Investigation of the Shear Flow Effect and Tip Clearance on a Low Speed Axial Flow Compressor Cascade
This paper explores the effect of inlet shear flow on the tip leakage flow in an axial flow compressor cascade. A flow with a high shear rate is generated in the test section of an open circuit cascade wind tunnel by using a combination of screens with a prescribed solidity. It is observed that a st...
