Abstract

Experimental investigations are conducted to study the instability evolution in a transonic axial flow compressor at four specific rotor speeds covering both subsonic and transonic operating conditions. Two routes of evolution to final instability are observed in the test compressor: at low rotor speeds, a disturbance in the rotor tip region occurs and then leads to rotating stall, while at high rotor speeds, a low-frequency disturbance in the hub region leads the compressor into instability. Different from stall and surge, this new type of compressor instability at high rotor speed is initiated through the development of a low-frequency axisymmetric disturbance at the hub, and we name it “partial surge”. The frequency of this low-frequency disturbance is approximately the Helmholtz frequency of the system and remains constant during instability inception. Finally, a possible mechanism for the occurrence of different instability evolutions and the formation of partial surge are also discussed.
