To apply context-awareness, first step is to identify and mea- sure environmental elements and user demands. Environmental elements for an axial flow compressor are the parameters form- ing its working condition and defining its limitations. There- fore, they can be defined as the parameters moving each com- pressor stage into surge margin. Besides, individual rotational speed for each stage inherently makes optimum rotational speed rise stage by stage, which needs to add structural limitation to other limitations.
User demands are considered parameters mingled with the off-design condition and imposed on the stages along with en- vironmental elements.
To evaluate the concept, author developed exclusive soft- ware capable to design and model context-aware gas turbine engine in average-fidelity level. Accordingly, methods for pre- liminary design of axial flow compressors were adapted to re- quirements.
