Rotating Stall Investigations. Volume I. Theoretical Investigations

Abstract

This report presents the results of a research program on rotating stall in axial flow compressors and jet engines. The program had three major objectives which were: (1) develop an analysis for a three-dimensional, time- variant rotating stall and separation theory, (2) develop analysis for post- stall operation/recovery and aerodynamically induced exotic metal combustion, and (3) consider the effects of distortion, water ingestion, and nuclear blasts on axial flow compressors. The work done towards accomplishing objective (1) is reported in Volume I. The work done towards the accomplishment of the remaining two objectives is reported in Volume II. Volume I contains the description of an implicit time marching Euler code, a small disturbance stability theory for the compressible flow through a compressor stage, and a three-dimensional unsteady lifting surface theory for annular blade rows.
