Review of Current Knowledge on Engine Response to Distorted Inflow Conditions,

Abstract

This paper reviews some current aspects of time-variant, spatial total-pressure distortion and other forms such as swirl, static-pressure distortion, planar-wave perturbations of total pressure, and total temperature distortion. Engine response considerations include the influence of engine spool coupling on stability, developments in the modelling of total-pressure circumferential extent effects, and swirl/total-pressure interactions. Guidelines for the formulation of distortion descriptors and performance/stability assessments are reviewed.
