Axial compressor blading
An axial compressor has at least one circumferential row of aerofoil members ( 30 a , 30 b , 30 c) in which at least one of the two end walls ( 37 ) between adjacent blades is given a non-axisymmetric profile, defined by circumferentially-extending sinusoids at a number of axial positions (AA, BB, C...

Zusammenfassung: | An axial compressor has at least one circumferential row of aerofoil members ( 30 a , 30 b , 30 c) in which at least one of the two end walls ( 37 ) between adjacent blades is given a non-axisymmetric profile, defined by circumferentially-extending sinusoids at a number of axial positions (AA, BB, CC). Corresponding points on the successive sinusoids are joined by spline curves, so that the curvature of the end wall is smooth. This end-wall profiling modifies the boundary layer flow at the wall, reducing or eliminating the corner separation and reversed flow associated with known arrangements. |
