Abstract
The unsteady airloads generated by the vibrations of turbomachine blades operating at transonic Mach numbers are predicted by a linearized potential flow analysis whose unsteady aerodynamics model encompasses the effects of blade geometry, nonzero mean pressure variation across the blade row, high frequency blade motion, and shock motion, all within the framework of a linearized frequency-domain formulation. A numerical solution for the entire unsteady flow field is determined by matching a solution covering an extended blade passage region to another covering, and extending beyond, the supersonic region(s) adjacent to a blade surface. Results are given for cascades of double circular arc and flat plate blades, in order to demonstrate the unsteady analysis and to partially illustrate the effects of blade geometry, inlet Mach number, vibration frequency and shock motion on unsteady response.
