Overview
Inlet Distortion
Inlet Distortion
o Alters engine performance
o Fan sees once-per-revolution variation
o Often requires full wheel modeling
o Expensive
Previous work
o GT2013-95059
o Simpler geometry. Fan (alone) under distortion
o Faster solution obtained
Using Fourier Transformation method
Only two passages required
5X faster , 11X less mem. Req., than Full wheel

Overview
Inlet Distortion
Current work
o Complex fan-stage configuration
Add nice graphics
Once per revolution inlet distortion
for full wheel
22 rotors, 34 stators Rotor/stator
o Fan rotor subjected to:
Once-per-revolution inlet distortion
Stator blade passing signals
Unstructured, Element-based FV
Scalable parallelization
Range of turbulence models: Eddy-viscosity models, Reynolds stress models, LES & DES,
transition and reattachment models
Wide range of blade row models:
o Steady : Mixing-Plane (MP) , Frozen Rotor (FR)
o Transient: Full-Domain (TRS) , Pitch-change : Profile-Transformation (PT) ,
Time-Transformation (TT) , Fourier-Transformation (FT)
Applicable to multi-disturbance
FCs then used for reconstruction of solution history on pitchwise boundary with
appropriate phase shift
Applicable for all speed, and ideal for very large pitch-ratio disturbance
Sensitivity Analysis
o Three mesh densities, Steady-State solution
o Medium mesh selected for transient simulation
Mesh Size (R,S) Po ratio To ratio Efficiency

Multiple Mixing Plane (MMP) Steady Approach
Basic Concept
Based on Stein GT2015-42632
o Rotor/ Stator coupling established via MMP
o Each MP connect multiple rotor blades to corresponding stator blades
o Capture local potential pressure variation and circumferential variation due to
inlet distortion
o Steady-state MP calculation not expensive
