“…In our previous studies [12,14], the distribution characteristics of DC and the effects of DC on timeaveraging simulation were conducted in axial compressors.The main conclusions related to DC modelling are as followings: 1)The DC has large magnitudes at the rotor-stator interface and decreases rapidly in flow direction from the interface. 2) The time-averaging simulation with axisymmetric DC can take into account the major part of the unsteady effects on spanwise redistribution.…”

The unsteady blade row interaction (UBRI) is inherent and usually has a large effect on performance in multistage axial compressors. The effect could be considered by using the average-passage equation system (APES) in steady-state environment by introducing the deterministic correlations (DC). How to model the DC is the key in APES method. The primary purpose of this study is to develop a DC model for compressor routine design. The APES technique is investigated by using a 3D viscous unsteady and time-averaging Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) flow solver developed in our previous studies. Based on DC characteristics and its effects on time-averaged flow, an exponential decay DC model is proposed and implemented into the developed time-averaging solver. Steady, unsteady, and time-averaging simulations are conducted on the investigation of the UBRI and the DC model in the first transonic stage of NASA 67 and the first two stages of a multistage compressor. The DC distributions and mean flow fields from the DC model are compared with the unsteady simulations. The comparison indicates that the proposed model can take into account the major part of UBRI and provide significant improvements for predicting compressor characteristics and spanwise distributions of flow properties in axial compressors, compared with the steady mixing plane method.
