This numerical study reveals that total pressure loss and inlet distortion impact compressor stability, suggesting design improvements for intake-compressor systems.
Key Points
Total pressure loss and swirl distortion significantly affect compressor stability during real flight conditions.
CFD simulations show that the total pressure distorted index doubled and swirl distorted index tripled compared to stationary conditions.
The coupled analysis highlights how real flight conditions alter shock wave interactions, impacting rotor flow fields within the compressor.
Evaluating intake-compressor performance is crucial for integrated design, particularly under dynamic inflow conditions.
