Abstract

Abstract To reveal the influence of distortion of S-duct on the flow field and performance of transonic fan, full annulus unsteady numerical simulation was carried out under S-duct/fan integrated condition. This study focuses on the coupling flow of S-duct/fan integrated condition under peak efficiency (PE) condition and near stall (NS) condition. Results show that, compared with the condition that S-duct or fan is investigated alone, the distortion of S-duct is suppressed under S-duct/fan integrated condition. The curved structure of S-duct is the important reason for the flow migration from undistorted region to distortion region. Higher inlet relative Mach number and more work input of the rotor are observed in the counter-swirl region. The flow separation in S-duct is weakened under NS condition compared with that of PE condition. Counter-swirl region of blade tip has larger region of blockage, and rotating stall inception is most likely to occur in this region.
