A Computational Study of Compressor Inlet Boundary Conditions with Total Temperature Distortions

A three-dimensional CFD program was used to predict the flow field that would enter a downstream fan or compressor rotor under the influence of an upstream thermal distortion. Two distortion generation techniques were implemented in the model; (1) a thermal source and (2) a heated flow injection me...
