Rotor Flow Analysis using Animplicit Harmonic Balance Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is an extension of a previous work where a diagonally implicit harmonic balance method was developed and applied to simulate oscillatory motions of pitching airfoil and wing. A more detailed study on the accuracy, convergence, and the efficiency of the method is carried out in the current paperby varying the number of harmonics in the solution approximation. As the main advantage of the method is itsusage for the design optimization of the unsteady problems, its application to more practical case of rotor flow analysis during forward flight is carried out and compared with flight test data and time-accurate computation results. Keywords—Design optimization, Implicit harmonic balance method, number of harmonics, rotor flows

A harmonic balance technique for modeling unsteady nonlinear ows in turbomachinery is presented. The analysis exploits the fact that many unsteady ows of interest in turbomachinery are periodic in time. Thus, the unsteady ow conservation variables may be represented by a Fourier series in time with spatially varying coef cients. This assumption leads to a harmonic balance form of the Eul...

متن کاملThe harmonic balance method with arc-length continuation in rotor/stator contact problems
There are a variety of abnormal running conditions in rotating machinery which lead to rotor/stator interaction dynamics which, in turn, can cause a rich mixture of effects associated with rub-related phenomena. These effects manifest themselves in the occurrence of multiple solutions for steady-state vibration response scenarios, including amplitude jumps during rotor acceleration, and vibrati...
