Abstract

A rotordynamic analysis is performed for a high thrust class liquid rocket engine turbopump considering the dynamic characteristics of ball bearings and pump noncontact seals. Complex eigenvalue problems are solved to predict the rotating natural frequencies and damping ratios as a function of rotating speeds. Synchronous rotor mass unbalance response and time transient response analyses are also performed to figure out the rotor critical speed and the onset speed of instability. From the numerical analysis, it is found that the rear bearing stiffness is most important parameter for the critical speed and instability because the 1st mode is turbine side shaft bending mode. The pump seal effect on the critical speed is enlarged as the rear bearing stiffness decreases and the front bearing stiffness increases.

볼 베어링과 펌프 비접촉 실의 동특성을 고려하여 고추력 액체 로켓 엔진용 터보펌프의 회전체동역학 해석이 수행되었다. 회전 고유진동수와 감쇠비를 예측하기 위하여 회전속도에 따른 복소 고유치 해석이 수행되었다. 동기 회전체 질량 불평형 응답과 시간 과도 응답 해석을 통하여 회전체의 임계속도와 불안정 운전 시작 속도가 확인되었다. 수치 해석 결과로부터 후방 베어링 강성이 임계속도와 불안정성 예측에 있어서 가장 중요한 인자로 확인되었는데, 이는 1차 모드가 터빈부 회전축 굽힘 모드인 것에 기인한다. 임계속도에 있어서 펌프 실의 영향은 후방 베어링 강성이 감소할수록 그리고 전방 베어링 강성이 증가할수록 확대되는 것으로 나타났다.
