摘要
The inlet and outlet radii are important design parameters that directly determine the internal/external characteristics and cavitation characteristics of the torque converter (TC). The stator and turbine are the main areas of cavitation in TCs. Based on this, the outlet radius of the stator and turbine is taken as the research object of this paper. In this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models of different turbine and stator outlet radii are established, and the influence of stator/turbine outlet radius design parameters on the performance of TCs is revealed by comparing the internal/external characteristics and cavitation characteristics. The results show that reducing the outlet radius of the stator/increasing the outlet radius of the turbine will cause the stator and the turbine blade to be shorter, increase the area of the vaneless region between the impellers, and reduce the risk of cavitation in TCs. However, it will also lead to a decrease in the external characteristics of the low-speed ratio (SR) condition and an increase in the external characteristics of the high-SR condition. With the decrease in the stator outlet radius/the increase in the turbine outlet radius, the mass flow rate of TCs will decrease, and the mass flow loss caused by cavitation will decrease from the original 42.51 to 6.95 and 21.95 kg/s, respectively. The suppression rates of the stator/turbine outlet radius on TC cavitation volume are 58.894% and 52.359%, respectively. The research results of this study can provide practical engineering guidance for the design of high-performance TCs and cavitation suppression.
