Investigation about Rotor-stator Interaction with an Adjustable Leaned Vane Blade

Abstract

AbstractThis paper focuses on the noise reduction benefits of stator lean effect for rotor-stator interaction. The compressor with 3 blade lean angle of downstream stator was investigated by experimental and numerical study. The noise spectra of the acoustic measurement were obtained by the outside noise test. And the tone noise was extracted from the total noise sound pressure level (SPL). The unsteady loading of the stators' blade surface were also obtained. The pressure fluctuation amplitude was extracted from the numerical study, and the phase distribution of the wake presented the detail distribution of the wake phase. The numerical study shows that lean positive has less unsteady loading than negative, and lean positive case has the maximum phase lag.
