Strip distortion generator for simulating inlet flow distortion in gas turbine engine ground test facilities

A methodology has been developed to generate a non-uniform/distorted inlet flow field to test a gas turbine engine in ground test facilities. The distorted flow field is generated by positioning radial and circumferential strips of varying widths upstream of the Aerodynamic Interface Plane. The inte...
