Abstract: A method is developed to predict the steady, two-dimensional incompressible flowfield through tandem cascades or multibody cascade geometries. The technique is adapted from the classical Douglas-Neumann ...

Abstract: A technique has been developed to analyze static pressure distributions obtained from the surfaces of stators in a multistage compressor to determine incident Mach number and flow angle and the ...

Abstract: A series of Controlled Diffusion Airfoils has been developed for multistage compressor application. These airfoils are designed analytically to be shock-free at transonic Mach numbers and to avoid ...

Abstract: The performance of axial flow compressors can be improved when it becomes possible to achieve higher loading per stage than currently attainable. The major obstacles to attaining this objective ...

Abstract: An explicit, time marching, multiple-grid Navier–Stokes technique is demonstrated for the prediction of quasi-three-dimensional turbomachinery compressor cascade performance over the entire incidence ...

Abstract: Analysis of multistage compressor stator surface static pressure data reveals that the radial growth of suction surface corner separation prematurely separates core flow stator sections, limiting ...
