Abstract (en)

A method (100) and system for controlling rotor blade resonant frequencies in a compressor (14) for a gas turbine engine (10). A flow injection (2) is introduced into an axial air flow path (56) of the compressor (14) via a flow-injection opening (4) located at a pressure side (114) of at least one guide vane (7) of a plurality of guide vanes (7) forming a guide vane stage (46) in the compressor (14). The flow injection (2) is directed towards a neighbouring guide vane (7) located adjacent the guide vane (7) having the flow-injection opening (4). The flow injection is introduced at a predetermined operating condition to thereby enhance vane flow mixing and thereby reduce flow induced vibrations of a rotor blade (200) downstream of the vanes (7).
