Abstract

Fouling, caused by the adhesion of fine materials to the blades of the compressor’s last stages, changes the airfoil’s shape and function and the inlet flow angle on the blades. As the fouling increases, the range of influence increases, and the mass flow rate and overall engine efficiency reduce. Therefore, the compressor is choked at lower speeds. This study aims to simulate compressor performance during off-design conditions due to fouling and to present an approach for modeling faults in diagnostic and health monitoring systems. A computational fluid dynamics analysis is carried out to evaluate the proposed method on General Electric’s T700-GE turboshaft engine, and the performance is evaluated at different flight conditions. The results show promising outcomes with an average accuracy of 88% that would help future turboshaft health monitoring systems.
