Numerical investigation on the wall roughness of a supercritical carbon dioxide axial turbine
A comparative analysis between simulation and test with roughness is carried out for a supercritical carbon dioxide(S-CO_2) axial turbine with different operating conditions
focusing on the roughness impact of the turbine performance. The results show that the numerical calculation method of wall roughness is able to assess the performance of the turbine at different load conditions accurately. Compared with test result
the maximum efficiency error is 1.82 percentage point. Wall roughness degrades the overall performance of the turbine
with a maximum efficiency drop of 2.8 percentage point at Ra1.6 roughness level during the five working condition
and the turbine stage roughness has a more obvious effect on the turbine performance. In addition
the more severe of wall roughness
the greater reduction of turbine efficiency. In non-design operating conditions
the efficiency drops by 11.6 percentage point at Ra6.3 roughness level. The wall roughness exacerbates flow separation of pressure surface
causing greater friction losses and serious affecting of turbine performance. The research can provide technical support for the design and performance simulation of S-CO_2 axial turbines.
