Unsteady transonic flows in an axial flow compressor

Unsteady Transonic Flows in an Axial Flow Compressor*

Introduction. This paper deals with some transonic flow problems for the supersonic axial flow compressor: these arise in connection with flutter analysis for fan blading. Very detailed solutions for unsteady plane transonic flows through a cascade of flat plates have been given by Goldstein Braun and Adamczyk (1977) and Nagashima and Whitehead (1977), see also Goldstein (1975), Kurosaka (1974)...

Inviscid Compressible Flow in Meridional Plane of an Axial Flow Compressor

In this paper it is attempted to investigate the behavior of an inviscid flow in the meridional plane of an axial flow compressor. For this purpose the 3-D unsteady Euler equations in cylindrical coordinate are averaged in tangential direction. Therefore, the equations are reduced to a 2-D system. By averaging the tangential component of momentum equation, a blade force will result. Axial and r...

Effects of Different Turbulence Models in Simulation of Unsteady Tip Leakage Flow in Axial Compressor Rotor Blades Row

Characteristics of rotor blade tip clearance flow in axial compressors can significantly affect their performance and stable operation. It may also increase blade vibrations and cause detrimental noises. Therefore, this paper is contributed to investigate tip leakage flow in a low speed isolated axial compressor rotor blades row. Simulations are carried out on near-stall condition, which is val...
