Choro-averaged Thermodynamic Spatial Average of Type 7

Thermodynamic Spatial Average of type 7 with Chorochronic Averaging.

see antares.treatment.TreatmentChoroReconstruct.TreatmentChoroReconstruct for the chorochronic reconstruction.

This treatment computes the time-averaged spatial mean of thermodynamic quantities with a type-7 formula. This formula is a weighted mean of 5 quantities. The weight may be the mass flow or the area.

This average is recommended for unsteady flows. Then, the input quantities should include many snapshots of an unsteady flow.

It must be applied on 2D plane sections resulting from a slice of an axisymmetric configuration. The coordinates are expressed in the cylindrical coordinate system (x, r, t). The rotation axis is the Cartesian ‘x’-coordinate.

Parameters

  • base: Base

    The base on which the treatment will be applied.

  • coordinates: list(str)

    The ordered coordinate names of the Cartesian system. example: [‘x’, ‘y’, ‘z’]

  • conservative: list(str), default= [‘rho’, ‘rhou’, ‘rhov’, ‘rhow’, ‘rhoE’]

    Names of conservative variables. example: [‘ro’, ‘rovx’, ‘rovy’, ‘rovz’, ‘roE’]

  • ref_values: (float, float), default= None

    Reference values (total pressure, total temperature) for averaging. This may be the values obtained in a previous section.

  • weights: str, default= ‘massflow’

    Weights for the averaging. Available massflow (default) or area.

  • def_points: list(tuple(float)), default= None

    List of coordinates of 2 points in the cylindrical coordinate system. The first point gives the location of the hub. The second point gives the location of the shroud.

  • extracts_step: int, default= 1

    The number of time iterations between two instants of the base.

  • nb_ite_rot: int

    The number of time iterations to describe a complete rotation.

  • nb_blade: int or ‘in_attr’, default= ‘in_attr’

    Number of blades of the current row. If ‘in_attr’, then each zone of the base must have an attribute ‘nb_blade’.

  • nb_blade_opp: int or list(int) or ‘in_attr’, default= ‘in_attr’

    Number of blades of the opposite row (or list of numbers of blades of the opposite rows in the case of multiple opposite rows). If ‘in_attr’, then each zone of the base must have an attribute ‘nb_blade_opp’.

  • omega_opp: float or list(float) or ‘in_attr’, default= ‘in_attr’

    Rotation speed of the opposite row (or list of rotation speeds of the opposite rows in the case of multiple opposite rows) expressed in radians per second. If ‘in_attr’, then each zone of the base must have an attribute ‘omega_opp’.

  • type: str, default= ‘fourier’

    The type of approach (‘fourier’ or ‘least_squares’) used to determine the amplitudes and phases of each interaction mode. If ‘fourier’, a DFT is performed: in the case of a single opposite row, the base should contain enough instants to cover the associated blade passage (‘nb_ite_rot’ / ‘extracts_step’ / ‘nb_blade_opp’); in the case of multiple opposite rows, the base should contain enough instants to cover a complete rotation (‘nb_ite_rot’ / ‘extracts_step’). If ‘least_squares’, a least-squares approach is used. For robustness and accuracy reasons, it is advised to have enough instants in the base to cover at least two blade passages (2 * ‘nb_ite_rot’ / ‘extracts_step’ / ‘nb_blade_opp’).

Preconditions

The conservative variables must be expressed with the relative velocity formulation in the Cartesian coordinate system. The cylindrical coordinate system must already be computed.
