Abstract

This study aims at evaluating the feasibility and the accuracy of a Wall-Modeled Large Eddy Simulation of an actual aeronautical multistage axial high-pressure compressor. The computational domain is composed of 37 blades and a geometrically complex recirculating cavity. The numerical method TurboAVBP is able to handle such a technical challenge thanks to its unstructured and massively parallel approach as well as dedicated rotor-stator interface treatments. The influence of grid resolution, from less than 100 millions to more than 1 billion of cells, is particularly evaluated. The intermediate grid correctly predicts the global aerodynamic performances up to the lowest mass flow rate regime. In comparing with time-resolved measurements, the finest grid is shown to accurately predict flow within rotors, especially in their tip regions that are critical for performances and stability of the whole compressor.
