The Rotating-Stall (RS) through a rotor-cascade of an axial compressor were numerically investigated with an unsteady two-dimensional finite-volume density based computer code. To validate the computer code, a test case was prepared and the good agreement of the compared results has given the adequate assurance of the code. The RS was incepted with a 40% reduction in flow coefficient and a 0.4%...

Abstract The stability limit of a tip-stalling axial compressor is sensitive to the magnitude near-casing blockage. In transonic compressors, presence passage shock could be major cause for Identification and elimination this blockage key improving compressor. article, using numerical simulation, within rotor, NASA Rotor 37, quantified parameter. For smooth casing, at conditions near stall maxi...

This paper describes the numerical analysis of a stall suppression system for helicopter rotors. The analysis employs a finite element method and includes advanced dynamic stall and vortex wake models. The stall suppression system is based on a transfer function matrix approach and uses blade root actuation to suppress stall directly. The rotor model used in this investigation is the UH-60A rot...

Abstract Improvement of the operating range compressors will help power and energy plant to work more flexibly integrate with other generation systems. The stall, rotating resulting surge are most dominant limiting phenomenon in axial compressor envelop. Several active passive methods have been employed eliminate occurring these phenomena extend compressors’ stable range. Among these, casing tr...

BACKGROUND African horse sickness (AHS) is of importance to health and international trade in horses worldwide. During export from and transit through AHS endemic countries or zones, physical and chemical measures to protect horses from the vectors of AHS virus (AHSV) are recommended by the World Organization for Animal Health. Protection of containerized air transport systems for horses (jet s...

Abstract Mixed flow compressor stage designs are becoming increasingly popular for use in Micro Gas Turbine (MGT) engines. Due to manufacturing constraints and structural considerations, such compressors typically feature unshrouded impeller designs. A numeric investigation of the effect impeller-shroud tip clearance on performance a MGT mixed fitted with crossover diffuser is presented. Three ...

Numerical simulations have been performed to study the effect of circumferential single-grooved casing treatment (CT) at multiple locations on tip-flow stability and corresponding control mechanism three tip-clearance-size (TCS) schemes in a transonic axial flow compressor rotor. The results show that CT is more efficient when its groove located from 10% 40% tip chord, G2 (located near 20% chor...

The development and upgrade of test installations, instrumentation and the data acquisition system of an existing turbofan engine test rig are described for an experimental program which was planned and initiated to investigate the transient unsteady operation of gas turbine engines with an emphasis on compressor operation. The objective of the program was to examine aerodynamic instabilities s...

TALL-1/BAFF/BLyS was recently identified as a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family. The crystal structure of the functional soluble TALL-1 (sTALL-1) has been determined at 3.0 A. sTALL-1 forms a virus-like assembly with 200 A diameter in the crystals, containing 60 sTALL-1 monomers. The cluster formation is mediated by a "flap" region of the sTALL-1 monomer. The virus-like as...

A low-speed counter-rotating axial flow compressor (CRAC) with single circumferential grooved casing treatment (CT) was investigated numerically. Both steady and time-accurate numerical calculations were performed to study the effects of the single grooved CTs over the rear rotor on the stability enhancement and the unsteadiness of tip leakage flow (TLF) in the CRAC. Parametric studies indicate...
