Design optimization of transonic airfoils for rotary blades is a challenging subject that remarkably affects the stage and overall performance axial-flow compressors. This paper describes surrogate-based multi-objective process over blade. blade works in first high-pressure pre-designed industrial axial compressor. It experiences massive separation behind an impinging shock wave its suction sid...

Wall-modeled large-eddy simulation is applied to a transonic axial compressor rotor (NASA Rotor 37). The simulation results show a significant improvement over fully turbulent RANS in the prediction of the overall performance, mainly by capturing boundary layer transition on the blade. Sensitivity of the result to the end-wall boundary conditions (isothermal/adiabatic walls) and the inflow prof...

This paper gives a brief introduction to some of the experimental facilities at Caltech being used for instruction and research. Two experiments are described: a ight control experiment using a vector thrust engine, and a low-speed, axial ow compressor rig. A common hardware and software infrastructure is used to control these experiments, allowing easy transition from instructional to research...

The tonal noise or vibration of air-cooled or water-cooled chillers with rotary twin screw compressors is crucial for environmental concerns. This work aims to perform the receiver tests regarding the radiated noise and structural vibration due to the compressor in different operating conditions. The sound pressure near the compressor is recorded by the one-third octave and narrow band frequenc...

This thesis contains new results in the eld of modeling and control of rotating stall and surge in compressors. A close coupled valve is included in the Moore-Greitzer compression system model and controllers for both surge and rotating stall is derived using backstepping. Disturbances, constant and time varying, are then taken into account, and nonlinear controllers are derived. Stability resu...

The unstable flow with rotating-stall-like (RS) effects in a rotor-cascade of an axial compressor was numerically investigated. The RS was captured with the reduction in mass flow rate and increasing of exit static pressure with respect to design operating condition of the single rotor. The oscillatory velocity traces during the stall propagation showed that the RS vortices repeat periodically,...

the main design objective of axial compressor is the efficiency increasing, pressure ratio and weight loss. these three parameters are used as an objective function and they are computed according to adopted design procedures. in this paper, a design method is presented that named quasi-three-dimensional. physical flow conditions are applied to design by some constraints to avoid irrational res...
