Abstract: The stagnation temperature profiles which have been observed recently downstream of the stators in high Mach number compressor stages are shown to be due to transport of the rotor wakes across ...

Abstract: The performance of axial flow compressors can be improved when it becomes possible to achieve higher loading per stage than currently attainable. The major obstacles to attaining this objective ...

Abstract: Reduction of engine weight and engine specific fuel consumption is a continuing goa of jet engine designers. An attractive approach is through the development of efficient, high-tip speed ...

Abstract: In an effort to reduce engine length and weight it is desirable in some applications, such as high bypass ratio turbofan engines, to introduce compressor stages into a downward sloping flowpath. ...
