Evaluation of an Airjet Distortion Generator Used to Produce Steady- State, Total-Pressure Distortion at the Inlet of a General Electric F101-GE-100 Turbofan Engine
Abstract
A performance evaluation of an airjet distortion generator (ADG) system used to produce steady-state, total-pressure distortion at the inlet to a turbine engine was conducted. The capability of the system to duplicate screen- generated, classical and composite patterns and to maintain a constant distortion pattern over a range of airflows is presented. The effect of Reynolds number on the system's capability to match patterns is also investigated. A comparison of the effects of inlet distortion produced by screens to that produced by the airjet distortion generator system on the stability characteristics of the General Electric F101-GE-100 turbofan engine is described.
