Abstract: In axial compressors, shrouded stator cavity flows are responsible for performance degradation due to their interaction with the power stream. The present paper aims at exploring the possibility of employing a single-stage ...

Abstract: This paper presents the investigation of realistic cavity leakage flow for the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics H25 axial compressor stage, equipped with a shroud cavity of average Reynolds number Rer = 2.2 * 106 ...

Abstract: Large flow turning in compressor cascades with single airfoils requires effective control of the boundary layer growth under the diffusing flow. An alternative approach consists of distributing the loading over two subsequent ...
