The aerodynamic performance of the variable cycle engine fan changes sharply during mode transition. Investigating variations flow structure and understanding loss mechanism are helpful in providing guidance for design. Three-dimensional models single bypass double compression systems established, static pressure is applied at stream outlet to simulate opening selection valve. characteristic band obtained by gradually increasing while maintaining specific values core pressure. Results show that overall configuration, without recirculation, almost identical conventional configuration throttling process. With increase pressure, shock wave trajectory tip leakage vortex move forward, thereby blockage region induced interaction between vortex. In addition, with reverse also calculated. recirculation causes operating point closer stability limit, reducing isentropic efficiency. Additionally, radial distribution axial velocity total leading inlet distortion driven stage. Furthermore, clarified modeling splitter conducting entropy generation analysis. sharp expansion could cause severe separation, curvature casing can effectively suppress viscous shear loss.
