Abstract

According to the requirements of rain ingestion of airworthiness regulations, the rain ingestion calculation was carried out for the no booster fan part. The movement trajectory of water droplets with different water speeds was studied based on Lagrangian particle tracking, and the separation amount of water droplets ingested to inner duct was obtained. Further more, the requirements for water spray speed from the rain ingestion test rig in the certification for turbofan engine was discussed, which can support the design and verification of rain ingestion airworthiness of turbofan engine. The results show that with the decrease of water speed, the amount of rain impacting on the fan blade and other walls increases, and no water droplets can pass through the fan blade and enter the inner duct. The water entering the engine inner duct at 250 m/s is 15.3 percent of the total amount of water, about 19.1 times of that at 10 m/s. Under the same water velocity, as the distance between the splitter and the fan blade decreases, the increase in water ingested to inner duct increases. At different fan rotational speeds, the change trend of the water ratio ingested to inner duct with initial water velocity is consistent, basically increasing with the increase in water drop velocity, and then remaining or slightly decreasing.
