The objective of the investigation is as follows: to establish relations between the steady state mean flow distortion generated during water ingestion into an axial-flow compressor and (a) characteristic length and time scales pertaining to (1) the centrifugal action and (2) the heat and mass transfer processes and (b) aerodynamic parameters based on blade geometry, aspect ratio and blade loading. Analytical and experimental results are presented for a small compressor to illustrate the extent of the distortion introduced as a function of (1) the operating speed and (2) the mass-based water content in the ingested mixture. Methods of scaling the effects in compressors of different sizes are discussed.
