Improved Statistical Analysis Method for Prediction of Maximum Inlet Distortion
Abstract
This report presents the results of an investigation to develop an analytical method which predicts the maximum pressure distortion level and provides a synthesized pressure distortion map at the entrance to the turbine engine compression system. The method uses inlet total pressure statistical properties and a random number process to predict the most probable maximum pressure distortion and pressure distortion map. The validity of the method is demonstrated by comparing predicted maximum distortion levels and pressure contour maps with measured peak distortion levels and pressure contour maps obtained from analog screening of inlet pressure data. Keywords include: Time-variant distortion inlet analysis, and Inlet-engine compatibility statistical method.
