ISimQ at 2017 ASME Turbo Expo in Charlotte, USA

The ASME Turbo Expo, presented by the ASME International Gas Turbine Institute (IGTI) will be held in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA on June 26 – 30, 2017. ISimQ will be presenting a paper, GT2017-64786, on joint validation work performed with the Notre Dame Turbomachinery Laboratory.

Validation of innovative rotor-stator interaction methods

In this work, we validated innovative transient rotor-stator interaction methods on a unique and challenging high-pressure ratio transonic compressor stage for which the Notre Dame Turbomachinery Laboratory performed the experiments, obtaining unsteady-state two-dimensional experimental data between the rotor and stator. The complex unsteady-state interaction is explored in the paper, including resolution of unsteady-state flow features above the base blade passing frequency.
