Changing any one component in a set of multiply connected cavities, such as the compressor discharge seal, causes flow changes throughout the entire engine. T-70O engine test data and numerical simulations of the space shuttle main engine high-pressure fuel turbopump, the four stage T-56/501D turbine, and swirl brake dynamics are cited as examples. The needs for time-dependent optimization of turbine and compressor flow fields, for use of seals to enhance rotor stability, for predictive maintenance, and for a clean-sheet approach to engine design are concluded.

A guide for mechanical engineers to identifying flow-induced noise and vibration sources within machinery that could cause catastrophic failure. Explains methods for computing frequencies for self-sustained oscillations, and presents formulae to calculate the acoustic resonant modes for ducts and cavities. Considers the general types of flow configurations that are known to produce self-sustained oscillations and includes a complete collection of models.
