Abstract: The evolution of Controlled Diffusion Airfoils is traced from inception of the theoretical design model to demonstration of significant performance gains at engine operating conditions in a ...

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: 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 ...
