Abstract: This paper reviews recent trends in the United States in the aerodynamic design of axial-flow compressor components. A summary of design procedures used prior to 1955 is followed by discussion ...

Abstract: This investigation was concerned with the turbulent flow with negligible heat transfer of a Newtonian fluid in the inlet region of smooth, concentric, constant-area annuli. Experimental mean-velocity ...

Abstract: Development of a more satisfactory method of estimating deviation angles was attempted using analytical procedures. Solutions for inviscid, irrotational flow in the blade-to-blade plane were obtained ...

Abstract: This paper is a commentary on a small chapter in the recent history of turbomachinery research. It was written to describe the positive influence of an individual, Melvin J. Hartmann, working ...

Abstract: A cascade geometry derived from a research program on high-throughflow, transonic, axial-flow compressors was tested with similar supersonic entrance flow conditions in three linear cascade test ...

Abstract: The blade-element method has been used effectively in the solution of the design problem for axial-flow turbomachines. A considerable body of data has been acquired to support the use of this ...

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 method for computation of the flow field around an arbitrary airfoil cascade on an axially symmetric blade-to-blade surface was developed which takes into account the development and separation ...

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 ...
