Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the occurrence of aerodynamic instability of an aero-engine. SOLUTION: This system is arranged at the inlet of the rotor of an engine 200 separately from turbofan blades 202, 204, 206, 208, 210, 212, 214, and 216 and provided with a flatter sensor to generate a sensor signal to indicate resonance of a turbofan blade related to a stall flatter. From the sensor signal, a command signal containing a space Fourier component(SFC) of disturbance coinciding with the natural frequency of the mode of a given structure of a fan blade having a given diameter node and a real time amplitude component is generated by a control device.
Abstract:
The nozzle of an acoustic jet directs high momentum flux gas particles essentially tangentially into the boundary layer of the flow in a diffuser, an engine air inlet, a jet engine gas flow path or on the suction surface of an airfoil, the gas particles in the chamber of the tangential acoustic jet being replenished with approaching low momentum flux particles drawn from the gas flow in a direction normal to the surface, thereby to provide a net time-averaged flow of increased momentum flux particles to defer the onset of boundary layer separation and/or reduce the thickness of the boundary layer. The acoustic jet is driven by a gas pressure oscillation generator which may be a loudspeaker, a resonant solenoid piston, a cranked piston, or the like.

Date Jan. 3, 1997A technique for controlling compressor stall and surge is disclosed. In a gas turbine engine, static pressure asymmetry is sensed at a plurality of locations along the circumference of the compressor inlet. Time rate of change of the mass flow in the compressor is also estimated using pressure measurements in the compressor. A signal processor uses these signals to modulate a compressor bleed valve responsive to the level of flow property asymmetry, the time rate of change of the annulus average flow to enhance operability of the compressor.
