    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a novel method to detect an imminent compressor stall by using nonlinear feature extraction algorithms. The present disclosure focuses on the small nonlinear disturbances prior to deep surge and introduces a novel approach to identify these disturbances using nonlinear feature extraction algorithms including phase-reconstruction of time-serial signals and evaluation of a parameter called approximate entropy. The technique is applied to stall data sets from a high-speed centrifugal compressor that unexpectedly entered rotating stall during a speed transient and a multi-stage axial compressor with both modal- and spike-type stall inception. In both cases, nonlinear disturbances appear, in terms of spikes in approximate entropy, prior to surge. The presence of these pre-surge spikes indicates imminent compressor stall.

    摘要: A method of optimizing probe placement in a turbomachine is disclosed which includes determining wavenumber (Wn) of N dominant wavelets generated by upstream and downstream stators and blade row interactions formed around an annulus, establishing a design matrix A utilized in developing flow properties around the annulus having a dimension of m×(2N+1), iteratively modifying probe positions placed around the annulus and determining a condition number of the design matrix A for each set of probe positions until a predetermined threshold is achieved for the condition number representing optimal probe position, wherein the condition number is defined as norm A·norm A+, wherein A+ represents inverse of A for a square matrix and a Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse of A for a rectangular matrix.

    摘要: A method for reconstructing nonuniform circumferential flow in a turbomachine is disclosed which includes receiving one or more wavenumbers of interest, receiving positional information for a plurality of circumferential positions of a plurality of instrumentation probes, receiving signals from the plurality of instrumentation probes to generate a spatially under-sampled data, and from the spatially under-sampled data determining a multi-wavelet approximation reconstructing circumferential flow field.
