Distortion Data Analysis

Abstract

A detailed study of the characteristics of inlet distortion has been conducted. Data was selected from inlet and engine/inlet test with various duct diameters and various levels of steady-state distortion. A similarity parameter was developed which showed consistent trends in dynamic distortion relative to steady-state distortion over different scale sizes. These trends were consistent when the GE 'Method D' Phase O Distortion Parameter, 'ID', was used and not when gross overall distortion parameters were used.
