Reduced pressure rise in numerical simulation

Julian121 · July 9, 2019, 12:14

I am modelling a 1.5 compressor stage.

I have experimental data at inlet to bell-mouth, IGV, Rotor and Stator.

I am using mass flow and total temperature at inlet and static pressure at outlet boundary conditions.

However, the numerical model does not rise static pressure and total pressure as the experimental data.

The difference is minimal but I do not understand why this happens.

I have checked the dimensions, boundary conditions and blade angles and everything seems right.

Is there a way to check this problem?
