Abstract
Recent trends in numerical studies suggest the possible need for scale-resolving simulations for resolving shock oscillations on transonic compressors, the sources of which are unclear. The effect of promoting transition on the suction side upstream of self-sustained shock oscillations from a laminar shock/boundary-layer interaction (altitude conditions) in transonic compressors is studied using implicit large-eddy simulation, as well as experiments in a transonic cascade. The experiment is performed at conditions leading to different shock structures, and the shock behavior is captured with high-speed schlieren imaging. The Rolls-Royce HYDRA in-house code is employed for the numerical simulations. Trends in the change of oscillation behavior are discussed. The work addresses the fundamentally different behavior between an idealized quasi-2D LES case and an experimental cascade. This suggests that a simplification of the shock oscillation problem to a more canonical form is needed in order to investigate the oscillation mechanism itself experimentally and validate the CFD of the mechanism before returning to more complex cases.
