Latest Patents
One of Li He's latest patents is titled "Simulation of rotor-stator flow interaction." This invention presents a computer-based method for simulating rotor-stator unsteady turbulent flow interaction in turbomachinery. It involves performing CFD ensemble-averaged flow field simulations over coarse meshes and conducting CFD large eddy simulations over fine meshes. The ensemble-averaged and large eddy simulations are coupled, allowing for the derivation of unsteady turbulence stress terms in the ensemble-averaged simulation for specific regions of the blade passages without the need for fine meshes.
Another notable patent is related to the "Stator vane row" in gas turbine engines. In this design, each vane features pressure and suction surfaces that extend radially from an inner to outer endwall of an annular working gas engine passage. The vanes are arranged in unequally-shaped pairs, with specific configurations of compound lean and reverse compound lean, optimizing the aerodynamic performance of the engine.
