The paper deals with numerical simulations of transonic flow through the turbine blade cascade consisting of flat profiles. The cascade is one of variants of the tip section of ultra-long blades, which were designed for the last stage of the steam turbine. CFD simulations were realized by means of the ANSYS CFX commercial software using the γ-Reθ bypass transition model completed by the two-equation SST turbulence model. Some simulations were made only by the SST turbulence model for comparison. Numerical results were compared with experimental data. Calculations performed for two nominal regimes and two computational domains. In addition to the standard computational domain, the calculation was performed for a domain with an extended output part for the suppression of reflected shock waves. The interaction of the inner branch of the exit shock wave with the boundary layer on the blade suction side leads in the both flow regimes to the flow separation followed by the transition to turbulence. The flow structure in the blade cascade obtained for the extended domain corresponds well to experimental results.
Key words: CFD simulation / tip-section blade cascade / flat profile / shock-wave/boundary-layer interaction
