Abstract

Fundamental models of air column resonant surge are proposed. It is assumed that the flow in the suction pipe is incompressible but the effects of compressibility and pipe friction are taken into account in the discharge pipe. The characteristic equation is derived and the differences of onset condition and frequency from those of extended Helmholtz resonant surge are discussed. A reflection model considering the wave reflections at the compressor and throttle is also proposed to obtain better understanding. The results of characteristic equation and reflection models agree nicely. The results are validated by comparisons with experiments.
