Aerodynamic performance of a transonic axial compressor with a casing groove combined with injection has been investigated in this work. Three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations with k-ε turbulence model are discretized by finite volume approximations and solved on hexahedral grids for the flow analyses. For parametric study, the front and rear lengths and height of the casing groove are selected as the geometric parameters and are changed with constant injection to investigate their effects on the stall margin and peak adiabatic efficiency. As a result of the parametric study, the maximum stall margin and peak adiabatic efficiency are found to be obtained in the axial compressor having 70% height of the reference groove. The results show that the application of the casing groove combined with injection to an axial compressor is effective for the simultaneous improvement of both the stall margin and peak adiabatic efficiency of the compressor.

This paper presents a parametric study on aerodynamic performance of a transonic axial compressor combined with a casing groove and tip injection using three-dimensional Reynolds-average Navier-Stokes equations. The front and rear lengths and height of the groove are selected as the geometric parameters to investigate their effects on the stall margin and peak adiabatic efficiency. These parameters are changed with constant injection. The validation of the numerical results is performed in comparison with experimental data for the total pressure ratio and adiabatic efficiency. As the results of the parametric study, the maximum stall margin and peak adiabatic efficiency are obtained in the axial compressor having 70% groove height of the reference groove. The stall margin and peak adiabatic efficiency in other cases are also improved in comparison with the axial compressors with the smooth casing and reference groove. The results show that both the stall margin and the peak adiabatic efficiency are considerably improved by the application of the casing groove combined with tip injection in an axial compressor.

Splitter blades located between stator blades in a single-stage axial compressor were proposed and investigated in this work to find their effects on aerodynamic performance and operating stability. Aerodynamic performance of the compressor was evaluated using three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations using the k-e turbulence model with a scalable wall function. The numerical results for the typical performance parameters without stator splitter blades were validated in comparison with experimental data. The numerical results of a parametric study using four geometric parameters (chord length, coverage angle, height and position) of the stator splitter blades showed that the operational stability of the single-stage axial compressor enhances remarkably using the stator splitter blades. The splitters were effective in suppressing flow separation in the stator domain of the compressor at near-stall condition which affects considerably the aerodynamic performance of the compressor.

In this study, characteristics of stall inception in a single-stage transonic axial compressor with circumferential grooves casing treatment were investigated experimentally. Additionally, the characteristic of increasing irregularity in the pressure inside circumferential grooves as the compressor approaches the stall limit was applied to the stall warning method. Spike-type rotating stall was observed in the single-stage transonic axial compressor with smooth casing. When circumferential grooves were applied, the stall inception was suppressed and the operating point of the compressor moved to lower flow rate than the stall limit. A spike-like disturbance was developed into a rotating stall cell and then the Helmholtz perturbation was overlapped on it at N = 80%. At N = 70 %, the Helmholtz perturbation was observed first and the amplitude of the wave gradually increased as mass flow rate decreased. At N = 60%, spike type stall inceptions were observed intermittently and then developed into continuous rotating stall at lower mass flow rate. Pressure measured at the bottom of circumferential grooves showed that the level of irregularity of pressure increased as flow rate decreased. Based on the characteristic of increasing irregularity of the pressure signals inside the circumferential grooves as stall approaches, an autocorrelation technique was applied to the stall warning. This technique could be used to provide warning against stall and estimate real-time stall margins in compressors with casing treatments.
