Abstract
A stall inception model for transonic fan/compressors is presented in this paper. It can be shown that under some assumptions
the solution of unsteady flow field consists of pressure wave which propagates upstream or downstream, vortex wave and en-
tropy wave convected with the mean flow speed. By further using the mode-matching technique and applying the conservation
law and conditions reflecting the loss characteristics of a compressor in the inlet and outlet of the rotor or stator blade rows, a
group of homogeneous equations can be obtained from which the stability equation can be derived. Based on the analysis of the
unsteady phenomenon caused by casing treatments, the function of casing treatments has been modeled by a wall impedance
condition which has been included in the stability model through the eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenfunctions of the
system. Besides, the effect of shock waves in cascade channel on the stability prediction is also considered in the stall inception
model. Finally, some numerical analysis and experimental investigation are also conducted with emphasis on the mutual com-
parison.

flow features, which inevitably neglect many physical
details related to complicated transonic flow in cascade

results [40]. Fig. 8 is the predicting result for different

combinations of the three circumferential mode numbers

predicted stall inception quite approaches the experim-
ental data as shown in Fig. 8. The present model includes
both the effect of both shock loss and reflection on
various pressure waves. From the predicting results, it
seems that the main physical features of the stall
inception for transonic fan/compressors can be captured
in this way.
