Abstract: State-of-the-art axial compressors of gas turbines employed in power generation plants and aero engines should have both high efficiency and small footprint. Thus, compressors are designed to have thin rotor blades and ...

Abstract: This paper describes the flow mechanisms of rotating stall inception in a multistage axial flow compressor of an actual gas turbine. Large-scale numerical simulations of the unsteady have been conducted. The compressor ...
