Main completed StrAU projects in the past three years
1.    Integrated project of creation the high-tech manufacturing "Creation of effective design technologies and high-tech manufacturing of high-power gas turbine engines for the ground power plants”. Project Manager – Alexander Ermakov, Director of Aerospace Propulsion Institute SSAU, was born in 1951. Industrial partner – JSC "Kuznetsov". contract value is 190 million rubles.
The original technical solutions for the main engine components have been developed and implemented, reasonable geometric dimensions which provide required reliability and effectiveness of the modified and uprated engines have been chosen by performing the simulations and experiments. As a result of work upgraded compressor has been designed. The optimization of the low pressure turbine and free power turbine workflows was performed considering the mutual influence of turbines, enabling improved efficiency of the turbines. As a result of the works air brake PT-36-32 (32 MW) has been designed with a wide application "virtual" testing technology in the design process, implemented in the software package NUMECA FineTurbo. A technical proposal on the final version of the intermediate-pressure compressor support design with a modified number and shape of racks was found in order to radically reduce the amplitude of dangerous harmonics acting on the impeller of the fifth compressor stage. This proposal has been obtained as the result of the complex "virtual" gas-dynamic and strength tests.


 
 
Due to cooperation between SSAU and JSC "Kuznetsov" was made the numerical simulation of the workflow of all Turbomachinery gas turbine engine NK-36СТ. Models were created as separate units (compressors and turbines), and a complex e model of three-stage compressor (low pressure compressor + intermediate-pressure compressor + high pressure compressor), as well as a joint model of four-stage turbine (high pressure turbine + medium turbine pressure + low pressure turbine + free power turbine). Created joint models of compressors and turbines are unique in the world.
Developed and implemented radial-face seals with hydrodynamic and hydrodynamic lubrication, elasto-damping piping supports, vibration isolators made of Metal-Rubber (MR) material. Upgraded unit APM-25, allowing to reduce influence of the steering system units of gas-dynamic stability of compressor and combustion processes in the combustion chamber of the engine NK-36SТ. Developed computerized complex devices for bench control angular and linear displacement element rotating units of gas-turbine engines, namely, measuring the dynamic changes of radial clearances and profile end section of fan blade (PRIZ-1) and measuring a dynamic displacement element (ILDP-8) angular contact bearing high-pressure compressor. It has been created burner for the combustion chamber of the engine NK-36SТ with increased to 32 MW capacity, developed two versions of unified combustion chamber of the engine NK-36SТ, the study of the burner in the experimental tests  allowing to choose the best mode of its work with good parameters of emission of Nox and CO.
Produced the experimental technological process of the modified low pressure compressor gas generator (NK-36) rotor blades, developed a set of measures to improve the accuracy control of geometrical parameters of blades and their castles, including during the treatment. Received a wax model of the compressor stator blades and transferred to JSC "Kuznetsov" for the production of castings with directional crystallization. It has been developed The technology of selective laser sintering bladed swirler for the gas turbine engine. As a collaborator in this project has been Russian Research Institute of Aviation Materials. They have done testing of obtaining parts made of alloy VTI-4 and alloy VJL21, which are not inferior to the properties of the alloys-analogues made in the USA.
 
 2.
