Abstract: This paper reports on the numerical assessment of the differences in aerodynamic performance between part span shrouded and unshrouded fan blades generally found in the first stage of multistage ...

Abstract: The recent trend in using aerodynamic sweep to improve the performance of transonic blading has been one of the more significant technological evolutions for compression components in turbomachinery. ...

Abstract: Large circumferentially varying pressure levels produced by aerodynamic flow interactions between downstream stators and struts present a potential noise and stability margin liability in a compression ...

Abstract: Rig and engine test processes and in-flight operation and safety for modern gas turbine engines can be greatly improved with the development of accurate on-line measurement to gauge the aerodynamic ...
