Abstract: The stability limit of a tip-stalling axial compressor is sensitive to the magnitude of the near-casing blockage. In transonic compressors, the presence of the passage shock could be a major cause for the blockage. ...

Abstract: This paper describes a new modular experimental facility that was purposebuilt to investigate flow interactions between the combustor and first stage nozzle guide vanes (NGVs) of heavy duty power generation gas turbines ...
