Low Speed Compressor Tests for Code Validation and for Simulating High Speed Designs

摘要

This paper describes the use of low-speed multi-stage compressor testing to simulate the aerodynamics of high-speed designs and also to validate 3D (three-dimensional) viscous modelling methods employed for both analysis and design. It covers two design/test programmes that have been carried out by DERA on a 4-stage low-speed research compressor at Cranfield University.
