Clearance flow-generated transverse forces at the rotors of thermal turbomachines
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5786709
Self-excited rotor whirl represents a serious hazard in the operation of turbomachines. The reported investigation has, therefore, the objective to measure the lateral forces acting on the rotor and to determine the characteristic pressure distribution in the rotor clearance area. A description is presented of an approach for calculating the leakage flow in the case of an eccentric rotor position on the basis of empirical loss coefficients. The results are reported of an experimental investigation with a turbine stage, taking into account a variation of the clearance characteristics. The pressure data measured are consistent with the theoretical considerations. G.R. (IAA)
