What is it about?

A simulation of the performance of a passive stability control method for compression systems. Casing treatment, in the form of studs protruding off the casing into the duct, is studied through computational simulations. The computations show a potential for its successful application.

Why is it important?

This form of casing treatment, if implemented physically as part of a propulsion system, could be a simple way to bring stability on the compression system when adverse operating conditions are encountered.

Perspectives

This form of casing treatment has not been found by the authors in literature. Then, this would be among the first or the few formal studies on this form of casing treatment. Here, two geometries of protruding structures are explored. Currently the authors are testing variations of these designs by dimensions and also other geometries. The possibilities are many.
