, accurate and efficient nonlinear modal analysis method which can be applied to some common nonlinear systems, including Duffing system, dry friction, nonlinear material and so on.The kernel technique of this numerical method lies in establishing the variation law of the nonlinear modal parameters in function of modal amplitude:on the one hand, the steady-state problem is simplified into one-dimensional algebraic nonlinear problem, resulting in a significant simplification in numerical computation; on the other hand, the analysis of nonlinear modal parameters in function of modal amplitude provides a modal overview for the comprehension of system’s nonlinear dynamic behavior.Following a description of the theoretical aspects and numerical simulation process of this method, it has been proven to be efficient in analyzing a Duffing system with real nonlinear mode, a dry friction system with complex nonlinear mode and a multi-physics system integrating piezoelectric material.Furthermore, nonlinear mode analysis is employed in the fault diagnosis of part looseness of rotor systems, as well as frequency drift phenomenon and random feature in the narrow frequency band  of a high-pressure turbine blade with edge plate damper. A reduction method based on the proposed strategy is then presented, which is simple in mathematical form and efficient in numerical computations for analyzing large complex nonlinear systems. It has significant advantages in computational efficiency when combined with the mode synthesis method to solve the dynamic behavior of large complex nonlinear systems.

Keywords: nonlinear modal analysis; mode synthesis; fault diagnosis; part looseness of rotor system; frequency drift phenomenon of high-pressure turbine blade.

Leture Title: The Design of the Welded Rotor in the Future Heavy Duty Gas Turbine Based on Multiple Physical Field Coupling Method.

 

Lecture Abstract:

Based on the research results of a significant project, the overall layout scheme for the next-generation heavy-duty gas turbine in China includes welded rotor connections, three-axis distribution, and hot-end output. The main advantage of using welded rotors is their design flexibility, compact structure, and ease of forging. Additionally, they can meet the requirements of large-diameter rotors for low-pressure compressors, low-pressure turbines, and power turbines. However, welded rotors also present challenges in terms of excessive thermal stresses under variable loads, significant transient deformation, and susceptibility to cracking, posing a significant challenge to rotor structural strength design.

The project team, employing a multi-physics coupling approach, studied the flow characteristics inside the rotor cavity and the heat transfer characteristics between the cavity flow and the welded rotor. By predicting the aerodynamic, thermal, and centrifugal loads, the stresses and deformations of the three welded rotor were obtained. Furthermore, structural and geometric synergistic optimization of the welded rotor was carried out. Based on the results of the multi-physics coupling simulation, reductions of not less than 18% (10% being the targeted value) in maximum equivalent stress were obtained, as shown in Fig. 1. As a result, a preliminary conceptual design for the three welded rotors have been developed.

  Lecture Title: Development of a Micro-Mix H2-O2-H2O Combustion System for Gas Turbine Applications.

Lecture Summary/Abstract:

Semi-closed hydrogen-oxygen combustion cycle is a promising gas turbine cycle due to its high cycle efficiency and zero emission. However, there are some challenges needed to solve. The work is an attempt to realize stable, safe and high-efficiency combustion of H2-O2-H2O challenged by flashback, short autoignition period and uncomplete burning under stoichiometric condition. Micro-mix combustion technology was used to minimize the possibility of flashback and autoignition attributed to increased velocity, vanished recirculation and shortened mixing length.

Firstly, the combustion characteristics of the single-jet flames of premixed H2-O2-H2O were studied. The limits of ignition, flashback and extinction were determined experimentally. The influence of dilution ratio, equivalent ratio, nozzle diameter and temperature on flashback, ignition and extinction were analyzed. An empirical model has been created to predict the flashback velocity. The relationship of the combustion efficiency with dilution ratio, equivalent ratio, residence time, mixing quality of reactants and stage strategies was studied numerically.

Sequential mixing of H2-O2-H2O was selected as a result of analyzing two different methods of oxygen introduction. The influence of nozzle geometry parameters on the mixing speed and quality was investigated and the mixing mechanism related to vortex formation was analyzed. The combustion characteristics of an elementary micro-mix burner, which was a basic element of nozzle arrays of combustion chamber, were investigated experimentally and numerically. The effects of velocity at nozzle exit, dilution ratio and distance between nozzles were taken into account.

A model combustion chamber of H2-O2-H2O was designed based on the obtained data and results. The effect of cooling flow rate and cooling hole geometry on flame stability and combustion efficiency was studied and analyzed. Finally, the performance of the model combustion chamber was estimated numerically.
