This paper presents results of aerodynamic enhancement of axial compressors utilizing optimum natural aspiration through a circumferential slot made within the casing wall upstream the rotor blades row. The method of investigation is based on numerical simulation of flow field. Geometries of the slot walls were optimized to find the maximum stall margin and pressure ratio of the compressor. The optimum case is accompanied by boosting more momentum within the blades tip region through the slot. Consequently, tip leakage vortex flow weakens and compressor stability margin increases. Final results showed that in comparison to the untreated casing, the optimum geometry of the slot causes the total pressure ratio and stall margin to increase by 4.2% and 3%, respectively. This state-of-the-art technique is simple and economic which can be easily implemented in practical cases while the compressor is exposed to commencement of flow instabilities in the forms of the rotating stall or surge phenomena.

In this study, a fish scale structure with low viscous drag was proposed and applied to the suction surface of a compressor cascade to reduce total pressure loss and suppress corner separation, a key source of compressor inefficiency. By using CFD simulations, the biomimetic structure was identified and integrated into the cascade design. To evaluate its effects, we analyzed secondary flow structures using 2D projected streamlines, axial velocity density (AVD), and vortex visualization techniques.

In this paper, a novel Multi-loop Moving Coil Linear Compressor (M-MC-LC) is studied, in which the piston is driven by the Co-core Bilateral Reverse Coil (CBRC) in a reciprocating motion within the magnetic array. The DC excitation technique is introduced to address the phenomenon that the piston is axially offset under the influence of gas force. In order to clarify the effect of DC excitation on the performance of the moving-coil linear compressor, the compressor prototype is developed, and the dynamic performance testing test-bed and the refrigeration performance test-bed are built to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze the relevant performance parameters of the compressor from theoretical and experimental aspects.
