Prediction of Inlet Distortion Transfer Through the Blade Rows in a Transonic Axial Compressor

Inlet total pressure non-uniformities in axial flow fans and compressors can contribute to the loss of component structural integrity through high cycle fatigue (HCF) induced by the excitation of blade vibratory modes. As previous research has shown total pressure distortion to be the dominant HCF...
