On many occasions, fan or compressor stages have to face azimuthal flow distortion at inlet, which affects their performance and stability. These flow distortions can be caused by external events or by some particular geometrical features. The aim of this work is to propose a joined numerical and experimental analysis of the flow behavior in a single axial compressor stage under flow distortion. The distortions are generated by different grids that are placed upstream to the rotor. Experimentally, the flow analysis is based on the measurements obtained by a series of unsteady pressure sensors flush-mounted at the casing of the machine rotor. URANS computations are conducted using the elsA software. The flow distortion is simulated by a drop of stagnation pressure ratio at the inlet boundary condition. The study is focusing first on the ability of a pressure drop, imposed as an inlet boundary condition in CFD, to reproduce accurately the effect of a flow distortion. The analysis is conducted using singular value decomposition (SVD) and dynamic mode decomposition (DMD). A special attention is then paid, on the experimental level, to the arising of rotating stall, from the onset of the instability up to completely developed stall cells.
