Abstract
Experimental investigations brought to light the possibilities of broadening the operating range of axial flow compressors by means of outer wall casing treatments such as grooves, honeycombs or cavities. The industrial use of these techniques is however limited by uncertainties on the effectiveness of these treatments as, while they are very beneficial in some cases, they deteriorate the performance of the machine in some others. A theoretical investigation has been conducted on the flow field in cavities most commonly used, and laws for determining the groove depth have been established which account for the surge margin improvement obtained in some cases and make it possible to dismiss inefficient geometric configurations. A comparison between theory and experiment is presented, based on test results published in the literature and on an experimentation on two industrial compressors.
