Abstract

The most important flow behaviour of supersonic compressor cascades is the shock wave boundary layer interaction (SWBLI). Large eddy simulation (LES) and multiple analysing methods are applied in current study to capture more details of the flow field. It is noted that the LES can catch the dual peaks feature near the SWBLI region with respect to the experimental results. Besides, SWBLI is not only the main losses source in the cascade, but also the most important origin of the unsteadiness behaviour. The high frequency signals correspond to the coherent structure in the boundary layer and dissipate downstream in the cascade, while the low frequency signals relate to the motion of the reflection point of the passage oblique shock wave and dominate the frequency spectrum downstream.
