Investigation of inlet distortion effects on axial compressor performance based on streamline curvature method

Abbasi S., Pirnia A., Taghavi-Zenouz R.

Journal of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics

2018

Vol. 56 nr 4

1005--1015

In this paper, the effects of inlet flow distortion on performance maps and details of the flow field are investigated using the Streamline Curvature Method. The results are presented for both design and off-design conditions and compared with experimental data, which shows good agreement. The effects of inlet flow distortion are investigated by inlet total pressure variation in three different cases in the way that the average total pressure remains constant and equal to the design value. The results show that a relative increase in the total pressure at tip causes an increase in the pressure ratio and efficiency as well as a better performance in the choking region. Alternatively, a relative increase in the total pressure in hub causes opposite behavior and a better performance at the surging region.

Multiple spike stall cells in low speed axial compressor rotor blade row

Taghavi-Zenouz R, Abbasi S.

Journal of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics

2015

Vol. 53 nr 1

47--57

Inception and development of multiple stall cells of short length scales are numerically investigated in an axial compressor rotor blade row. The method of investigation is based on time accurate three-dimensional full annulus simulations. Time dependent flow structure results revealed that there are two criteria responsible for inception of a special kind of stall, introduced as spike stall in the literature. These criteria are defined as leading edge spillage and trailing edge backflow, which occur at specific mass flow rates near to stall conditions. The numerical results revealed that once the spike stall cells appear, they cover roughly two blade passages in the circumferential direction and cover about 25% of the blade height. By further revolution of the blade row, the number of cells tends to increase. For the present case study, the number of stall cells increased to three after 8.5 rotor revolutions from the moment of the initial spike stall occurrence. Even at this moment, both of the above mentioned criteria for the spike stall inception have been observed within the blades passages. These events caused the inlet relative flow angle to the blade rows, and therefore the flow incidence angle and consequent blockage to the main flow, to increase. The tip leakage flow frequency spectrum has been studied through surveying instantaneous static pressure signals imposed on pressure side of the blades and also on the casing walls. These latter results showed that any further revolving of the rotor blade row, exceeding 8.5 revolutions, causes the spike stall to disturb the flow structure significantly.
