A new intake distortion design system for research

Abstract

The intake distortion experiment is one of the important methods for aero-engine aerodynamic stability assessment. In this paper, in order to overcome the shortcomings of traditional design methods such as low accuracy in approximating the target distortion map and many experimental iterations, a design system is proposed to design the target map distortion network using Fluent based on the mapping relationship between screen distance and porous media. Finally, the steady-state total pressure test system is designed, and the physical design of the distortion generator and wind tunnel test are completed, with the error of distortion index of less than 1.5%. The test results show that the design system can simulate the distortion requirements with high accuracy and efficiency.
