A Qualitative Numerical Analysis of Rotor-Casing Interactions in Centrifugal Compressors of Helicopter Engines
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In experimental and numerical investigations of unilateral contact and friction induced rotor-casing interactions, a variety of complex phenomena is expected. Although most of the features of the structural responses can be explained within a simplifying linear framework, the nonlinear nature of contact and friction forces induce complicated responses which require an appropriate methodology to be conveniently analyzed. The presented work focuses on a thorough numerical exploration of such undesired events in an attempt to provide a dedicated systematic method of analysis. Interaction simulations are carried out on the centrifugal compressor of a modern helicopter engine, for which it is assumed that the casing is rigidly distorted along a mathematical shape exhibiting distinct nodal diameters. The proposed work focuses on linear geometric aspects, such as cyclic symmetry and spatial aliasing of engine orders on nodal diameters as well as nonlinear attributes, such as sub- and super-harmonic participations in the response, in order to properly characterize the dynamics of the interaction. The results are presented as space and time two-dimensional Fourier transforms of the numerically predicted response. Dominant responses are visible along time harmonics of the forcing frequency imposed by the assumed shape of the casing. It is observed that the participation of some nodal diameters in the response is a consequence of both the aliasing effect and superharmonic forcing terms.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
