Abstract: In contrast to the highly optimized rotating components, the inter compressor duct (ICD) is offering a high potential for further improvements. Due to a more aggressive design, the length of the whole engine can be reduced. ...

Abstract: Especially at transonic flow conditions the leading edge shape influences the performance of a fan profile. At the same time the leading edge of a fan profile is highly affected by erosion during operation. This erosion ...

Abstract: Nowadays, modern axial compressors have already reached a very high level of development. The current study is focused on the question, if the application of riblets on the surfaces of a highly efficient modern compressor ...

Abstract: For the development of the latest generation of axial compressors, it is necessary to enlarge the design space by using advanced aerodynamic processes. This enables a further increase in efficiency and performance. The use ...

Abstract: The flow through a transonic compressor cascade shows a very complex structure due to the occurring shock waves. In addition, the interaction of these shock waves with the blade boundary layer inherently leads to a very ...

Abstract: The flow through a transonic compressor cascade is characterized by high unsteadiness and a high loss level. This results from the shock waves in the blade cascade and their interaction with the blade suction side boundary ...
