Abstract

The main focus of the present work is to discuss an aeroacoustic scaling approach that ensures both aerodynamic and aeroacoustic similarity between a given test rig and an engine. For this purpose, a stator vane row of a four-stage high-speed axial compressor (4AC) based on the test rig at the Institute of Turbomachinery and Fluid Dynamics (TFD) at Leibniz University Hannover is scaled to fit into the TFD’s Aeroacoustic Wind Tunnel (AWT). A numerical investigation based on multiple modelling approaches is performed to verify a similar aeroacoustic behaviour in both test rigs. Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulations are carried out to assess the aerodynamic characteristics of the vane rows. The aeroacoustic modelling consists of unsteady harmonic balance simulations with a single passage setup and an upstream excitation to account for the rotor-stator interaction and the occurrence of scattered frequencies or acoustic modes. The CFD results show that aerodynamic similarity was achieved over a wide operating range. Moreover, the CAA results indicate that the modal transmission behaviour of the vane row could be matched reasonably well for both test rigs. The resulting numerically validated aeroacoustic scaling approach can be used to reduce the experimental effort for aeroacoustic measurements in turbomachinery.
