Abstract
The aim of the paper is to explore the influence of the reversed blade-angle slot casing treatment (RBSCT) and its axial deflected angle (ADA) on the compressor performance and stability, and to reveal the mechanism that the change in ADA of the RBSCT influences the effect to broaden the compressor stable working range. The NASA Rotor 35 is used as the object of the investigation, and four RBSCTs with ADA of −15°, −30°, −45° and −60° are designed and investigated by unsteady numerical simulation. The results show that as the absolute value of the axial deflected angle increases, the capacity to improve the compressor stability of the RBSCT increases and then decreases. The unsteadiness of the injection and suction flows formed by the reversed blade angle slot plays an important role in the removal of the low-velocity zone. When ADA is −30°, the unsteadiness amplitude of the injection and suction flows is significantly higher than those of the other three. Consequently, the RBSCT with −30° ADA obtains the maximum stall margin improvement of 17.41% and the maximum design point efficiency improvement of 1.06% among the four RBSCTs.
