摘要:
A gas turbine engine propulsion system and method of assembling such is disclosed. The gas turbine engine propulsion system comprises a gas turbine engine that includes a fan flow path. The fan flow path may extend from the fan inlet to the rear exhaust outlet of the bypass flow path. A portion of the fan flow path, proximal to the fan, is non-axisymmetric. The non-axisymmetric portion may be upstream or downstream of the fan.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed toward systems including a turbomachine blade tip shroud having a pressure side portion and a suction side portion. The pressure side portion and the suction side portion are divided by a mean camber line of a turbomachine blade, and the pressure side portion has a greater surface area than the suction side portion.

A two-sided turbocharger compressor wheel and a housing forming a diffuser for the compressor. A first side and a second side of the compressor wheel are characterized by different values of a trim and of an annulus area. A first side of the diffuser surrounds the first side of the compressor wheel, and a second side of the diffuser surrounds the second side of the compressor wheel. The first and second sides of the diffuser are characterized by different annulus area ratios. The blades of the first and second sides of the compressor wheel are angularly offset from one another. The compressor wheel is configured for greater flow through the side of the compressor wheel that faces away from a related turbine wheel.
摘要:
Turbomachinery, such as a gas turbine engine, has parts with opposed first and second surfaces and with a cavity between the surfaces and with the first surface moving relative to the second surface. The turbomachinery further has at least one feature for creating pressure variations incorporated into the first and second surfaces.

A gas turbine engine component includes a wall having first and second wall surfaces and a cooling hole extending through the wall. The cooling hole includes an inlet located at the first wall surface, an outlet located at the second wall surface, a metering section extending downstream from the inlet and a diffusing section extending from the metering section to the outlet. The diffusing section includes a first lobe diverging longitudinally from the metering section and a second lobe adjacent the first lobe and diverging longitudinally and laterally from the metering section.

An airfoil comprises pressure and suction surfaces extending axially from a leading edge to a trailing edge and radially from a root section to a tip section, defining a mean span therebetween. An inner endwall defines an inner endwall contour extending axially and circumferentially from the root section, and an outer endwall defines an outer endwall contour extending axially and circumferentially from the tip section. The inner and outer endwall contours are defined by varying radial deviations from circumferentially uniform nominal inner and outer radii, where one of the radial deviations varies axially and circumferentially by at least three percent of a mean span of the airfoil.

A vane assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a first platform, a second platform, and an airfoil that extends radially across an annulus between the first platform and the second platform. The airfoil is centered relative to a centerline axis of the second platform and is offset relative to a centerline axis of the first platform.

The rotor assembly can have a first disc having a first body extending circumferentially and radially around the axis, a first set of circumferentially distributed blades protruding radially from the first disc, and a male spline extending axially relative the first body, the male spline extending around and along the axis, and a second disc having a second body extending circumferentially and radially around the axis, a second set of circumferentially distributed blades protruding radially from the second disc, and a female spline extending around and along the axis, the female spline receiving the male spline in a spline engagement.
摘要:
A flight vehicle has a propulsion system that includes an air inlet, an isolator (or diffuser) downstream of the air inlet, and a combustor downstream of the isolator. The isolator includes an obstruction that protrudes inwardly from an inner wall of the isolator, into the flow channel in which air flows through the isolator. The obstruction diverts the flow to either side of it. Downstream of the obstruction the flow on either side of the obstruction comes together again, leading to mixing of the flow, for example including mixing of low energy and boundary layer flow with high energy flow. This mixing of flow may make for a more uniform flow at the exit of the isolator. In addition the obstruction may help fix the location of shocks within the isolator, providing longer flow mixing length in the isolator.
摘要:
A fan outlet assembly comprises a fan discharge nozzle having a radially inner platform, a radially outer platform arranged coaxially and in radial alignment with the radially inner platform and a circumferential array of outlet guide vanes (110) spanning an annulus defined by the radially inner platform and radially outer platform. An annular duct extends downstream from the circumferential array, the duct having a radially outer wall (112) contiguous with the radially outer platform and a radially inner wall (111) contiguous with the radially inner platform. In a region extending downstream from the circumferential array, the radially inner and outer platforms and/or the radially inner and outer walls having a non-axisymmetric surface bounding the duct. A non-axisymmetric surface may be applied to either or both of the radially outer and radially inner contiguous surfaces and may extend upstream as well as downstream of the circumferential array of outlet guide vanes.
