Unsteady cooperative flow type in the axial compressor

摘要

For increasing the performance of the axial compressor, a method for realizing unsteady cooperative flow type is proposed in this paper as a critical objective in the new generation of the axial compressor design system. Unsteady excitations were utilized to trigger the transformation from the unsteady natural flow pattern into the unsteady cooperative flow pattern, resulting in increment of aerodynamic performances of axial compressor. Numerical simulations show that distinct positive effect can beobtained for the 2D cascade in a wide range of subsonic working conditions. No positive effect can be observed under the 2D supersonic working conditions and unsteady excitations have little influence on the flow field space-time structure. However, positive effect can be obtained under the 3D trans-sonic working conditions. In addition, engineering applications of unsteady cooperative flow type are discussed.
