Forward-swept and back-swept transonic rotor geometries were generated from a reference design using a new 3D surface representation for blade geometry. Flow fields and performance were calculated using a thin-layer Navier-Stokes code and rotational stresses were calculated using a finite-element code. Grid generation problems, due to interfacing with the new geometry package, were resolved to obtain a consistent data set that isolated the effect of sweep on rotor performance. The intent of the study was to exercise and demonstrate the new geometry package by introducing sweep into an existing rotor design. The package is intended for aero-structural-manufacturing optimization.

Test results obtained from a two-stage fan are analysed and the reasons that caused the design performance target not to be attained are presented in this paper. Addition of a partspan shroud on rotor 1 caused higher losses and changed radial distribution of parameters. Modification on the flowpath and chord length of stator 1 resulted in excessively high inlet Mach number and flow separation in the hub region. The high load and high incidence at the hub of rotor 2 caused higher losses and reduced stall margin of the fan.

High-speed pressure measurements of a transonic compressor rotor-stator stage and rotor-only configuration during stall and surge are presented. Rotational speed data showed the difference between the rotor-only case and rotor-stator stage. The rotor-only case stalled and remained stalled until the control throttle was opened. In the rotor-stator stage the compressor surged entering a cyclical stalling and then un-stalling pattern. An array of pressure probes was mounted in the case wall over the rotor for both configurations of the machine. The fast response probes were sampled at 196 608 Hz as the rotor was driven into stall. Inspection of the raw data signal allowed the size and speed of the stall cell during its growth to be investigated. Post-processing of the simultaneous signals of the casing pressure showed the development of the stall cell from the point of inception and allowed the structure of the stall cell to be viewed.
