An assessment of the body-force capabilities for axial compressor design under inlet distortion is proposed, using the novel adjoint body force tool recently implemented. Then, several optimizations - first under radial then under a full annulus BLI alike distortion - are conducted to demonstrate those capabilities, and to evaluate the adjoint body-force limitations.
