Abstract: The relationship between turbomachinery blade circulation and tip clearance vortex circulation measured experimentally is examined using three-dimensional viscous flow computations. It is shown that ...

Abstract: Swirl flow induced by an impeller was studied in a toroidal geometry. Both mean and root mean square axial velocities were measured using an electrochemical velocity probe. The effects on the ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new methodology for quantifying compressor endwall blockage and an approach, using this quantification, for defining the links between design parameters, flow conditions, and ...
