1.0 INTRODUCTION
Stable, aerodynamic operation of the compression system of a gas turbine engine is essential for the engine to perform satisfactorily. "Aerodynamically stable operation" refers
to the condition existing when the compressor delivers a desired quantity of airflow on a
continuous basis, compressed to a desired pressure , free of excessively large amplitude
fluctuations in the flow properties throughout the compressor. The aerodynamic stability
limit (surge line)--most commonly defined as a locus of points denoting maximum pressure
ratio for stable operation as a function of corrected airflow rate--is typically determined from experimental results. However, only limited amounts of experimental compressor
steady-state, transient, and stability limit data can be obtained during test programs because of test hardware and economic constraints. A validated mathematical model based on the
limited experimental data is needed to make performance and stability computations at operating conditions with inlet distortion patterns and with subcomponent hardware configurations different from those actually tested. The use of such a model would significantly enhance the usefulness of data from any given compressor test.
The objectives of the work described herein were to construct a validated mathematical
model of the high-pressure compressor of the TF41-A-1 turbofan engine and to provide thereby a new analysis tool for assessing the influence of external disturbances and
compressor modifications on performance and stability. The objectives were accomplished
through development of a one-dimensional, steady-state mathematical model for stability assessment with undisturbed flow and a three-dimensional, time-dependent mathematical model for analysis of distorted inflows and transient and dynamic disturbances.
For both models, example problems are presented and compared to experimental results. The problems using the one-dimensional, steady-state model consisted of determination of the steady-state stability limits (surge lines) with undisturbed flow for three distinct inlet
guide vane schedules. Those problems using the three-dimensional, time-dependent model included determination of the stability limit (surge line) reduction caused by pure radial inlet
pressure distortion, pure circumferential inlet pressure, and pure circumferential inlet temperature distortion. The effects of rapid upward ramps of inlet temperature on
compressor stability were also investigated. The models compute compressor stability limits with reasonable accuracy.
An altitude evaluation of the TF41-A-! turbofan engine with a highly instrumented, modified (Block 76) high-pressure compressor was conducted at the Arnold Engineering Development Center during the period September 15, 1977 through January 26,
1979. Pressure and temperature measurements obtained during this evaluation provided

experimental data for formulation of the compressor, stage characteristics and validation of
the models. I I
The technology required to construct compressor models applicable to predicting' compressor stability margin loss caused by external disturbance in flow conditions was
developed in Ref. I. This demonstrated the validity of the multidimensional form of a mathematical model for a four-stage, fixed-geometry compressor at one value of corrected rotor speed. In this program, refinements were introduced to the basic (Ref. l)model. These
refinements were introduced to improve the generality of the model, to accommodate the
variable rotor speed and the variable-geometry features of the TF41-A-I high-pressure
compressor, to increase accuracy, and to accommodate the inherently unstable numerical solutions caused by error buildup in the model calculations. This report describes the.
manner in which the models were constructed and the results obtained.
2.0 TF41-A-I TURBOFAN ENGINE ALTITUDE
AEROMECHANICAL TEST AND RESULTS
Because the information derived from the TF41-A-I turbofan engine altitude test is such
an integral part of the effort reported herein, a description of the engine and
instrumentation and pertinent results is presented.
2.1 ENGINE DESCRIPTION
The TF41-A-I, manufactured by the Detroit Diesel Allison (DDA) Division of the
General Motors Corporation, is a two-spool, low-bypass-ratio, nonaugmented turbofan engine (Fig. 1) in the 14,500-1bf-thrust class. The engine incorporates a three-stage fan and a two-stage, intermediate compressor driven by a two-stage, low-pressure turbine and an eleven-stage, high-pressure compressor driven by a two-stage, high-pressure turbine. The
engine incorporates a can-annular combustor, an engine-controlled, high-pressure
compressor interstage (seventh-stage) bleed system, and an annular fan duct. A schematic of
the engine installation in the T4 test cell is presented in Fig. 2. • - .
The fan, intermediate compressor, and high-pressure compressor pressure ratios at sea- level-static, intermediate power are 2.48, 1.41, and 6.20, respectively, for an overall pressure ratio of 21.7 at a rated engine airflow of 260 Ibm/sec, a high-pressure rotor speed, NH,;. of 12,840 rpm, and a fan rotor speed, NL, of 8,940 rpm. Airflow is split at the fan exit, and. the bypass air passes through the annular fan duct and mixes again with the gas generator airflow aft of the low-pressure turbine exit at the tailpipe inlet. The gas generator air'passes
8
• A E D C - T R - 7 9 - 3 9
through the intermediate compressor and into the high-pressure compressor through the variable-position inlet guide vanes. The high-pressure compressor incorporates a bleed
mariifold at the compressor exit in the outer compressor case for extraction of air for aircraft services. The fan has no inlet guide vanes, and the bulletnose rotates; there are no anti-icing provisions.
2.1.1 High-Pressure Compressor Modifications
The engine (S/N 141683/3) utilized a production high-pressure compressor that had been modified to include: (l) full-chord, clapperless, first-stage rotor blades with increased
thickness-to-chord ratio and revised taper, (2) "Eiffel Tower" stator vanes for stages 4, 5, and 6 having increased thickness near the root, looser dovetails, and glass bead peened
surfaces, and (3) modified spacer between stages 9 and 10. The first two modifications are refei'red to as "Block 76" design modifications. A detailed schematic of the high-pressure compressor is presented in Fig. 3.
2.1.2 High-Pressure Compressor Variable-Geometry Control System
The high-pressure compressor incorporates a hydromechanical control system to position the inlet guide vanes (IGV's) and the compressor bleed valve (BVP) by a common actuator through a system of linkages.
The inlet guide vanes are scheduled as functions of engine inlet air temperature and high- pressure rotor speed. The bleed valve is fully open when the guide vanes are at 35 deg and fully closed when the guide vanes reach 24 deg.
2.2 IINSTRUMENTATION
Instrumentation was provided to measure dynamic stresses and aerodynamic pressures and temperatures; rotor speeds; fuel system pressures, temperatures, and flow rates; lube oil and hydraulic system pressures and temperatures; and other engine and test cell system parameters required for proper operation of the engine.
The instrumentation providing data for this study was located in the high-pressure (HP) compressor. The HP compressor was heavily instrumented since one of the objectives of the altitude test program was to determine the detailed aerodynamic characteristics of the HP
compressor throughout the TF41-A-I engine operating envelope. In addition to the array of steady-state instrumentation, the HP compressor was also instrumented with high- response, wall-static pressure transducers. A diagram showing the type, number, and location of the HP compressor interstage instrumentation is presented in Fig. 4.

2.3 PROCEDURE FOR HIGH-PRESSURE
COMPRESSOR STABILITY ASSESSMENT
Following setting of the desired simulated flight conditions the high-pressure rotor speed
was adjusted to yield a selected inlet guide vane position, IGV, thereby establishing the
baseline point. The HP compressor was then slowly back-pressured by opening the inbleed
air system valve until surge occurred; steady-state and trarisient data were obtained along the .
constant IGV line from baseline to the surge point. The power lever was moved during
compressor loading to maintain the selected HP IGV angle at a constant value. When the
HP compressor surged, the inbleed air system valve was closed to relieve the compressor and
to permit recovery.
The surge testing of interest to this report was conducted at 30,000 ft, Mach number 0.7
in the range of operation where the seventh-stage bleed valve was closed and, at sea-level-
static, where open seventh-stage bleed valve performance was obtained. To evaluate the
effects of severely off-schedule, HP compressor IGV geometry, three IGV schedules were
selected, representing extremes beyond which the TF41-A-I engine is not expected to
operate. These IGV schedules are defined as:
1. "Nomina l , " M72-3 vane schedule (Ref. 2),
2. "Axia l ," open approximately 10 deg at a given NH, and
3. "Cambered , " closed approximately 10 deg at a given NH.
These schedules are shown in Fig. 5. For each IGV schedule, a HP compressor map was obtained by inbleeding high-pressure air into the exit diffuser by the previously stated
procedure.
2.4 EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
The following are results obtained during the TF41-A-1 altitude test pertinent to this
report. The normal operating and surge lines for the HP compressor at 30,000 ft, Mach
number 0.7, with nominal, axial, and cambered IGV schedules are presented in Fig. 6. The compressor surge margin was 26 percent at 46.0 lbm/sec corrected airflow. Misscheduling
the IGV approximately 10 deg axial and cambered had no measurable effect on the Block 76
compressor surge margin.
10
A E D C-TR -79-39
The normal operating and surge lines for the HP compressor at sea-level-static
conditions with nominal, axial, and cambered IGV schedules at low rotor sp6eds at which
the seventh-stage bleed valve is open are presented in Fig. 7. Compressor exit airflow
corrected to compressor inlet conditions was used as the abscissa of this curve because no provision ,,vas made to calculate seventh-stage bleed flow rate, and high-pressure
compressor inlet airflow is therefore undefined since compressor airflow was computed
downstream by assuming choked flow in the HP turbine vanes. The compressor surge
margin with the bleed valve 100 percent open was 41 percent at 24.5 Ibm/see corrected
airflow with the nominal IGV schedule and at 27 Ibm/see with the cambered IGV schedule.
Surge could not be induced with the bleed valve 100 percent open with the axial IGV
schedule.
lnterstage dynamic pressures during a typical surge sequence are presented in Fig. 8.
That the surge originated near the sixth stage is indicated by the pressure traces reflecting the
increase in dynamic pressure at stages I, 2, and 4 and by the corresponding decrease in dynamic pressure at stages 8 and 10 following the initiation of surge.
The aerodynamic pressures and temperatures from the HP compressor vane interstage
instrumentation (Fig. 4) are presented, respectively, in Figs. 9 and l0 as typical examples of
the total-pressure and total-temperature profiles existing during uniform engine inlet-flow
conditions.
Experimental data and results presented are compared to the mathematical model
predictions in follov,,ing sections.
3.0 DESCRIPTION OF ONE-DIMENSIONAl. , STEADY-STATE MODEL
A one-dimensional, steady-state model of the TF41-A- l H P compressor was developed,
based on compressor geometry provided by the engine manufacturer and on stage
characteristics formulated from the experiment data. The steady-state model makes use of
individual stage characteristics of pressure and temperature rise as functions of mass flow to
predict the quasi-steady uniform flow performance of the compressor.
3.1 MODEL CONCEPTS
A steady-state compressor model is simply a mathematical representation of the
compressor performance. Sufficient data are necessary to determine the total-pressure and
total-temperature ratios for the compressor as functions of corrected airflow and rotor
speed. Thus, modeling the overall steady-state performance of a compressor can be as
11
AEDC-TR-79-39
simple as reading a compressor map. However, for the model to predict stage performance
as well as overall performance, it is necessary to analyze the components or stages of the compression system to account for stage interactions. The steps for development of the one- dimensional, steady-state model are (I) defining control volumes, (2) writing governing
equations, and (3) giving the method of solution.
3.1.1 Control Volume Analysis
The TF41-A-I HP compressor system (overall control volume) was divided into twenty
elemental control volumes consisting of four inlet duct, eleven compressor, and five exit duct elemental control volumes (Fig. l i). The division of the inlet and exit ducting
permitted calculation of the flow properties in the dueling by applying conservation of mass, momentum, and energy laws. The division of the compressor into elemental control
volumes representing stage lengths in the axial direction was made because the pressure and temperature rise between stage entry and exit were obtained from experimentally determined
stage characteristics as discussed in Section 3.2. For the one-dimensional, steady-state
analysis, all flow properties are "bulked" in the radial and circumferential directions~ and
variations with the axial coordinate only are considered.
3.1.2 Governing Equations
An axial-flow compressor imparts kinetic energy to the flow of a fluid by a direct interaction between that fluid and the rotating machine elements. The fluid is then diffused
through the diverging flow passages between the blades, reducing the kinetic energy and
increasing the static pressure. The divergence of each passage is determined by the inlet and
exit air angles. Since the blades are most often closely spaced, the exit-air angle is approximately equal to the trailing-edge angle of the blades. The inlet-air angle, however, is
a function of the axial velocity entering the blades and their rotational speed. Thus, a stage
flow coefficient (~), as defined in Ref. l,
U
Uwh (1)

the entry of each compressor elemental control volume.

which is a constant for any given blade row through the relationship

Thus, ~ serves the same purpose in the compressor stage as ot does for aircraft wing
aerodynamics. It decreases with increasing t~; therefore, small ~ means large % and vice
versa.

The temperature and pressure coefficients (~,T and ~k p) are primarily functions of the flow coefficient, 0, and the flow direction (Ref. 1). Thus, a set of curves
f t,.b P [ (,~) (7)
is referred to as "stage characteristics," and, with flow direction information, fully defines a
stage's performance from a one-dimensional standpoint.
in principle, theoretical or experimental lift and drag coefficients could be used, along
with stage geometry, to compute the stage characteristics. However, corrections for blade row interference losses and secondary flows would be required. The method used in this study was to compute directly ~b ~-, 6P, and q~ by Eqs. (1), (3), and (4) from the experimental measurements of stage total temperature, flow rate, and total pressure at the stage entry and
exit. A discussion of the stage characteristics obtained is presented in Section 3.2.
Friction losses in the inlet and exit ducting, internal bleeds, and the forces acting on the fluid in the compressor must satisfy mass, momentum, and energy conservation principles
as they relate to any elemental control volume (Fig. 12).

3.1.3 Method of Solution
The one-dimensional, steady-state model uses a "stacking" procedure to determine flow properties throughout the compressor and associated ducting. The one-dimensional model of the TF41-A-1 HP compression system uses segmented inlet and exit ducting as indicated
in Fig. ! l. The solution is begun with known air properties at the compressor inlet (total pressure, total temperature, and airflow), ducting geometry, and a coefficient of friction.
Flow properties throughout the inlet ducting are calculated using the one-dimensional,
steady-state conservation laws (see Section 3. i.2). Since the exit of one duct segment is the entrance to the next segment, the solution is marched upstream from the compressor inlet to
the duct inlet by an iterative procedure. For the compressor segments, with compressor inlet flow properties known, a stage-by-stage calculation downstream through the compressor
using the stage characteristics formulated from experimental data gives individual stage
pressure and temperature ratios so that overall compressor performance can be calculated.
Compressor aft-ducting flow properties are then calculated using the one-dimensional, steady-state conservation laws.
3.2 TF41-A-I HIGH-PRESSURE COMPRESSOR STEADY-STATE
STAGE CHARACTERISTICS
Representative stage characteristics (temperature and pressure coefficients as functions
of flow coefficient) are presented schematically in Fig. 13 for a fixed-geometry compressor operating at a single value of compressor corrected rotor speed.
17
AEDC-TR-79-39
Several problems had to be resolved because of the variable geometry of the TF41-A-I
HP compressor:
1. To allow investigation of off-nominal schedules, the model had to account for variable IGV effects without relating IGV position to rotor speed.
2. To determine the stage flow rates during bleed-valve open operation the seventh-
stage bleed flow rate had to be estimated.
3. Interpolation of stage characteristics between lines of the chosen dependent variables had to reflect the experimentally det.ermined results.
i
Assumptions were made, and procedures were established and incorporated into the
TF41-A-1 HP compressor models to meet these requirements. The steady-state stage
characteristics are utilized both in the one-dimensional, steady-state model and in the three- dimensional, time-dependent model; therefore, the following discussion will apply, to both
models.
The variation of the steady-state stage characteristics with rotor speed was assumed to be second order, with primary effect attributed to the IGV position. This relates the stage
characteristics to the single dependent variable, the IGV, and greatly simplifies their
formulation.
An empirical relationship between bleed valve position, BVP, and bleed flow rate, WB,
was developed, based on the reactions of various static-to-total-pressure ratios determined
from the interstage instrumentation (Fig. 4). This estimation of the seventh-stage bleed flow rate permitted calculation of the stage characteristics from experimental data dur!ng open
bleed-valve operation (see Section 2.1.2).
The stage characteristic parameters ¢,T, ~P, and ~ were computed from measurements of rotor speed, flow rate, total pressure, and total temperature for each stage entry by use of Eqs. (3), (4), and (1) respectively for all data obtained during the TF41-A-I test. The
stage characteristics were then generalized along lines of constant IGV angle over the full range of IGV operation (from -5.5 to 36 deg). The TF41-A-1 HP compressor stage
characteristics developed from this analysis are presented in Fig. 14.
The stage characteristics were incorporated by means of a series of second-order curve
fits. Frequently, a prediction of compressor performance is required at some value of IGV that is not equal to any of the values used to formulate the stage characteristics. Hence,
18
AEDC-TR-79-39
interpolation of the required parameter (~,-r or ¢,P) from the values of stage characteristics
between higher and lower guide vane positions is required. The interpolation procedure used in the models is based on a fixed value of ~. This procedure was adopted because the
variation of compressor mass flow with rotor speed is effectively represented by d~. Hence,
the same ~ can be used to determine g,T or g,P at the higher and lower guide vane positions.
The ~-r or ~b P can then be interpolated linearly to define the value at the desired IGV for a
given value of 6.
3.3 MODEL VERIFICATION
Figure 15 presents steady-state model computations of compressor performance at
30,000 ft and Mach number 0.7, with nominal, cambered, and axial inlet guide vane
schedules over the corrected rotor-speed range from 90 to 100 percent and compares them to experimental results. The steady-state model computes compressor surge pressure
ratios within 2.4 percent of the experimental stability limits for the nominal, cambered, and axial guide vane schedules. For these results (Fig. 15) the model computations represent
constant corrected rotor-speed lines at a constant IGV, whereas the experimental data were obtained with nearly constant IGV (+ 0.4 deg) while corrected HP rotor speed, NH/0,,/~24, varied as much as 3.6 percent.The procedure used to obtain the experimental data (see Section 2.3), by maintaining constant IGV during the HP compressor loading, resulted in
near constant NH (+ 1.0 percent). However, the increase in energy to the engine turbines resulted in increased fan rotor s.peed, NL. Thus, the inlet temperalure, T24, delivered to the HP compressor increased from the baseline point to the stall point with corresponding
decreases in NH/0x]~z4. Therefore, the model and experimental data represent different paths from baseline to stall point. This is illustrated in Fig. 16 in which the steady-state model predictions are presented at the corresponding corrected rotor-speeds of the experimental
data points for the -0.3-deg IGV line on the axial IGV schedule (Fig. 15c).
Steady-state model computations of overall compressor performance with seventh-stage
bleed valve open at sea-level-static conditions with nominal, cambered, and axial inlet guide
vane schedules, over the corrected rotor-speed range from 85 to 92 percent are presented and compared to experimental results in Fig. 17. The steady-state model computes compressor surge pressure ratios within 4.0 percent of the experimental stability limits for the
nominal, cambered, and axial guide vane schedules with seventh-stage bleed valve open.
The large quantity of steady-state temperature and pressure measurements made on the TF41-A-I HP compressor during testing allows detailed model-to-experiment
comparisons on a stage-by-stage basis. Figures 18, 19, and 20 show model computed and
experimentally determined stage flow coefficients, pressure ratios, and temperature ratios,
19
A E DC-TR-79 -39
respectively, as functions of corrected rotor speed near the compressor stability limit. Good
agreement was obtained {within 0.5 percent).
It is evident from Fig. 18 that the TF41-A-I HP compressor operates with forward stages
(1 through 3) below the stall value of stage flow coefficient at corrected rotor speeds below
approximately 91 percent. This operation reinforces previous theories and experiment observations (Refs. 1, 3, 4, and 5). At low corrected rotor speeds, the forward stages cannot
deliver their intended pressure ratio. The flow density provided to the aft stages is therefore
lower than that for which the compressor axial area distribution was designed. Thus, to maintain steady mass flow continuity, the flow coefficients (axial velocity) in the aft stages
must increase with decreasing corrected rotor speed. Indeed, at sufficiently low corrected
rotor speeds, the aft stages are even choked. At low corrected rotor speeds, as the load on
the compressor (the demanded pressure ratio) is increased by back-pressuring, the
compressor flow reduces, and the following occur: initially the aft stages may increase their
pressure ratio in response to the flow reduction at a greater rate than the rate of decrease in
pressure ratio occurring in the forward stages; thus, the increased load may be satisfied.
However, as the loading continues, the forward stages become more and more stalled, and a
point is eventually reached at which the aft stages can no longer compensate. At that point,
overall compressor instability occurs.
It is necessary to distinguish stage stalling from overall compressor stalling or
instability. Instability is always preceded by stage stall but is not always simultaneous with
stage stall.
4.0 DESCRIPTION OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL,
TIME-DEPENDENT MODEL
The three-dimensional, time-dependent model detailed in Ref. l was converted to the
TF41-A-I high-pressure compressor system by the incorporation of TF41-A-I compressor
geometry and stage characteristics formulated during the steady-state model investigation
discussed in Section 3. The time-dependent model utilizes a finite control volume, integral
approach to solve the full nonlinear form of the three-dimensional conservation laws of
mass, momentum, and energy by means of a finite difference technique. Thus, the model is
capable of computing the influences of transient and dynamic disturbances with either
uniform or distorted inflow. ¢
4.1 MODEL CONCEPTS
A detailed description of the concepts involved in the three-dimensional, time-dependent
model development is presented in Ref. 1 and summarized in this section."
20
A EDC-TR-79-39
The compressor was divided radially, circumferentially, and axially on a stage-by-stage
basis into control volumes (Figs. 21 and 22). The governing equations were developed from the three-dimensional, time-dependent mass, momentum, and energy equations for a finite control volume. The force and shaft work applied to the fluid are determined from empirical
steady-state stage characteristics modified for unsteady cascade airfdil effects. For simplification empirical crossflow relationships were used to replace the radial and circumferential momentum equations. The radial work distribution variation effect
necessary for treatment of radial distortion was approximated using average stage
characteristics modified as a function of radius by empirical total pressure and total
temperature profile correction. Crossflow and unsteady cascade effects for circumferential distortion were also built into the model.
4.1.1 Method of Solution
The three-dimensional, time-dependent compressor model is formulated as an initial condition problem. The values of the dependent variables (mass, momentum, and energy) are specified for every control volume location (axial, radial, and circumferential
coordinate) to start the solution. For simplicity, the solution is always started from a steady,
uniform flow condition, thus allowing determination of the initial conditions by use of the
one-dimensional, steady-state model. With dependent variables, p, pU, and X (representing mass, momentum, and energy) specified for every control volume location, ijk, for time
equal zero, the time derivatives are computed from the following equations:

The force, F, is obtained from stage characteristic information modified for unsteady

(28)
The radial and circumferential impulse and velocity terms neglected in Eqs. (25) and (28) are
second-order terms determined respectively by nondimensionalization and order-of-
magnitude analysis of the equations; therefore, their influence on the solution would have
been small. Also, including these terms caused the numerical solutions to be generally less stable and to oscillate with small amplitude when a steady-state condition was reached. Once
these calculations of the time derivatives of the dependent variables, p , ,oU, and X, are
carried out for all the volumes, the solution can be advanced in time through use of a fourth-
order Runge-Kutta numerical integration method (Ref. 6) that provides values of the
variables at the next time step. The sequence is then repeated, with boundary conditions
changing in accordance with the specified event simulation for as many time steps as are
required. A schematic of the computational process is presented in Fig. 23.
The system of equations constituting the model is for time-dependent, three-dimensional
subsonic flow and is hyperbolic in nature, with specified boundary conditions and initial
conditions. Thus, each integration step to compute the dependent variables at the new time (t + At) must be made within the region of influence of the known values at time, t. The

4.2 THREE-DIMENSIONAL, TIME-DEPENDENT MODEL REFINEMENTS
Before this study, the three-dimensional, time-dependent model concepts (Ref. 1)
summarized in the previous section had only been applied to a four-stage, fixed-geometry
compressor operating at a single rotor speed. During this investigation, a number of
refinements were introduced to the basic model to accommodate variable rotor speed and
variable-geometry features of the TF41-A-I HP compressor. In addition, refinements were
incorporated to improve accuracy, and to handle numerical solutions that were inherently unstable. (This instability was caused by error buildup in the model calculations.) These
refinements are discussed in the following paragraphs.
4.2.1 Variable Rotor Speed and Variable Geometr~
The variable-rotor-speed and variable geometry requirements were met by incorporating
the IGV-dependent, steady-state stage characteristics formulated during the one-
dimensional, steady-state model investigation (Section 3.2). With both NH and IGV
specified as inputs (boundary conditions), stage shaft work and forces could be determined for all IGV schedules.
4.2.2 Real-Gas Properties
As was done in the one-dimensional, steady-state model development, real-gas
properties were approximated by incorporation of an emperical relationship for the specific
heat at constant pressure, Cp, as a function of temperature and gas composition.
4.2.3 Modified Fourth-Order Runge-Kutta Numerical Integration Method
Conversion of the three-dimensional, time-dependent model to the TF41-A-I HP
compressor form with incorporation of the previously discussed refinements resulted in a
mathematical model that was numerically unstable at all conditions. All attempts to start the
model resulted in unsteady conditions that produced a model computation abort similar in
nature to a compressor surge. An analysis of the instability revealed that the fourth-order
Runge-Kutta numerical integration method was not convergent when applied to the
hyperbolic equations constituting the TF41-A-I HP compressor model. Further analysis
revealed that the divergence was of a series form, alternating around the desired solution.
Therefore, an average of the oscillations over at least one cycle approximates the desired solution.
23
A ED C-TR-79-39
A technique was developed an'd incorporated to average the oscillations of the dependent
variables (mass, momentum, and energy) over a predetermined time interval and restarting
the solution at the average value of the dependent variables. The averaging technique was
investigated for convergence by running various time intervals to determine the minimum interval at which convergence could be maintained. The minimum time interval for
satisfactory convergence was determined to be approximately 0.2 x i0 -3 sec. This time
interval was also effective at the time of actual compressor surge since the instabilities that
occur during the surge event fully develop and produce model computat ion abort within 0.2
x 10 3 sec. An illustration of the effect of the incremental averaging technique on numerical
instability is presented in Fig. 24.
4.3 MODEL VERIFICATION
The TF41-A-I HP compressor model was loaded to the stability limit by increasing the
exit static pressure until flow breakdown was indicated. Inlet stagnation pressure and temperature were constant. Corrected rotor speed was 92.6 percent of design, and IGV angle
was 12 deg (nominal IGV schedule). Figure 25 illustrates the loading and the resulting stall
process. Exit static pressure was ramped at a rapid rate to minimize the computer time
necessary for the computations. The rate was slow enough, however, that transient effects
were very small. Airflow at any stage never differed from compressor inlet airflow by more
than 0.6 percent during loading. As the load on the compressor increased, compressor
pressure ratio increased, and airflow decreased until flow breakdown was indicated.
Figure 26 presents the model computed stage inlet total pressures on an expanded time
scale covering the flow breakdown. Initiation of surge is indicated at t = 76.78 msec by
observation of the sixth- and seventh-stage inlet total pressures. The inlet total pressure at
stage seven decreases because stage six stalls, thereby limiting pumping capacity. The inlet total pressure of stage six increases in response to the sudden blockage to the flow produced by the stalling in stage six. The indication that compressor surge originated in the sixth stage
agrees with the experimental results reported in Section 2.4
The model solution thus indicated the following sequence leading to compressor
instability: The compressor is loaded and mass flow decreases until a stage somewhere in the compressor reaches its stall point (its maximum pressure coefficient point). The ability of
that stage to continue to pump flow (i.e., to help support the pressure gradient over the
length of the compressor imposed by the back pressure load) begins to diminish ~. As the flow reduction continues, the ability of the stage to pump diminishes even further because of the
increased load. Eventually, a point is reached where the flow into the stage becomes fully
24
AEDC-TR-79-39
stalled; thus, little force on the fluid is provided to pump the flow, and the flow path
through the compressor becomes blocked because of the highly separated condition of the
stalled flow in the channels.
in terms of the solution of the model equations, as the loading is increased, a point is reached where no stable solution to the. governing equations exists that will satisfy the
imposed load (boundary conditions); thus, the solution, like the flow through the
compressor, becomes unstable. However, the behavior of the model quickly becomes
nonrepresentative of the'compressor shortly after flow breakdown because the stage
characteristics are not valid for deeply stalled, dynamic situations.
4.3.1 Pure Radial and Circumferential Distortion Patterns
Three types of distortion patterns were computed to see the influence of pattern severity
and shape variations on the TF41-A-1 HP compressor. The patterns considered were pure
radial pressure distortion, pure circumferential pressure distortion, and pure circumferential
temperature distortion. No specific experimental data for the TF41-A-I HP compressor
were available for these cases. Therefore, only comparisons to experimental results from
other compressors could be made.
4.3.1.1 Radial Pressure Distortion
Figure 27a illustrates the results of loading (by increasing exit static pressure) the TF41- A-! HP compressor model to the stability limit with tip radial distortion (low pressure in the
tip region). Pattern severities (Pmax - Pmin/Pavg), of 5, 10, and 20 percent were considered. Figure 27b shows the results for the hub radial case and indicates that the TF41-A-i HP
compressor would be more sensitive to tip radial distortion than to hub radial distortion.
Figure 28 compares of the TF41-A-i HP compressor model results with experimental data
from a J85-13 engine test (Ref. 8). Similar results were obtained, except that the J85-13 engine was even less tolerant of tip radial distortion than the TF41-A-I HP compressor was
computed to be.
4.3.1.2 Circumferential Pressure Distortion
The effect of increasing the severity of a 180-deg-arc circumferential pressure distortion pattern is presented in Fig. 29. Compressor surge limit in terms of pressure ratio decreased 3.1, 4.8, and 7.9 percent, respectively, from the uniform flow (no distortion) surge limit at
pattern severities of 5, 10, and 20 percent. Figure 30 shows the TF41-A-I HP compressor
25
AEDC-TR-79-39
model results compared to a range of experimental data from other compressors (Refs. 8 and 9). The trend and magnitude predicted by the model agree well with the experimental
data.
4.3.1.3 Circumferential Temperature Distortion
Figure 31 shows the effect of varying the severity of 180-deg-arc total temperature
distortion on compressor stability. Temperature distortion destabilizes the compressor in
much the same manner as does pressure distortion. The higher temperature region operates
at reduced airflow, thus, at reduced flow coefficients compared to the low temperature
region of the compressor. As the load on the compressor is increased, the high temperature
region stalls first, eventually causing the entire compressor to become unstable.
For the example presented in Fig. 3 I, corrected rotor speed was held constant during the
loading (exit static pressure increase) by maintaining constant average temperature over the
face of the compressor.
Figure 32 shows a comparison of the TF41-A- 1 HP compressor model computed stability
limit pressure ratio reduction caused by circumferential temperature distortion to test results with other compressors (Refs. 8 and 10). The trend and magnitude predicted by the model
agree well with the, experimental data.
I 4.3.2 Rapid Inlet Temperature Ramp to Stall
The TF41-A-I HP compressor model was subjected to a series of uniform inlet
temperature ramp rates of 2,000, 5,000 and 10,000°R/see to simulate ingestion of hot gases
from gun or rocket fire. The effects of inlet temperature ramps were investigated for three
IGV schedules of the TF41-A-! HP compressor. Guide vane schedules investigated were
nominal, cambered (+ 10 deg from nominal), and axial (-10 deg from nominal). Mechanical
rotor speed and inlet total pressure were held constant while exit static pressure was
maintained at the level corresponding to experimentally determined operating line condition
for the respective guide vane angle investigated. The initial corrected rotor speed was 92.6 percent. Figure 33 shows the effect of 5,000OR/see uniform inlet temperature ramps with the
nominal, cambered (+ 10 deg from nominal); and axial (-10 deg from nominal), mechanical
. no significant changes in transient surge limit with IGV schedule; this is expected since both
steady-state model and experimental results indicated that misscheduling the inlet
guide vane had no measurable effect on the TF41-A-I compressor steady-state surge margin.
26
A EDC-TR-79-39
Analysis of the model computations (Fig. 34) indicate that the forward stages are rapidly
driven into stall by the reduction in airflow accompanying the rapid temperature rise at the compressor inlet. Initiation of surge and associated flow breakdown occured in the second
stage and propagated back through the compressor.
Figure 35 shows the TF41-A-! HP compressor model computed influence of uniform
inlet temperature ramp rates on compressor stability with nominal, cambered and axial IGV
schedules. The model results from Fig. 36 indicate that the nominal schedule produces
slightly less reduction in airflow for a given temperature rise at the inlet than the cambered
or axial schedules. This allowed stable compressor model operation with the nominal
schedule at approximately 15°R higher inlet temperatures than could be obtained with the
cambered or axial schedules for a given ramp rate.
Figure 37 shows the model predicted effect on compressor stability if the 5,000°R/see
inlet temperature ramp is imposed only on a 90-deg-arc circumferential section of the
compressor inlet. This case illustrates a combined effect of the temperature ramp and the
associated inlet temperature distortion. Model results presented in Fig. 37 indicate that
compressor surge occurs 15.2 percent below the steady-state stability limit at an inlet
temperature distortion level of 18.4 percent.
