Abstract: A quasi-three-dimensional, finite difference boundary layer analysis for rotating blade rows has been developed which uses pressure distribution and streamline position data from a three-dimensional ...

Abstract: A new inverse or design calculation procedure has been devised for nonpotential flow fields and has been applied to turbomachinery blade row design. This technique uses as input quantities the ...

Abstract: Measurement of passage shock strength in a transonic compressor rotor using a gas fluorescent technique revealed an unexpected variation in shock strength in the radial direction. An axisymmetric ...

Abstract: A previously described, inviscid design technique has been substantially improved to allow the generation of either shock-free, weak-shock or low total pressure loss supersonic rotor cascade ...

Abstract: A Blowdown Compressor Test Facility has been developed which allows time resolved aerodynamic testing of full-scale transonic compressor rotors at low cost. The rotor is brought to speed in ...
