Abstract: In order to maximize the pressure ratio and efficiency, compressor designers have tried several unconventional design approaches. Tandem blading is one such unconventional design that promises a higher pressure ratio per ...

Abstract: The present numerical investigation aims to understand the effect of the chordwise sweep on the performance of a tandem rotor. In a tandem compressor rotor, diffusion is achieved through two smaller airfoils, which are ...

Abstract: Tandem blade is an interesting concept that promises a higher total pressure rise per stage. Owing to two separate tip leakage vortices and their interaction, losses are likely to increase particularly near the tip region. ...
