Abstract
The flow field in the annulus wall and tip region of a compressor rotor was measured using a triaxial, hot-wire probe rotating with the rotor. The flow was surveyed across the entire passage at five axial locations (leading edge, 1/4 chord, 1/2 chord, 3/4 chord, and trailing edge locations) and at six radial locations inside the passage. The data derived include all three components of mean velocity. Blade-to-blade variations of the velocity components, pitch and yaw angles, as well as the passage-averaged mean properties of the annulus wall boundary layer, are derived from this data. The measurements indicate that the leakage flow starts beyond a quarter-chord and tends to roll up farther away from the suction surface than that observed in cascades. Substantial velocity deficiencies and radial inward velocities are observed in this region. The annulus wall boundary layer is well behaved up to half a chord, beyond which interactions with the leakage flow produce complex profiles.
