Abstract. In this paper the occurrence of flutter in a simplified blade cascade is analysed. The simplified blade cascade is formed by three flat plates, which perform a kinematic harmonic motion, each with a different inter-blade phase angle. The inter-blade phase angles are chosen in order for travelling wave mode of vibration to be present. The aim of the simulations is to determine the aerodynamic damping coefficients caused by the aerodynamic forces acting on the flat plates, which show whether flutter occurs. The non-linear system of Favre-averaged NavierStokes equations in ALE formulation completed by the Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model was chosen as the mathematical model. The simulations were performed using the developed inhouse CFD software based on the discontinuous Galerkin method, which offers high order of accuracy.

In this paper, a numerical simulation and experimental measurements of compressible viscous fluid flow in simplified blade cascade are compared. The cascade consists of five flat plates three of which perform prescribed harmonic motion. The computed unsteady velocity field is compared with experimental measurements at selected points. Moreover, the power spectral density corresponding to the frequency of harmonic motion is computed for both the numerical and experimental data and compared. The numerical simulation was performed using the developed in-house CFD software based on the discontinuous Galerkin method, which offers high order of accuracy.
