Abstract: Laminar-turbulent transition behavior is studied near the leading edge of an outlet stator blade in a low-speed 1.5-stage axial-flow research compressor. The stator is a typical controlled diffusion ...

Abstract: Wake-induced laminar-turbulent transition is studied at the leading edge of a C4-section compressor stator blade in a 1.5-stage axial compressor. Surface hot-film sensor observations are interpreted ...

Abstract: The influence of free-stream turbulence on wake dispersion and boundary layer transition processes has been studied in a 1.5-stage axial compressor. An inlet grid was used to produce turbulence ...

Abstract: This study presents velocity and turbulence data measured experimentally in the near field of a round and a laterally expanded fan-shaped cooling hole. Both holes are fed by a plenum inlet, ...
