Time accurate transient blade row simulation approaches are required when there is a close flow coupling between the blade rows, and for fundamentally transient flow phenomena such as aeromechanical analysis. Transient blade row simulations can be computationally impractical when all of the blade passages must be modeled to account for the unequal pitch between the blade rows. Most turbomachines consist of multiple stages, further exacerbating the computational challenge. In order to reduce the computational cost, time accurate pitch-change methods are utilized so that only a sector of the turbomachine is modeled. The extension of the time transformation pitch-change method to multistage machines has recently shown good promise in predicting both aerodynamic performance and resolving dominant blade passing frequencies for a subsonic compressor, while keeping the computational cost affordable. In this work, a modified 1.5 stage Purdue transonic compressor is examined. The goal is to assess the ability of the multistage time-transformation method to accurately predict the aerodynamic performance and transient flow details in the presence of transonic blade row interactions. The results from the multistage time-transformation simulation are compared in detail with a transient full-wheel simulation. Flow details are examined including an FFT analysis of select signals, and the onset of stall is compared between all methods. The relative computational effort is compared between all of the analysis methods.
