...Zihuan Zhu; Yadong Wu; Lele Ming; Xinze Zhang; Hua Ouyang In this paper, the gas–liquid two-phase flow in a multi-stage transonic compressor is numerically simulated based on the Euler–Lagrange method. The changes in wet compression aerodynamic characteristics of the compressor are investigated...

... and rotating stall point. The influence of wet compression on the multistage compressor has been examined with different injecting rates and droplet sizes. In addition, the 3D flow fields within a compressor passage have been investigated. Based on the research and investigation, the following conclusions can...

...Lanxin Sun; Qun Zheng; Yijin Li; Rakesh Bhargava The effects of wet compression on the flow field within a compressor stage, particularly in the presence of the separated flow region, are not fully understood. Numerical simulations of 3D compressible separated flows within a wet compression...

.... In this study, a mean-line code was chosen for the calibration tool due to its accepted use during preliminary design studies, at which time during the compressor design process one would logically consider power augmentation through wet compression. The calibrated code features a nonequilibrium thermodynamic...

...Qun Zheng; Yufeng Sun; Shuying Li; Yunhui Wang Thermodynamic model of wet compression process is established in this paper. The topics of ideal wet compression process, actual wet compression process, water droplet evaporative rate, wet compression work, inlet evaporative cooling, concept of wet...
