Numerical study on the three-dimensional flow of water film on the outer surface of the hollow stationary blade

In order to figure out the influence of water film on the performance of the turbomachinery, understand the mechanism of the interaction between the high-speed airflow and the water film in turbomachinery, and provide a reference for the design of the subsequent experiments and hollow stationary blade water removal by heating. The commercial software FLUENT with the Eulerian Wall Films model is used to establish a solution method for simulating the flow of water film on the blade. The accuracy of the solution method is verified by comparing it with the results of the water film thickness experiment on the surface of the plate. The distribution of the water film on the outer surface of the vane as well as the influence of the water film on the mainstream field are numerically studied in the condition of the wet steam mainstream. The results show that the gradient of water film thickness on the pressure surface is relatively gentle and is along the radial direction. The gradient of water film thickness on the suction side is along the axial direction, and the value is larger; There is a V-shaped water film agglomeration area on the suction surface near the trailing edge where the water film thickness is greater than 45.7 mu m; The top areas on both the suction side and pressure side produce a local water film agglomeration area with the dual effect of the secondary flow and the centrifugal force of the mainstream; The water film flow on the blade surface has little influence of the steam velocity and the speed of the mainstream. The increase of local pressure on the surface leads to an increase in the pressure of the adjacent mainstream areas.
