Abstract: A five-stage axial-flow compressor with all rotors operating with transonic relative inlet Mach numbers was designed as a research vehicle at the Lewis Research Center in 1952. The compressor ...

Abstract: Three rotors were tested, to study flow and performance across loaded axial-flow blade rows. Principal design parameters varied were flow coefficient (0.29 < φ < 0.45), blade loading ...

Abstract: Three-dimensional spanwise pressure loss and flow angle deviation variations have been deduced from NASA, university, and industrial sources from middle-stage research compressors operating near ...

Abstract: A model of the spanwise variation of the 3-D flow effects on deviation is proposed for middle-stage rotors and stators. This variation is taken as the difference above or below that predicted ...
