“…The compressor rig presented in this paper has been previously investigated using single passage highfidelity URANS simulations, reproducing multiple surge events [6]. Three-dimensional full annulus modelling of compressor surge has been performed at Imperial College, using high-fidelity URANS simulations [7,8]. This type of CFD offers the best resolution of the phaenomenon, but the computational cost associated remains in the order of a day per rotor revolution using hundreds of cores running in parallel.…”
