Air Force Research in Aero Propulsion Technology (AFRAPT)

Abstract

This research grant consisted of ten separate projects: (1) Turbomachinery noise reduction through distortion amelioration; (2) Fluid mechanics of discrete passage diffusers; (3) Compressor stabilization through structural feedback; (4) Linearized Euler solutions for turbomachinery flutter and forced response; (5) Vortical flow behavior downstream of convoluted trailing edges; (6) Turbine blade tip forces; (7) Influence of inlet radial temperature distribution on turbine rotor heat transfer; (8) Effect of circumferential inlet distortion on the formation of turbine secondary flow vortices; (9) Inlet distortion with application to STOVL; (10) Instability and distortion in multistage compressors.
