The fan and the compressor, as the first components in the\u0000engine's air path, are especially vulnerable to the effects of surface\u0000roughness. Debris ingestion, accumulation of grime, dust, or insect remnants,\u0000typically at low atmospheric conditions, over several cycles of operation are\u0000some major causes of surface roughness over the blade surfaces. The flow in\u0000compressor rotors is inherently highly complex. From the perspective of the\u0000component designers, it is thus important to study the effect of surface\u0000roughness on the performance and flow physics, especially at near-stall\u0000conditions. In this study, we examine the effect of surface roughness on flow\u0000physics such as shock-boundary layer interactions, tip and hub flow\u0000separations, the formation and changes in the critical points, and tip leakage\u0000vortices amongst other phenomena.

It is observed that from the\u0000onset of stall, to fully stalled conditions, the blockage varies from 21.7% to\u000059.6% from 90% span to the tip in the smooth case, and from 40.5% to 75.2%\u0000in the rough case. This significant blockage, caused by vortex breakdown and\u0000chaotic flow structures, leads to the onset of full rotor stall.","PeriodicalId":501125,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - Fluid Dynamics","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142212690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We recently demonstrated that\u00003D-GANs are capable of estimating fields with good accuracy by employing\u0000fully-resolved wall quantities (pressure and streamwise/spanwise wall shear\u0000stress on a grid with DNS resolution).

The impact of the reduction of the number of sensors on the\u0000quality of the flow reconstruction is assessed in terms of accuracy degradation\u0000and spectral length-scales involved.

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are among the\u0000most promising methodologies, due to their more accurate estimations and better\u0000perceptual quality. This work tackles this flow sensing problem in the vicinity\u0000of the wall, addressing for the first time the reconstruction of the entire\u0000three-dimensional (3-D) field with a single network, i.e. a 3-D GAN. With this\u0000methodology, a single training and prediction process overcomes the limitation\u0000presented by the former approaches based on the independent estimation of\u0000wall-parallel planes. The network is capable of estimating the 3-D flow field\u0000with a level of error at each wall-normal distance comparable to that reported\u0000from wall-parallel plane estimations and at a lower training cost in terms of\u0000computational resources.
