英文摘要：

The aerodynamic performance analysis and exhaust hood design play an important role in improving the economics of large power steam turbines. The interaction between the last stage and diffuser of the exhaust hood, as well as the complex exhaust hood structure with intensifying plate and bracing pipe, will result in the unsteady and non-periodic flow pattern in the exhaust hood. The basic structure features of the exhaust hood are firstly introduced, and the state-of-the art aerodynamic design and performance analysis of the exhaust hood using experimental measurements and numerical simulations are reviewed. Three-dimensional aerodynamic performance analysis of the last stage and exhaust hood in consideration of the last rotor tip leakage is illustrated in the TurboAero Group of Xi＇ an Jiaotong University. In the end, the research and development of the exhaust hood for large power steam turbine in the aerodynamic performance analysis and optimization design are summarized. The influence factors of aerodynamic performance for exhaust hood are summarized as follows： swirl flow from the last stage rotor exit, tip clearance jet flow, rotor wake and geometric parameters of exhaust hood. These interactions of low pressure cylinder and exhaust hood are indispensable for investigating the aerodynamic performance of the exhaust hood.
