Abstract

This paper numerically investigated the influence of bleed pressure on the shock-wave/boundary-layer interaction in a transonic compressor stator with a row of suction holes. These suction holes are arranged on the suction surface in the spanwise direction. Six different bleed pressure ratios are studied at an inlet Mach number of 1.0. Results show that the reduction in the pressure loss increases as the bleed pressure decreases, and the maximum relative decline is 36.4 % when the flow loss caused by the suction flow path is taken into account. The bleeding of suction holes changes the shock wave structure, and the modified shock wave structure is three-dimensional. As the bleed pressure decreases, the tangential momentum of boundary layer increases. A strong spanwise variation in the boundary layer is observed downstream of the suction hole. Turning the flow direction and creating a favorable pressure gradient are key reasons for controlling boundary layer separation.
