The influence of pulsating backpressure on compressor transient responses and surge characteristics was investigated experimentally.The results showed that the compressor responses were highly unsteady at pulsating conditions.The unsteadiness of compressor performance was stronger at high frequency,high magnitude pulsating conditions,or steep pressure ratio‑flow rate characteristic curves.A correlation among compressor unsteadiness,pulsating strength,and operating condition was proposed based on the results.Surge was postponed at pulsating conditions,with improvement by 12.3% of compressor stable operating range.The strength of fluctuation caused by pulsating decreased with the reduction of flow rate,while the fluctuation due to aerodynamic instability increased.The V‑shaped trend of the strength of flow fluctuation was caused by the interaction between pulsating backpressure and compressor instability.The influence of pulsating backpressure on dynamic response and surge characteristics of compressor was studied.This study can be helpful to improve compressor design methodology at unsteady operating conditions.
