REDUCED-ORDER MODEL OF UNSTEADY FLOWS IN A TURBOMACHINERY FAN MODELED USING A NOVEL PROPER ORTHOGONAL DECOMPOSITION Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • Abstract This paper presents a novel, more efficient reduced-order model based on the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) for the prediction of flows in turbomachinery. To further reduce the computational time, the governing equations were written as a function of specific volume instead of density. This allowed for the pre-computation of the coefficients of the system of ordinary differential equations that describe the reduced-order model. A penalty method was developed to implement time-dependent boundary conditions and achieve a stable solution for the reduced-order model. Rotor 67 was used as a validation case for the reduced-order model, which was tested for both on- and off-reference conditions. This reduced-order model was shown to be more than 10,000 times faster than the full-order model.
