随着航空工业的发展,民用或者军用飞行器都对航空发动机要求越来越高,对转涡轮由于其气动布局上的优势能成为未来航空发动机的关键技术之一。本文通过对国内外文献的调研,结合课题组多年研究工作,分析了对转涡轮内部的特征,并从对转涡轮速度三角形参数分析和气动设计准则、内部复杂流动机制、激波组织技术和收扩叶型造型方法等方面对其研究进展进行了论述;在此基础上考虑加工工艺、结构强度、传热冷却等多学科耦合因素,探讨了转涡轮技术在工程应用中面临的挑战及可能的解决方向,展望了转涡轮技术的发展趋势。

With the development of aviation industry, more and more requirements are submitted during the design of civil and military aero-engines, such as higher thrust-weight ratio, lower fuel consumption, more affordability, etc. The counter-rotating turbine technology provides a powerful solution for the problems. The relevant literatures are reviewed from the aspects of velocity triangle parametric analyses, aerodynamic design criteria, internal flow mechanisms, shockwave control methods, and design techniques of convergent-divergent airfoils, respectively. By combining literature review with the research carried out in many years by authors, the characteristics of counter-rotating turbine are analyzed. However some challenges are also encountered when the counter-rotation turbine technology is applied to the aero-engines. These challenges in terms of processing technology, structural strength, heat transfer/cooling as well as their possible solutions are considered. Finally, the development trends of the technology are predicted.
