Abstract: The impact of boundary layer aspiration, or suction, on the aerodynamic design and performance of turbomachinery airfoils is discussed in this paper. Aspiration is studied first in the context ...

Abstract: A new turbomachinery design system, T-AXI, is described and demonstrated. It is intended primarily for use by educators and students, although it is sophisticated enough for actual designs. The ...

Abstract: The T-AXI turbomachinery design system, an axisymmetric methodology recently developed with an educational purpose, has shown great capabilities in the redesign of existing axial flow gas turbine ...

Abstract: The experimental investigation of an aspirated fan stage designed to achieve a pressure ratio of 3.4:1 at 1500 ft/s is presented in this paper. The low-energy viscous flow is aspirated from ...

Abstract: The experimental investigation of a transonic aspirated stage demonstrating the application of boundary layer aspiration to increase stage work is presented. The stage was designed to produce a ...
