COMPRESSOR AERODYNAMICS

Organised by the Brandenburg University of Technology (Germany), the seminar deals with the topic Compressor Aerodynamics: Cycle process requirements, aerodynamic design process, performance maps, important metrics, three-dimensional flow phenomena and blading, compressor operating behaviour, measures to enhance compressor performance, compressor test, compressor life cycle and in-service challenges.

Learning outcomes:

After participating in the module, the students have in-depth knowledge that is required for the performance analysis of compressors and various aerodynamic phenomena. They can design a compressor for propulsion applications as well as analyse existing ones and use existing methods to modify the compressors for other interdisciplinary applications.

Objectives:

• Comprehension of all steps of the aerodynamic design process.
• Insight into the operating behaviour of a compressor.
• Knowledge of methods to improve compressor performance.
• Understanding of important aspects of compressor test.

Teaching language: English.

1. Mode of Delivery: online live and on-site – online materials provided by the teachers in EUNICE Moodle Platform.

2. Learning Resources and Tools: PowerPoint slides will be provided prior to the lecture.

Units:

• Introduction: history, cycle process, compressor types, design aspects
• Aerodynamic design process: 1D / 2D / 3D design
• Compressor performance: understanding and measures for performance improvement
• Test and life cycle: important aspects during test, in-service challenges and solutions

• EUNICE student: those enrolled as a student (BA, MA) in one of the universities of EUNICE European University alliance.
• Language: English
  
• A basic knowledge of fluid dynamics and engine thermodynamic cycle is helpful. Recommended for Master and bachelor students of mechanical
  engineering.
