Keywords: axial transonic compressor, inflow distortion, numerical simulation

This paper refers to numerical simulations of a transonic compressor stage with different inflow distortions. To get a deeper understanding about different inflow distortions, a transonic compressor stage was simulated, including the inlet where a distortion generator was placed as well as with a steady total pressure inlet distortion.
