Improvement of Moderately Loaded Transonic Axial Compressor Performance Using Low Porosity Bend Skewed Casing Treatment

Effect of aging and manufacturing tolerances on multi-stage transonic axial compressor performance

The Axial compressor is an integrated part of a gas turbine. The central part of compressors is its blades. Blade aerodynamic has a significant effect on compressor performance. Because of the adverse pressure gradient in the compressor, any deviation in the blade profile has a significant influence on the flow field as well as the compressor performance. During the manufacturing and operation ...

Unsteady Transonic Flows in an Axial Flow Compressor*

Introduction. This paper deals with some transonic flow problems for the supersonic axial flow compressor: these arise in connection with flutter analysis for fan blading. Very detailed solutions for unsteady plane transonic flows through a cascade of flat plates have been given by Goldstein Braun and Adamczyk (1977) and Nagashima and Whitehead (1977), see also Goldstein (1975), Kurosaka (1974)...

Performance Prediction Modeling of Axial-Flow Compressor by Flow Equations

Design models of multi- stage, axial flow compressor are developed for gas turbine engines. Axial flow compressor is one of the most important parts of gas turbine units. Therefore, its design and performance prediction are very important. One-dimensional modeling is a simple, fast and accurate method for performance prediction of any type of compressors with different geometries. In this appro...

Application of Analytical and Numerical Methods for the Design of Transonic Axial Compressor Stages

Usually, the first stage of a compressor of a gas turbine works in the region of transonic flow, so that the designer has to take into account a lot of flow details like shocks, boundary layer separation and their interaction, when a new machine is defined. Beside other problems the choice of the blade geometry and profile family is one important consideration. For the design of the blades anal...
