Time-delay-locked dynamic mode decomposition for extracting flow patterns of compressor in experiment

Abstract

Dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) is widely used in extracting the main features of high-dimensional nonlinear systems in computational fluid dynamics. However, it cannot be directly applied to real compressors due to the limitations of data acquisition over the entire flow field. In order to overcome this limitation, our paper proposes a time-delay-locked DMD algorithm. It combines the idea of phase locking, Hankel time-delay method, and DMD method. Based on it, the flow patterns are successfully extracted and the unsteady flow phenomena including rotating stall and rotating instability are explained as modal waves. Multi-peak spectrum nearly 1/2 BPF observed under off-design RI conditions is explained. In addition, multi-scale of rotating stall is analyzed and shock wave is captured.
