Transonic radial compressor inlet design

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part A: Journal of Power and Energy, 2003
The design of radial compressor inlets for transonic flow is examined. A theoretical model [1] quantifies the losses in the tip sections caused by the choke margin (incidence) and the blockage of the blades. It identifies clear design rules for the tip sections: to achieve the highest efficiency, these require minimum blockage (low blade thickness and

Transonic fan and compressor design

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science, 1999
Transonic fans and compressors are now widely used in gas turbine engines because of their benefits in terms of compactness and reduced weight and cost. However, careful and precise design is essential if high levels of performance are to be achieved.

Unsteady Losses in Transonic Compressors

Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power, 1985
A newly developed probe has been used to measure the time-resolved total temperature and pressure in a transonic compressor. The investigation revealed the presence of large fluctuations in the blade-to-blade core flow occurring at a frequency of three to four times blade passing.

Recent advances in transonic axial compressor aerodynamics

Progress in Aerospace Sciences, 2013
Transonic axial flow compressors are fundamental components in aircraft engines as they make it possible to maximize pressure ratios per stage unit. This is achieved through a careful combination of both tangential flow deflections and, above all, by taking advantage of shock wave formation around the rotor blades.

Optimization of rough transonic axial compressor

Aerospace Science and Technology, 2018
Abstract The influence of wall roughness on the performance of the axial transonic compressor stage was investigated with different values of roughness added to the blade, hub and shroud sections. The dimensionless sand-grain roughness model was used to capture the roughness effect and the results indicated that the increment of both end wall and ...

Shock Structure in Transonic Compressor Rotors

AIAA Journal, 1979
The inadequacy of axisymmetric theory in modeling the structure of the shock system in a transonic compressor rotor is shown with a simple model. A more accurate model for the flow near the sonic radius is proposed, which is supported by some flow visualization data and three-dimensional computations.

Flow in Transonic Compressors

AIAA Journal, 1980
Introduction B the term transonic compressor we mean an axial flow compressor in which the inlet flow Mach number, relative to the rotating blades, varies from below unity at radii near the inner casing or hub to values substantially above unity at radii near the blade tips.

Optimization of Robust Transonic Compressor Blades

Volume 2C: Turbomachinery, 2016
Surface degradation in an axial compressor during its lifetime can have a considerable adverse effect on its performance. The present study investigates how the optimized design of compressor blades in a single compressor stage is affected by considering a high level of surface roughness on a level representative of a long period of in-service use.

Design of Aerodynamically Balanced Transonic Compressor Rotors

Journal of Turbomachinery, 2023
Abstract This paper describes a simple and efficient physics-based method for designing optimal transonic multistage compressor rotors. The key to this novel method is that the spanwise variation of the parameter which controls the three-dimensional shock structure, the area ratio between the throat and the inlet, “Athroat /Ainlet”, is ...
