Abstract: Abstract. A theory developed in a companion paper (Part I) for the distortion response of a fan stage is applied to several configurations. The first of these is a conventional single-stage fan comprising a rotor and a ...

Abstract: Abstract. This article describes a semianalytical approach to investigate the response of a fan stage of arbitrary hub–tip ratio subjected to inlet distortion. The flow is taken to be incompressible and inviscid and the ...

Abstract: Windmilling requirements for aircraft engines often define propulsion and airframe design parameters. The present study is focused on two key quantities of interest during windmill operation: fan rotational speed and stage ...

Abstract: This paper describes the use of the free streamline approach to determine flows in fully separated cascades, and to thereby provide a rational basis for estimating the performance of axial turbomachinery at severely ...

Abstract: The versatile nature of ultrasound imaging finds applications in various fields. A point contact excitation and detection method is generally used for visualizing the acoustic waves in Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) ceramics. ...
