The Analysis Of Surge
Abstract
Recently, considerable attention has been given to the phenomenon of surge in compressors and pumps. Typically, the model under study is a Helmholtz resonator and driver where the flow in the delivery duct to the resonator is assumed incompressible. The objective of this analytical study is to extend this model to one more applicable to field situations and to discuss the impact of some of the added effects. In particular, these effects are: heat transfer in the exhaust chamber, the action of the momentum flux on the fluid boundaries in the duct and the compressibility of the gas in the delivery duct. The equations retain their nonlinear character and are solved numerically. The instability condition is reported and discussed.
