Effects of inlet pressure fluctuations on axial flow compressors - Some experimental and theoretical results
Abstract
The effects of unsteady inlet flow on the dynamic response of a multistage axial flow compressor have been studied both theoretically and experimentally. Results from experimental tests carried out at different compressor operating points and pulsation frequencies are presented. The experimental data are then used to validate a mathematical model for the dynamic behavior of the compressor.
