Abstract:To investigate the deformation law of the straight 2-D nozzle with a superelliptic exit cross-section and the key aspects of overall performance design matching between a low-bypass turbofan engine and such nozzle in engineering development, a computational study on the influence of nozzle deformation on engine performance was conducted. Through deformation simulation analysis of the straight 2-D nozzle and measurement of its exit deformation across the full engine speed range during rig testing, the correctness of the deformation characteristic law of the superelliptic straight 2-D nozzle within the operational envelope derived from simulation was validated. The deformation law of the nozzle exit was obtained by fitting the turbine exit temperature and ambient pressure which were strongly correlated with the straight 2-D nozzle. Based on this deformation law, steady-state performance simulation with small deviations was carried out, the steady-state performance model was corrected, and full envelope and ground rig tests were conducted for verification. The results show that the calculated maximum state high-altitude calibrated thrust is 0.9% lower than the experimental value, the calculated maximum state thrust at cruising altitude is 3.72% lower than the experimental value, and the calculated fuel consumption rate at cruising state is 1.6% lower than the experimental value. The computational model exhibits good agreement with the experimental results, and the optimized engine demonstrates satisfactory performance consistency, meeting all design requirements. The findings of this study can provide a refer? ence for the performance matching design of the engine with non axisymmetric nozzles in subsequent research.
