Abstract: A single-stage axial-flow compressor which incorporates rotor inlet counterswirl to improve stage performance is discussed. Results for two rotor configurations are presented, including design and ...

Abstract: The analytical design and experimental test of a single-stage transonic axial-flow compressor are described. This design is the baseline of a compressor design study in which several blade design ...

Abstract: Transonic compressor rotor performance is sensitive to variations in several known design parameters. One such parameter is the chordwise location of maximum thickness. This article reports on ...
