Abstract
The occurrence and sensitivity of acoustic feedback loops was investigated for a linear high-pressure turbine (HPT) vane cascade at realistic operating conditions, i.e. isentropic exit conditions of Re = 570, 000 and M = 0.92. Forced compressible Navier–Stokes simulations were conducted to study the temporal response of various base flows to an initial small-amplitude pulse. One of the objectives was to assess the impact the quality of the base flow has on the instability behaviour, i.e. whether base flows obtained from computationally more affordable approaches such as Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) produce similar results as those obtained from highly resolved large-eddy simulation..
