Background
Gas turbine engines are thermodynamic devices based on the brayton cycle, which have been widely used in modern military and industrial applications by virtue of their powerful output power and high thermal efficiency. Experience shows that under the premise that the size of an engine is not changed, the thrust of a gas turbine can be increased by 8-13% and the cycle efficiency can be increased by 2-4% when the temperature of the inlet of the turbine is increased by 56K. The turbine front temperature of the advanced aeroengine exceeds 2000K at present, and the temperature resistance limit of the turbine blade material is far less than the inlet temperature of the turbine, so that an efficient cooling technology must be adopted to ensure the normal operation of the turbine blade material. The front edge of the turbine blade is directly impacted by high-temperature high-speed main flow and is a region with the highest convective heat transfer strength of the blade. Therefore, the leading edge region is a difficult and difficult region for cooling design on the turbine blade, and an efficient cooling technology is very important for reducing the temperature of the leading edge and ensuring the normal operation of the turbine blade.
Film cooling is one of the important cooling methods for the leading edge of a turbine blade. The film cooling is realized by opening discrete holes on the surface of the turbine blade and leading the cooling working medium out of the interior of the turbine blade to the outer wall surface. Under the action of the main flow, the cooling working medium is pressed on the surface of the blade to form an air film, so that the wall surface is separated from the high-temperature main flow fuel gas, and meanwhile, the heat of the wall surface is taken away.
The turbine blade leading edge surface is generally the curved surface, and the curvature change is great, therefore the turbine blade surface in the image is taken for the curved surface for the experiment, and camera shooting still can have the picture distortion simultaneously, consequently in the data processing link after the experiment, need become the rectangle plane with the curved surface flattening in the image, conveniently carry out subsequent data analysis.
At present, a mature image flattening processing method is available around the leading edge experiment of the turbine blade under a static condition. The test will typically use both reference and test blades. The method comprises the steps that grid paper (a plurality of straight lines are drawn on the surface of the grid paper to form uniformly distributed rectangular grids) is closely attached to the surface of a reference blade, a camera is used for obtaining an image of the surface of the reference blade, an image processing program firstly converts pixel points of the image of the surface of the blade into orthogonal coordinate points, the pixel points where the grid nodes are located also are included, under the condition that the geometric relation of the rectangular grids in a planar state is known, the grid distorted in the image can be re-flattened into the rectangular grids by moving the pixel points, and finally displacement information of each pixel point in an orthogonal coordinate system in the grid flattening process is recorded. The geometric structures of the experimental blade and the reference blade are completely consistent, the surface of the experimental blade is not provided with the mesh paper, and under the condition that the positions of the camera and the blade are the same (namely, the position of the blade in the shot image is unchanged), the curved blade surface image can be directly converted into the flattened blade surface image through a program under the condition that the displacement information of the pixel points of the image flattening is known. As can be seen from the above described process, this method is only applicable to cases where the blade is stationary in the camera field of view, where a flattening program written from a grid of reference blades has reference value to the experimental blade.
At present, the research around air film cooling at home and abroad mainly focuses on the development of static flat plates and static cascade wind tunnels. Film cooling studies taking into account the spinning effect and performed in a spinning state are few, which are mainly limited by experimental conditions and testing techniques. In the rotation experiment, in order not to destroy the flow field structure of the turbine, an image of the surface of the rotating blade is generally obtained from the outside of the turbine by using a lock-up shooting technology. The lock is to the shooting technique and utilize the light sensing element who fixes at rotatory end and static end promptly for the fixed position of every rotation week can stimulate out signal pulse, and control camera shoots, and then when guaranteeing camera shooting at every turn, the fixed position of target experiment blade all can appear in the camera visual field. However, this method of capturing is affected by light sensing errors and delays in signal excitation and transmission, which can cause the captured blade surface image to swing within a certain range in the camera field of view. Therefore, if a method such as a method for flattening a mesh paper image in a static cascade experiment is adopted, the experimental image cannot be superposed with the reference image, and an experimental image flattening program cannot be compiled by using pixel point displacement information obtained by the reference blade. Based on this, image flattening processing needs to be performed on each blade surface image shot under a rotating condition, and therefore, a new method needs to be researched, so that a program can be ensured to recognize and flatten each image.
In summary, how to design a method for flattening the surface image of the front edge of the straight blade of the turbine under the rotation condition, and the method has the characteristics of simple operation and good repeatability of multiple photos, is a problem to be solved in the art.
