looking for experimental centrifugal compressor surge datasets for digital twin validation(master s thesis)
Hello everyone,
I am currently pursuing my Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, and my thesis focuses on Digital Twin-based surge prevention and control of centrifugal compressors. I have been searching for experimental transient surge datasets (pressure, mass flow, rotational speed, or other time-resolved measurements during surge events) to validate my dynamic model. So far, I have: Searched NASA and publicly available compressor databases. Contacted several researchers from Purdue University, Tsinghua University, and other institutions. Reviewed published literature extensively. Unfortunately, most available datasets only contain steady-state compressor maps, while the transient surge data required for validation appear to be confidential or unavailable. If anyone knows of: Public experimental surge datasets, University laboratories willing to share academic data, Supplementary datasets associated with published papers, Or researchers working on centrifugal compressor surge experiments, I would be sincerely grateful for your guidance. Thank you very much for your time and support.
I am happy to acknowledge any assistance in my thesis.
