The characteristic of unsteady flowfields on gas turbine, particularly on a rotor blade surface has been numerically investigated. The unsteady flow in a rotor blade passage as a result of wake/blade interaction is modeled by the inviscid flow approach, and solved by Euler equations using a time accurate marching scheme. Unsteady flow in the blade passage is induced by periodically moving a wake model across the passage inlet. The wake model used in this study is the Gaussian wate model in which the wake flow is assumed to be parallel with uniform static pressure and uniform relative total enthalpy. Numerical results show that for the case of Ps/Pr=1.5, the velocity and pressure distribution on the blade surfaces have much more complex profiles than for the case of Ps/Pr=1.0.

The flow in the turbomachinery is very unsteady due to the stator-rotor interaction. It has been indicated that the stator-rotor interaction has three distinct causes of unsteadiness: that is, the viscous vortex shedding, wake rotor interaction and potential stator-rotor interaction. In this paper, the mechanism of unsteady potential interaction and wake interaction in the stator-rotor stage flow is numerically investigated in two-dimensional view point. The numerical technique used is the upwind scheme of Van Leer's Flux Vector Splitting(FVS) and cubic spline interpolation is applied on zonal interface. Then, the flow field of a compressor stage composed of NACA 65410 is analyzed. Flow fields are found to be simulated reasonably by this method and the sensitivity due to back-pressure variation is more stronger than rotor-velocity variation.
