Abstract: A variety of techniques for simulating the effects of rotor tip clearances in multistage axial compressors is discussed. Proper recognition of stage coupling and rematching effects is shown to ...

Abstract: A Dynamic Compressor Analysis (DCA) applicable to axial flow compressors operating with a wide variety of inlet or exhaust conditions (steady-state or dynamic, and with total pressure and/or ...

Abstract: A unique vortex nozzle facility has been conceived and developed to simulate the exit flow from a high pressure ratio centrifugal compressor impeller. Visual studies and performance measurements ...
