Abstract
Residual surface roughness is often introduced in the manufacture process with ball-end or fillet-end milling. Instead of paying extra cost to remove these small-scale residual surface structures, there is a potential usage of them as flow control device. This numerical study therefore explores the ability of engineered surface structure in controlling the end wall secondary flow in turbomachinery. The CFD method is validated against the existing experimental data obtained for a 90 degree turning duct flow with a single rib fence placed on the end-wall. The working principle of the engineered surface structure is revealed through detailed analysis on the flow produced by multiple small fences and grooves mimicking the residual surface. The results consistently show that addition of engineered residual structure on flow surface can effectively reduce the magnitude of stream-wise vorticity associated with secondary flow and alleviate its lift-off motion. In the end, a general working mechanism and design guideline for optimizing the residual structure are summarized.
