The following terminology applies in the context of Transient Blade Row modeling:
Turbo Component - is the sector of blades in a given blade row that are being modeled in the analysis. Transient Rotor-stator analyses involve at least two components, one rotating and one stationary component.
Blade Flutter - used here to describe the one-way coupling between a prescribed blade motion and the effect it has on its surrounding fluid (more properly referred to as forced response).
Conventional Periodicity - are periodic boundaries with no special time lag for phase-shift treatment. In such cases, the rotating and stationary components are not necessarily periodic to each other at different instances of time.
Reference Solution (or Full-domain modeling) - refers to solving a transient blade row problem using an ensemble of blade passages where the pitch ratio is one.
Transient Blade Row methods - are the CFX Transient Blade Row methods:
