Abstract: Data from a surface hot-film array on the outlet stator of a 1.5-stage axial compressor are analyzed to look for direct evidence of natural transition phenomena. An algorithm is developed to ...

Abstract: Periodic wake-induced transition on the outlet stator of a 1.5-stage axial compressor is examined using hot-film arrays on both the suction and pressure surfaces. The time-mean surface pressure ...

Abstract: Transition onset observations from a 1.5-stage axial compressor outlet stator presented in Part I of this paper are compared with the predictions of conventional transition correlations applied ...

Abstract: The interaction between wakes of an adjacent rotor–stator or stator–rotor blade row pair in an axial turbomachine is known to produce regular spatial variations in both the time-mean and unsteady ...
