Abstract

In this paper a sliding interface technique is applied in conjunction with non-orthogonal grids and non-staggered arrangement techniques to solve the unsteady flow of rotor/stator interaction. This technique can overcome the weakness existing in mixing plane methods for computing the inherent periodic unsteadiness caused by the relative motion between moving/stationary blade rows. Phase-lagged cyclic boundary condition is implemented to accurately simulate the rotor/stator interaction with arbitrary pitch ratio. PISO method is used to deal with the coupling of velocity and pressure. An incompressible unsteady flow of infinite moving/stationary blade rows and the rotor/stator interaction of a turbine stage with arbitrary pitch ratio are respectively calculated with the present method. The results show that the developed sliding interface method is appropriate and effective for predicting unsteadiness of rotor/stator interaction in turbomachinery.
