  1. ABSTRACT
  2. In this work, the transient process of surge has been investigated numerically in a gas turbine engine. A one-dimensional
  3. stage-by-stage mathematical model has been developed which can describe the system behavior during aerodynamic
  4. instabilities. It is demonstrated that, these instabilities can be stabilized by the use of active control strategies, such as air
  5. bleeding and air injection. Both steady and unsteady active control systems were considered. In the steady case, mass is
  6. removed at a fixed rate from the diffuser, or mass is injected at a fixed rate into the first stage of the compressor. In
  7. unsteady control, the rate of bleeding or injection is linked with the amplitude and the frequency of the upstream pressure
  8. disturbances. Results show that both steady and unsteady strategies eliminate surge disturbances and suppress the
  9. instabilities. Therefore, they extend the stable operating range of compressor. It is also shown that smaller amount of
  10. compressed air needs to be removed in the unsteady control case. Also, a variable area diffuser is shown to be able of
  11. suppressing surge instabilities. Active control of instabilities, caused by sinusoidal perturbations of inlet total pressure, was
  12. also investigated, which showed to destabilize the stable operating condition the design point.

  72. Introduction
  73. Turbo machines are used in a wide variety of
  74. engineering applications for power generation and
  75. propulsion. There are two major fluid dynamic
  76. instabilities in compression systems, known as
  77. rotating stall and surge. Surge is a large amplitude
  78. oscillation of the total annulus averaged flow through
  79. the compressor; whereas in rotating stall, one can
  80. finds from one to several cells of severely stalled flow
  81. rotating around the circumference, although the
  82. annulus averaged mass flow remains constant in time
  83. once the pattern is fully developed. Therefore,
  84. rotating stall is the two-dimensional or threedimensional
  85. disturbance localized to the compressor
  86. and characterized by regions of reduced or reversed
  87. flow that rotate around the annulus of the compressor
  88. [1-4]. To avoid these dangers, compressors have been
  89. designed to operate away from the peak operating
  90. point.
  91. A compression system mathematical model was
  92. developed using lumped-volume techniques which
  93. make certain assumptions about compressibility
  94. within the system.
  95. The lumped volume model uses an isentropic
  96. relationship to relate the time-dependant change in
  97. density to a time-dependant change in total pressure,
  98. and uses a steady-state form of the energy equation
  99. [5]. A stage-by-stage mathematical model was
  100. presented by Davis [6] which removed assumptions
  101. inherent in lumped-volume models. A one
  102. dimensional model developed by Garrard and Davis
  103. [7-10] was found to predict the flow oscillations of
  104. surge cycles due to perturbations of fuel flow rate. A
  105. one dimensional model was developed to predict
  106. surge disturbance propagation and engine response
  107. during surge and surge recovery, due to perturbation
  108. of total pressure and temperature, and exit nozzle area
  109. [11]. Moore and Greitzer [12] developed a 2-D model
  110. for rotating stall and surge. Their analysis was
  111. extended to the compressible flow regime by
  112. Bonnaure [13] and Hendricks [14]. It also was further
  113. modified to include actuation by Feulner [15], who
  114. also converted the model to a form compatible with
  115. control theory. Paduano used controllable inlet guide
  116. vanes for elimination of rotating stall [16,17]. Pinsley
  117. [18] studied centrifugal surge control using throttle
  118. valves as actuators. The effect of bleeding on the
  119. control of instabilities was studied by Eveker [19],
  120. Yeung [20] and Murray [21]. The reported amounted
  121. of bleeding by Yeung to achieve operating
  122. enhancements ranges from 1 to 10 percent based on
  123. the mean flow. Niazi and Stein [22] developed a
  124. three-dimensional viscous flow solver and studied the
  125. fluid dynamic phenomena that lead to the onset of
  126. instabilities in centrifugal and axial compressors and
  127. the effect of bleeding on the control of instabilities.
  128. The next section of this study contains the model
  129. description. In the third section, the results of using
  130. steady and unsteady control for uniform inlet flow are
  131. presented. Air bleeding, air injection and variable
  132. area diffuser are used as control systems. Although
  133. one-dimensional models are not able to simulate
  134. rotating stall, they are shown to properly enable
  135. simulation of surge instability and study of active
  136. control. In the fourth section, the results of using
  137. steady and unsteady control for inlet flow with total
  138. pressure perturbation are presented.
  139. Modeling
  140. Figure 1 shows the engine geometry consisting of
  141. compressor, a diffuser, a combustion chamber, a two
  142. stage turbine and an exhaust duct with a convergent
  143. nozzle. Dimensions are given in mm. The compressor
  144. geometry and characteristics are taken from Rolls-
  145. Royce C-141, which its geometry and experimental
  146. data were available in house.

  153. Governing Equations
  154. The governing equations are the unsteady, onedimensional
  155. equations of continuity, momentum and
  156. energy. These equations for an inviscid flow are
  157. expressed in the conservative form (Equations 1 to 4).
  158. It must be noted that these 1-D equations are used for
  159. simulation of compressor and turbine flows and not
  160. for the combustion chamber. The combustion
  161. chamber is considered as a zero dimensional
  162. component which energy release is modeled by an
  163. increase in total temperature as:
  164. (1)
  165. (2)
  166. (3)
  167. (4)
  168. Component Characteristics
  169. To provide stage force (FX) and shaft work (Wshaft)
  170. input to the momentum and energy equations, a set of
  171. quasi-steady stage characteristics must be available
  172. for closure. The stage characteristics provide the
  173. pressure and temperature variation across each stage
  174. as a function of normalized corrected mass flow rate.
  175. The compressor has four stages and an inlet guide
  176. vane (IGV) with different pressure and temperature
  177. characteristics. During transition to surge, the steady
  178. stage forces derived from the steady characteristics
  179. are modified for dynamic behavior via a first-order
  180. time lag equation. Appropriate time constants must be
  181. used for each stage to provide the correct transient
  182. behavior. The pressure and temperature
  183. characteristics of the third stage are given in Fig.2.
  184. Characteristics of other stages are also modified for
  185. dynamic behavior.
  186. Burner is considered as a zero dimensional
  187. component. The energy release from the combustion
  188. chamber is considered by an increase in total
  189. temperature. The air-fuel ratio and combustion
  190. chamber loss of a typical engine are used in the
  191. model. The ratio of exit to inlet total pressure of
  192. combustion chamber is 0.96. Turbine stages
  193. characteristics, with specified power rating, were
  194. obtained in order to take the matching condition into
  195. account.
  196. Numerical Scheme and Boundary Conditions
  197. The method of characteristics is used as the
  198. Numerical scheme to solve the governing equations.
  199. A variable time step is used to satisfy the Courant
  200. condition. For more details of MOC one may refer to
  201. reference [23].
  202. Specified total pressure and temperature during
  203. normal forward flow is the inlet boundary conditions.

  301. exit Mach number or static pressure. During
  302. reverse flow the inlet is converted to an exit boundary
  303. with the specification of the ambient static pressure.
  304. Therefore, both the inlet an exit boundaries function
  305. as exit boundaries during a surge cycle. The boundary
  306. conditions are properly applied to the combustor to
  307. take the zero dimensional modeling into account. The
  308. initial values are determined for the boundary
  309. conditions at some specified compressor operating
  310. points.
  311. Control Strategies
  312. In this study, two types of active control systems are
  313. considered: steady and unsteady. In steady control,
  314. including steady air bleeding and air injection, a fixed
  315. fraction of mass flow rate is removed from or injected
  316. to the compression system. In unsteady case, the mass
  317. flow rate of removed or injected air is linked to the
  318. pressure fluctuation upstream of compressor during
  319. instabilities. Figure 3 illustrates the schematic of the
  320. unsteady control system which is used in the present
  321. study.
  322. Fig. 3 Schematic of the unsteady control system.
  323. The Validation of Results
  324. To obtain the stable operating conditions, the
  325. equations are solved by a time marching technique.
  326. To validate the results, the predicted overall
  327. characteristic of the compressor (for stable
  328. conditions) is compared with the experimental data in
  329. Fig.4. Close agreement between the model steady
  330. state results and experimental data, especially near the
  331. surge point, is obtained. Table 1 shows the
  332. comparison between the surge point obtained from
  333. the model and the experimental surge point. As
  334. shown in figure 4 the experimental curve is
  335. sufficiently close to the theoretical curve near the
  336. surge point. Such results can be attributed to the fact
  337. that one-dimensional modeling is quite close to the
  338. nature of surge.

  342. Uniform Inlet Flow
  343. In steady control, a fixed fraction of the mass flow
  344. rate is removed through a valve which can be placed
  345. at the diffuser or at the interstage of compression
  346. system, or a fixed fraction of the mass flow rate is
  347. injected into the first stage of the compressor. Figure
  348. 5 shows the static pressure at the compressor face
  349. versus time. Steady bleeding from diffuser, equal to
  350. 4.3% of mean mass flow rate was applied to the
  351. unstable operating condition at point B (shown in
  352. Fig.6). As shown, this amount of bleeding can
  353. remove surge disturbance.

  358. To study the effect of bleeding, steady bleeding from
  359. diffuser and also interstage (second stage) was
  360. considered. Bleeding equal to 3 % and 4.3 % of mean
  361. flow rate was applied to the unstable condition at
  362. point B. For 70 % and 100 % of bleeding which is
  363. equal to 3 % and 4.3 % of mean flow rate
  364. respectively, the stable controlled operating points are
  365. shown as points C and D in Fig.6. In Fig.6, the
  366. horizontal axis is the mass flow rate after bleed valve
  367. and the vertical axis is the static pressure ratio of the
  368. compressor. For 70 % of bleeding (3 % of mean flow
  369. rate), the computed mass flow rate is 15.75 kg/s and
  370. the corresponding overall static pressure ratio is 2.37.
  371. For 100 % of bleeding (4.3 % of mean flow rate), the
  372. mass flow rate is 15.65 kg/s and the static pressure
  373. ratio is 2.35. This reduction of static pressure ratio is
  374. due to removing more compressed air in 100 %
  375. bleeding.
  376. To investigate the effect of interstage bleeding,
  377. the same amount of bleeding (4.3 % of mean flow
  378. rate) was applied to the unstable condition at point B.
  379. Mass is removed from the interstage (second stage)
  380. and the new operating point is shown as point E
  381. which has the mass flow rate of 15.6 kg/s and static
  382. pressure ratio of 2.38. As illustrated, interstage
  383. bleeding results in higher pressure ratio.
  384. 3.3 % of the mean flow rate was injected into the
  385. first stage, during the unstable condition at point B, to
  386. study the effect of injection on the performance of the
  387. compressor. The new stable operating condition is
  388. point F in Fig.6. The mass flow rate of point F is
  389. 15.85 and the corresponding pressure ratio is 2.5.
  390. Fig. 6 Compressor characteristic performance for
  391. steady control
  392. The steady bleeding is inefficient and must be turned
  393. off during design operation. In unsteady control, the
  394. removed mass flow rate is linked to the pressure
  395. fluctuation upstream of the compressor. Although
  396. such strategy is not possible in one-dimensional
  397. analysis, using periodic functions for bleeding mass
  398. flow rate is shown to improve the stable operating
  399. range. The amount of mass, which is removed from
  400. diffuser, is linked to the amplitude and frequency of
  401. surge disturbance. The amplitude and frequency of
  402. pressure fluctuation during surge is found to be 12
  403. Kpa and 80 Hz from Fig.5.
  404. Three forms of periodic functions are used for
  405. bleeding control. In the following equations, K1 , K2 ,
  406. K3 ,  are chosen to be 1, 0.9, 0.5 and I/4
  407. respectively:
  408. (5)
  409. (6)
  410. (7)
  411. In the above equations, "P1", "t", "Am", "f" and ""
  412. are respectively ambient pressure, time, amplitude,
  413. frequency of the fluctuations and the phase lag. The
  414. constants K1, K2, K3 are chosen to ensure the bleed
  415. rate is less than 3 % of mean flow rate. The parameter
  416. m& B is averaged mass flow rate and is set to be 2.3 %
  417. of the mean mass flow rate. Figure 7 is given for
  418. better understanding the trend of control function.
  419. Results are shown in figure 8. Point G, H and I are
  420. new stable operating points corresponding to equation
  421. 5-7 respectively. For point G the computed mass flow
  422. rate is 15.6 kg/s and the static pressure ratio is 2.4.
  423. Point H has mass flow rate of 15.7 kg/s and static
  424. pressure ratio of 2.37. Point I has the minimum mass
  425. flow rate equal to 15.5 kg/s with the static pressure
  426. ratio of 2.37. The minimum mass flow rate obtained
  427. is related to the equation 7 and the maximum pressure
  428. ratio is related to equation 5. This behavior may be
  429. attributed to the effect of different shapes of the
  430. equations shown in figure 7. The similar shapes to the
  431. nature of surge may lead to higher pressure ratios or
  432. lower mass flow rates. As shown, smaller amount of
  433. compressed air need to be removed in unsteady
  434. control, and also it leads to operating point with

  491. Variable Area Diffuser
  492. To study the effect of variable area diffuser, which is
  493. located before the burner, the area of the diffuser is
  494. changed with time. The area variation is linked to the
  495. amplitude and frequency of surge disturbance. The
  496. following periodic control law was chosen in this
  497. study:
  498. (8)
  499. DAd is the design area of the diffuser. Constants K4
  500. and K5 are chosen to be 0.2 and 0.1 respectively so
  501. that the area variation does not exceed 2.5% of the
  502. design area.
  503. This control law was applied to the unstable
  504. operating condition at point B shown in figure 6.
  505. Figure 9 shows the inlet mass flow rate versus time.
  506. As illustrated, using an appropriate form of diffuser
  507. area variation eliminates the surge instability and
  508. leads to stable controlled condition.
  509. The area of diffuser decreases periodically by
  510. using the above control law. As a result, compressor
  511. back pressure decreases periodically. Reduction of
  512. back pressure has the same effect of bleeding.
  513. Therefore, variable area diffuser is capable of
  514. eliminating compressor instabilities.

  522. that can affect compressor instabilities. AS suggested
  523. by Tesch and Steenken [24], the following form for
  524. modeling of the perturbation was considered:
  525. (9)
  526. In the above equation, (PT) SS is the steady state inlet
  527. total pressure, "t" is time and "fdis" is the perturbation
  528. frequency. Instead of amplitude, a parameter named
  529. amplitude-percent was used.
  530. To study the engine response, we first applied the
  531. above sinusoidal perturbation with the amplitudepercent
  532. of 5 and frequency of 10 Hz to the stable
  533. condition at surge point. Since no surge disturbance
  534. was observed, we increased the frequency at constant
  535. amplitude-percent. The first surge disturbance, with

  558. frequency of perturbation was increased to 30 Hz.

  565. The same methodology was applied to the stable
  566. operating condition at surge point for other
  567. magnitudes of amplitude-percent. Figure 11 shows
  568. the minimum frequency of the perturbations that
  569. leads to surge for various amplitude-percent
  570. magnitudes. It also indicates the surge frequency.
  571. Steady Control Results
  572. To study the effect of steady bleeding, 4 % of the
  573. mean mass flow rate was extracted from the diffuser.
  574. This amount of bleeding was applied to the stable
  575. operating condition at point A which has been
  576. destabilized with inlet perturbation of total pressure
  577. of amplitude percent of 5 and frequency of 30 Hz. As
  578. shown in Fig.11 this perturbation is capable of
  579. destabilizing the stable condition at point A which is
  580. closed to the surge point (Fig.12). Fig.13 shows the
  581. inlet mass flow rate versus time for this case. As
  582. illustrated, this amount of bleeding can remove surge
  583. disturbance completely.
  584. Fig. 13 Inlet mass flow rate (Steady bleeding).
  585. Table. 2 Minimum amount of required steady
  586. bleeding for various inlet perturbations.
  587. To obtain the minimum mass flow rate
  588. needed to be removed for stabilizing the instabilities,
  589. we reduce the steady removed mass. Bleeding equal
  590. to 2.2 % of mean mass flow rate was found to be
  591. optimum. The same methodology was used in the
  592. case of perturbations of higher amplitude percent. The

  596. frequency of perturbations was chosen from Fig.11 to
  597. ensure that the inlet perturbations can destabilize the
  598. compressor. Table.2 shows the minimum amount of
  599. steady bleeding needed for various amplitude percent
  600. magnitudes. As the amplitude percent increases,
  601. higher amount of mass flow rate is needed to be
  602. removed in order to stabilize the instabilities.
  603. Unsteady Control Results
  604. The frequency of surge disturbance is chosen from
  605. Fig.11 and the pressure fluctuation during surge is
  606. also obtained from computations for each case. As
  607. discussed, unsteady one dimensional bleeding with
  608. periodic forms, can reduce the amount of bleeding.
  609. Therefore, it is more efficient. A sinusoidal form
  610. (equation 10) is used to consider periodic bleeding.
  611. (10)
  612. In equation 10, P1, t, Am, and f are the ambient
  613. pressure, time, the amplitude and the frequency of the
  614. fluctuations, respectively. "" is the phase lag and is
  615. chosen to be /4. mB is the averaged mass flow rate
  616. which is needed to be removed. The constant K4 is
  617. chosen to ensure that the bleed rate does not exceed
  618. 20 % of the averaged removed mass flow rate. The
  619. above control law was applied to the same operating
  620. conditions in steady part. Tab.3 shows the minimum
  621. averaged mass flow rate needed to be removed in
  622. order to stabilize the instabilities. As shown, smaller
  623. amount of compressed air need to be removed in
  624. unsteady control, as compared to steady case.
  625. CONCLUSION
  626. A one-dimensional unsteady computer code has been
  627. developed which enables simulation of surge
  628. disturbance propagation through entire jet engines.
  629. The effect of active control on the instabilities was
  630. studied and the following observations and lower
  631. conclusions were obtained:
  632. 1- steady control can eliminate surge disturbance. If
  633. the amount of bleeding air increases, the new stable
  634. operating point has lower mass flow rate and pressure
  635. ratio.
  636. 2- using air injection, as the control system, the new
  637. operating point has higher pressure ratio and also
  638. higher mass flow rate, as compared to air bleeding.
  639. 3- if the bleeding air is injected into the first stage of
  640. the compressor, the required amount of bleeding
  641. reduces.
  642. 4- Interstage bleeding leads to a new stable operating
  643. point with higher pressure ratios compared to
  644. bleeding from the diffuser, so it is more efficient.
  645. 5- smaller amount of compressed air need to be
  646. removed in unsteady control. This leads to a new
  647. operating point with higher pressure ratio.
  648. 6- compressor back pressure reduces as the diffuser
  649. area decreases. Therefore, variable area diffuser can
  650. be used to stabilize compressor instabilities.
  651. 7- inlet perturbations can destabilize the stable
  652. operating condition at design point.
