Abstract
Abstract The entire compression system of DGEN380 was selected to study the degradation of aerodynamic characteristics caused by erosion of the leading edge. Numerical simulations under different degrees of leading edge erosion were performed. It was found that the leading edge erosion causes a significant decrease in operability from 70 % of the blade height to the tip, and mainly affects the subsequent flow field in the bypass. At 90 % of blade height, the isentropic efficiency and total pressure ratio of the blade with leading edge erosion are reduced compared to the origin blade. Afterwards, the thrust equation was introduced to analyze the effect of leading edge erosion on the thrust loss under different operating conditions of the aircraft. Among the three operating conditions, the thrust loss rate of the cruise condition was the largest, which provided a reference for the subsequent evaluation of the blade repair condition.
