The impact of wake-induced unsteady flows on blade row performance and the wake rectification process is examined by means of numerical simulation. The passage of a stator wake through a downstream rotor is first simulated using a three dimensional unsteady viscous flow code. The results from this simulation are used to define two steady state inlet conditions for a three dimensional viscous flow simulation of a rotor operating in isolation. The results obtained from these numerical simulations are then compared to those obtained from the unsteady simulation both to quantify the impact of the wake-induced unsteady flow field on rotor performance and to identify the flow processes which impact wake rectification. Finally, the results from this comparison study are related to an existing model which attempts to account for the impact of wake-induced unsteady flows on the performance of multistage turbomachinery.

The unsteady viscous flow around a 12000TEU ship model entering the Third Set of Panama Locks with different eccentricity is simulated by solving the unsteady Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations in combination with the [Formula: see text]SST turbulence model. Overset grid technology is utilized to maintain grid orthogonality and the effects of the free surface are taken into account. The hydrodynamic forces, vertical displacement as well as surface pressure distribution are predicted and analyzed. First, a benchmark test case is designed to validate the capability of the present methods in the prediction of the viscous flow around the ship when maneuvering into the lock. The accumulation of water in front of the ship during entry into a lock is noticed. A set of systematic computations with different eccentricity are then carried out to examine the effect of eccentricity on the ship–lock hydrodynamic interaction.

The effects of circumferential distortions in inlet total pressure on the flow field in a low-aspect-ratio, high-speed, high-pressure-ratio, transonic compressor rotor are investigated in this paper. The flow field was studied experimentally and numerically with and without inlet total pressure distortion. Total pressure distortion was created by screens mounted upstream from the rotor inlet. Circumferential distortions of 8 periods per revolution were investigated at two different rotor speeds. The unsteady blade surface pressures were measured with miniature pressure transducers mounted in the blade. The flow fields with and without inlet total pressure distortion were analyzed numerically by solving steady and unsteady forms of the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. Steady three-dimensional viscous flow calculations were performed for the flow without inlet distortion while unsteady three-dimensional viscous flow calculations were used for the flow with inlet distortion. For the time-accurate calculation, circumferential and radial variations of the inlet total pressure were used as a time-dependent inflow boundary condition. A second-order implicit scheme was used for the time integration. The experimental measurements and the numerical analysis are highly complementary for this study because of the extreme complexity of the flow field. The current investigation shows that inlet flow distortions travel through the rotor blade passage and are convected into the following stator. At a high rotor speed where the flow is transonic, the passage shock was found to oscillate by as much as 20% of the blade chord, and very strong interactions between the unsteady passage shock and the blade boundary layer were observed. This interaction increases the effective blockage of the passage, resulting in an increased aerodynamic loss and a reduced stall margin. The strong interaction between the passage shock and the blade boundary layer increases the peak aerodynamic loss by about one percent.
