Influence of geometric, kinematic, gas-dynamic parameters on rotor dynamic state taking into account gas dynamic flow in labyrinth seals clearances

The present work details a new approach to the study of GTU rotor vibrations, based on the solution of a related dynamic problem for the «gas - dynamic flow - deformable structure» system. The modern tendency to increase an aggregates power with a simultaneous decrease stiffness results in new phenomenons that affected a rotor vibration state. The compressor rotor model with a labyrinth seal is considered. ANSYS software product is used. The calculations were carried out on a high-performance computer complex PNRPU. The performed calculations showed a qualitative and quantitative effect of a gas-dynamic gap on the rotor dynamics. A 2FSI calculations series was performed to study the influence of geometric, kinematic and gas-dynamic parameters on the rotor dynamic state. A pressure fluctuations spectral analysis in the gas-dynamic gap and displacements has been carried out. The obtained spectrograms processing it possible to plot amplitudes and frequencies dependences of resonant pressure oscillations over an initial pressure in the gas-dynamic gap. It was found that the initial pressure in a gas-dynamic gap has the greatest influence. A rotor and gas oscillations resonant frequency was found, which corresponds to a change in the shaft axis spatial position. The «gas - structure» system resonant frequencies were obtained for models differing in mass and stiffness. A decrease in an elasticity modulus of the structure led to a decrease in the maximum pressure fluctuations amplitude, while a decrease in mass led to its increase. For the base model and the model with lower rigidity, the resonant pressure oscillations frequency depends on the initial pressure value according to a law close to linear, while for the model with a lower mass, the dependence has a pronounced non-linear character.
