Abstract: Measurements are presented of a resonant acoustic phenomenon occurring in a low-speed multistage compressor. The results show that this phenomenon shares many characteristics with acoustic resonance ...

Abstract: This paper describes the measurement and processing of turbulence data from multistage low-speed compressors. Measurements were made at the same relative positions in three four-stage compressors, ...

Abstract: This paper presents a study of stall inception mechanisms in a low-speed axial compressor. Previous work has identified two common flow breakdown sequences, the first associated with a short ...

Abstract: An analysis is presented of the off-design performance of multistage axial-flow compressors. It is based on an analytical solution, valid for small perturbations in operating conditions from the ...
