A computational fluid dynamics/bulk-flow hybrid method for determining rotordynamic coefficients of annular gas seals / Patrick J. Migliorini in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of tribology, Vol. 134 N° 2 (Avril 2012)

Note générale : tribology Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : annular  seals;  CFD;  bulk-flow  analysis;  rotordynamic  characteristics;  hole-pattern  seal Index. décimale : 621.5 Energie pneumatique. Machinerie et outils. Réfrigération Résumé : This paper presents a new computational fluid dynamics (CFD)/bulk-flow hybrid method to determine the rotordynamic characteristics of annular gas seals. The method utilizes CFD analysis to evaluate the unperturbed base state flow, an averaging method to determine the base state bulk-flow variables, and a bulk-flow perturbation method to solve for the fluid forces acting on an eccentric, whirling rotor. In this study the hybrid method is applied to a hole-pattern seal geometry and compared with experimental data and numerical and analytical methods. The results of this study show that the dynamic coefficients predicted by the hybrid method agree well with the experimental data, producing results that are comparable with a full, three-dimensional, transient, whirling rotor CFD method. Additionally, the leakage rate predicted by the hybrid method is more agreeable with experiment than the other methods. The benefit of the present method is the ability to calculate accurate rotordynamic characteristics of annular seals that are comparable to results produced by full, transient CFD analyses with a simulation time on the order of bulk-flow analyses.

Constrained design optimization of rotor-tilting pad bearing systems / Costin D. Untaroiu in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of engineering for gas turbines and power, Vol. 132 N° 12 (Décembre 2010)

Note générale : Génie Mécanique Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Design  engineering  Finite  element  analysis  Genetic  algorithms  Machine  bearings  Particle  swarm  optimisation  Rotors Index. décimale : 620.1 Essais des matériaux. Défauts des matériaux. Protection des matériaux Résumé : Design of a rotor-bearing system is a challenging task due to various conflicting design requirements, which should be fulfilled. This study considers an automatic optimization approach for the design of a rotor supported on tilting-pad bearings. A numerical example of a rotor-bearing system is employed to demonstrate the merits of the proposed design approach. The finite element method is used to model the rotor-bearing system, and the dynamic speed-dependent coefficients of the bearing are calculated using a bulk flow code. A number of geometrical characteristics of the rotor simultaneously with the parameters defining the configuration of tilting pad bearings are considered as design variables into the automatic optimization process. The power loss in bearings, stability criteria, and unbalance responses are defined as a set of objective functions and constraints. The complex design optimization problem is solved using heuristic optimization algorithms, such as genetic, and particle-swarm optimization. Whereas both algorithms found better design solutions than the initial design, the genetic algorithms exhibited the fastest convergence. A statistical approach was used to identify the influence of the design variables on the objective function and constraint measures. The bearing clearances, preloads and lengths showed to have the highest influence on the power loss in the chosen design space. The high performance of the best solution obtained in the optimization design suggests that the proposed approach has good potential for improving design of rotor-bearing systems encountered in industrial applications.
