Improvement of one-dimensional analytical model of rotating long orifice with chamfered or radiused inlet

In this paper, computational fluid dynamics calculations were conducted under various kinds of complex working conditions for rotating long orifice. As one of the most important structures of throttling and pressure limiting, orifice plays a significant role in flow control of the whole system. The existing empirical correlation was improved by correction on characteristics of low Reynolds number and compressibility. Then, improved one-dimensional analytical model of rotating long orifice with chamfered or radiused inlet was developed by programming. The model was verified against the results of commercial computational fluid dynamics codes. It turns out that the model has high precision, excellent convergence, and can predict the flow parameters under working conditions of low Reynolds number, supersonic and high pressure ratio with an acceptable error. And only geometric features, rotational speed and boundary conditions are required for one-dimensional modeling. Thus, it can be applied in the one-dimensional calculation and design of secondary air system widely.
