CFD Analysis of the Multistage Axial Flowcompressor

Vyas P. B, Basia P. R

Abstract :

Axial flow compressor is used to get the compressed pressurized air as an input the gas turbine. Generally it is used in the aircraft engine and the industrial point of view. To get the maximum pressure ratio it is done with the multistage. Compressor is composed with the rotor and stator blades at each stage. Aerodynamic shapes of the blades play the major role to enhance the efficiency of the compressor in terms of the pressure ratio. In this work I want to focus on this blade’s geometry by changing various standard profiles like NACA and RAF (royal air force) to get the maximum output in terms to get the higher pressure ratio and number of stages which I want to reduce.
