Has anybody simulated GE frame 9 Compressor? I had simulated this 17th stages compressor with the CFX; when I used a coarse mesh with y+=30 and k-w turbulence model, there is no problem in convergence and everything in CFD-POST is fine. But when it comes to simulating with a fine mesh, y+=1 and SST turbulence model; Inlet mass decreases and post-process show a big region of flow separation near the leading edge close to the hub. Can anybody give me any tips?

Typically, certain flow effects are not captured on coarse mesh. They are smeared over the cell volume. Separation at the hub is a problem. Try to eliminate/isolate the problem and simulate the stage with different boundary conditions (reduce discharge pressure, or mass for example). See if the separation is still present.
Frankly, I do not have experience with that particular frame. CFDpal |
