Abstract
In a multilevel design approach, several numerical leakage flow models are required to optimize an impulse stage. These are flows through labyrinth seals of diaphragm glands, over blade shrouds, and in chambers of discs with balance holes. Results of the main flow calculations are the boundary conditions for calculating the leakage path, and vice versa. The numerical models were built and computed using the commercial CFD solver FLUENT 5. Computational results are compared to experimental data obtained on air-powered model steam turbine stages with either radial-twisted or leaned-twisted guide vanes. The flow coefficients for the flow model through the double-strip and step type labyrinth seals were validated with results obtained in a plane wind tunnel. The numerical models determine the leakage mass flow and friction losses with reasonable accuracy. The presented experimental data show the importance of calculating the leakage flows for the prediction of turbine stage efficiency with differently leaned guide vanes.
