Abstract

The present work numerically investigates the influences that four defects in the hot gas path of a civil aircraft engine have on the density distribution of the exhaust jet. The defects detectability with tomographic measurements using the Background-oriented schlieren method (BOS) is evaluated in order to draw conclusions on the condition of the engine before disassembly. The modeled defects are: The variation of the radial gap between the rotor blade tip and the casing in the second stage of a high-pressure turbine (HPT), the burning of the trailing edge of the stator vanes and rotor blades of the second stage of the HPT, the variation of the cooling air mass flow in the first stage of the HPT, and the variation of the temperature at the outlet of the combustion chamber. Synthetic measurements show that a characteristic signature at the outer border of the core mass flow in the exhaust jet can be measured with BOS when the radial gap is varied. However, the burning of the trailing edges cannot be detected. The variation of the cooling air massflow affects the entire density distribution and can be measured with BOS. Defects of the burner nozzles affect a larger local area of the exhaust jet and thus can also clearly be identified with BOS. The results show that different defects in the hot gas path result in characteristic signatures in the density distribution of the exhaust jet and that they can be measured with BOS. It is thus possible to detect defects in the hot gas path with BOS before the disassembly of the engine.
