Exploring Spanwise Loss Patterns: Numerical Analysis and Modeling of Linear Cascades with Tip Clearance Based on Leakage Flow Intensity

Abstract

AbstractLeakage and secondary flow losses significantly affect the efficiency of highly loaded compressors. Previous research on the impact of tip clearance on loss patterns has primarily focused on half-span analysis, neglecting the full-span loss ...Practical ApplicationsTip clearance can affect the efficiency and the stall margin of the axial compressor, especially in today’s high-load designs. The previous analysis of the tip clearance effects was limited to the semispan range, and the ...
