Abstract – Design optimization of axial compressors using numerical simulations requires huge
computational efforts. Therefore, the design process needs to be started from a reasonable design
point. In the current study, a design tool is developed for the preliminary design of transonic
compressors using different correlations of cascade experimental data for the shock losses and the
deviation angle. A parametric study is performed to select the design parameters for optimum fan
performance in terms of efficiency and surge margin. The designed fan is tested during off design
operation and simulated numerically using computational fluid dynamics to verify the developed
design tool. The numerical simulations of designed fan show good agreement with the preliminary
design results. Copyright © 2013 Praise Worthy Prize S.r.l. - All rights reserved.

A parametric study is performed to investigate the
effect of different design parameters on the fan
performance and to choose parameters such as the
rotational speed, blade geometry parameters and the
stagger angle of the rotor and stator. The fan
performance is computed in terms of the surge margin,

design conditions. The results indicate that small leading Fig. 8. Variation of the total pressure ratio and isentropic efficiency

maximum pressure ratio is obtained at a stagger angle of
22.5o for the stator.
The inlet to the first rotor of the fan has the largest
annulus area and consequently the first rotor has the
largest tip radius.
Therefore, the rotational speed is limited by the blade
tip speed of the first rotor which is selected to be 450
m/s. The rotational speed has a maximum value of 10200
rpm.
Although, the isentropic efficiency and the total
pressure ratio of the stage increase by increasing the
rotational speed, the surge margin decreases as shown
later in Fig. 12.

This makes the operating speed to be limited to certain

losses, profile losses, deviation angle and the design

initial geometry for the numerical simulations. A
parametric study of compressor blade geometry is
performed to achieve optimum design and off-design
operations in terms of fan efficiency and surge margin.
The blade geometry is defined in terms of five
parameters for a multiple circular arc MCA-profile. In
addition, a parametric study is performed on the stagger
angles and the rotational speed. The off design operation
of the design shape produced by the preliminary method
is performed with CFD. The parametric study is also
simulated numerically with CFD and the results are
compared with those obtained by the low fidelity
