Abstract
In Chap. 4 the different setup possibilities have been explored, defining an ultimate numerical configuration that shall be used to study aeroacoustic phenomena at three different working points. However, it seems appropriate to first described mean flow behavior at the studied operating conditions, which range from best efficiency point (BEP) to near surge conditions at 160 krpm (the surge side of this isospeed). To do so, time-averaged values of fluid variables will be displayed in the different regions of the compressor in this chapter. Section A.3.2 explains the approach followed to perform the time-averaging and Sect. A.2 describes the postprocessing surfaces that are used throughout this chapter.
