Abstract: This research proposes and preliminarily analyzes a novel concept to passively reduce the negative impact of deep inlet distortion on the fan of an aero-engine. It consists of placing a row of non-axisymmetric inlet guide ...

Abstract: This paper presents a computational and analytical study to identify and elucidate fundamental flow features associated with the desensitization of performance and aerodynamic stability of an axial compressor rotor to tip ...

Abstract: This work investigates the effect of tip clearance size and operating temperature on the predictions of the critical rotor speed at which nonsynchronous vibrations (NSV) can be encountered in a turbine engine axial flow ...
