The global stability of vaneless diffuser in the centrifugal compressor is often influenced by the main flow stability, backflow at exit and the boundary layer separation. For the vaneless diffuser with large axial width ratio, the effect of the main flow and boundary layer on the instability perturbations is the main subject. In this paper, the mean flow of the wide vaneless diffuser is firstly obtained with numerical simulations. The Eulers' and Navier-Stokes equations are linearized respectively based on the small perturbations assumption. Then the inviscid stability approach considering the inviscid main flow and the mixed stability approach considering the effect of both eddy viscosity and molecular viscosity are established. The prediction results are validated against the experimental results. At last, the structural sensitivity based on the adjoint method is adopted. And the wave-maker region is revealed under different treatments of viscosity. The instability perturbations are located at the middle of the flow field when inviscid main flow is only considered. And a centrifugal instability maybe the main cause of the vaneless diffuser stall. When the inviscid main flow and boundary layer are both considered, the wave-maker region not only lies at the main flow near the middle of the vaneless diffuser, but also lies at the reverse flow region of the boundary layer.

To reveal the effect of high-temperature creep on the blade-tip radial running clearance of aeroengine high-pressure turbines, a distributed collaborative generalized regression extremum neural network is proposed by absorbing the heuristic thoughts of distributed collaborative response surface method and the generalized extremum neural network, in order to improve the reliability analysis of blade-tip clearance with creep behavior in terms of modeling precision and simulation efficiency. In this method, the generalized extremum neural network was used to handle the transients by simplifying the response process as one extremum and to address the strong nonlinearity by means of its nonlinear mapping ability. The distributed collaborative response surface method was applied to handle multi-object multi-discipline analysis, by decomposing one "big" model with hyperparameters and high nonlinearity into a series of "small" sub-models with few parameters and low nonlinearity. Based on the developed method, the blade-tip clearance reliability analysis of an aeroengine high-pressure turbine was performed subject to the creep behaviors of structural materials, by considering the randomness of influencing parameters such as gas temperature, rotational speed, material parameters, convective heat transfer coefficient, and so forth. It was found that the reliability degree of the clearance is 0.9909 when the allowable value is 2.2 mm, and the creep deformation of the clearance presents a normal distribution with a mean of 1.9829 mm and a standard deviation of 0.07539 mm. Based on a comparison of the methods, it is demonstrated that the proposed method requires a computing time of 1.201 s and has a computational accuracy of 99.929% over 104simulations, which are improvements of 70.5% and 1.23%, respectively, relative to the distributed collaborative response surface method. Meanwhile, the high efficiency and high precision of the presented approach become more obvious with the increasing simulations. The efforts of this study provide a promising approach to improve the dynamic reliability analysis of complex structures.

Numerical simulation and flow analysis of the vaneless diffuser of centrifugal compressor in low flow condition
A three-dimensional compressible flow model was presented to study the occurrence of rotating waves in vaneless diffusers of centrifugal compressors. Solutions to the discrete 3D Euler equations for compressible flow were obtained via singular value decomposition (SVD) method. Critical inlet mass flow rate of vaneless diffuser stall and relative rotating speed of stall cell were calculated. The effects of inlet Mach number were studied and the results show that both critical inlet mass flow rate and rotating wave speed vary with inlet Mach number especially when the diffuser is long. In addition, critical inlet mass flow rate and rotating wave speed are also influenced by diffuser outlet/inlet radius ratio, departure from axial uniform distribution of the undisturbed radial velocity at the diffuser inlet, and impeller back swept angle. Finally, a comparison with experimental results in open literature was made, and the results of 3D model show better agreement than those of 2D model.

A study on the rotating stall in vaneless diffusers of centrifugal fans. 2nd report, an analysis of pressure fluctuations
We study a dynamical system consisting of two mutually coupled molecular lasers, each of which shows mixed-mode oscillations and chaos when uncoupled. The type of coupling, incoherent laser interaction via saturable absorbers is an example of inhibitory nonlinear coupling, which is also found in Hodgkin-Huxley models that describe action potentials in neurons. We have carried out extensive numerical bifurcation analysis and numerical simulations to show that for small-enough coupling, well below the chaotic synchronization threshold, the presence of distinctive resonances in a symmetric mirror configuration of the system generates a type of rare events characterized by very small amplitudes. When this symmetry is broken by introducing a relatively small difference between the lasers pump parameters near an in-phase Hopf bifurcation, we observe extreme rare events (rogue waves) in one of the lasers. In this case the outliers deviate from power-law distributions and are reminiscent of those known as dragon kings. We consider the conditions for both types of rare events to occur, their origin, as well as relevant statistical features.
