18.3.7. Transient Blade Row Model Parameters

ps max coeff loops

Type

Integer

Default Value

3

Description

This parameter controls the maximum number of coefficient loops in the initialization and phase shifted startup cycles of the Fourier Transform model. This parameter applies only to cases that do not model any transient rotor stator interfaces using the Fourier Transform model.

ps max coeff loops trs

Type

Integer

Default Value

3

Description

This parameter controls the maximum number of coefficient loops in the initialization and phase shifted startup cycles of the Fourier Transform model. This parameter applies only to cases that model at least one transient rotor stator interface using the Fourier Transform model.

ps number periodic cycles

Type

Integer

Default Value

2

Description

Defines the number of periodic cycles of initialization of the Fourier Transform model. The purpose of the cycles is to initialize the Fourier coefficients before the start of phase shifting. The length of these cycles is the period of the disturbance being modeled. This parameter applies only to cases that do not model any transient rotor stator interfaces using the Fourier Transform model.

ps number periodic cycles trs

Type

Integer

Default Value

2

Description

Defines the number of periodic cycles of initialization of the Fourier Transform model. The purpose of the cycles is to initialize the Fourier coefficients before the start of phase shifting. The length of these cycles is the period of the disturbance being modeled. This parameter applies only to cases that model at least one transient rotor stator interface using the Fourier Transform model.

ps number startup cycles

Type

Integer

Default Value

1

Description

This parameter controls the number of phase shifted startup cycles of the Fourier Transform model. The purpose of the cycles is to limit the maximum number of coefficient loops at the start of phase shifting. The length of these cycles is the period of the disturbance being modeled. This parameter is applicable to inlet disturbance or flutter cases.

ps reconstr mflow from sfc

Type

Logical

Default Value

t

Description

This is a flag that controls the reconstruction of the mass flow at the pitchwise periodic interfaces from the accumulated Fourier coefficients for the Fourier Transform model. This parameter applies only to cases that do not model any transient rotor stator interfaces using the Fourier Transform model.

ps reconstr mflow from sfc trs

Type

Logical

Default Value

t

Description

This is a flag that controls the reconstruction of the mass flow at the pitchwise periodic interfaces from the accumulated Fourier coefficients for the Fourier Transform model. This parameter applies only to cases that model at least one transient rotor stator interface using the Fourier Transform model.

ps relax sngl fourier coeff value

Type

Real

Default Value

0.9

Description

This is a relaxation parameter applied to the accumulation of Fourier coefficients for the Fourier Transform model. This parameter applies only to cases that do not model any transient rotor stator interfaces using the Fourier Transform model.

ps relax sngl fourier coeff value trs

Type

Real

Default Value

0.9

Description

This is a relaxation parameter applied to the accumulation of Fourier coefficients for the Fourier Transform model. This parameter applies only to cases that model at least one transient rotor stator interface using the Fourier Transform model.

ha optimization level

Type

Integer

Default Value

3

Description

This parameter selects between different built-in algorithms for improving the rate of solution convergence. This parameter has no effect on the results obtained for a converged solution. Set this parameter to 0 to revert to the behavior of Release 2019 R3 and earlier. Other valid values are: 1, 2, 3. If your case fails to converge, changing the value of this parameter might help.
