A detailed experimental investigation was carried out to examine the influence of blade loading on the three-dimensional flow in an annular compressor cascade. Data were acquired over a range of incidence angles. Included are airfoil and endwall flow visualization, measurement of the static pressure distribution on the flow passage surfaces, and radial-circumferential traverse measurements. The data indicate the formation of a strong vortex near the rear of the blade passage. This vortex transports low-momentum fluid close to the hub toward the blade suction side and seems to be partly responsible for the occurrence of a hub corner stall. The effect of increased loading on the growth of the hub corner stall and its impact on the passage blockage are discussed. Detailed mapping of the blade boundary layer was done to determine the loci of boundary layer transition and flow separation. The data have been compared with results from an integral boundary layer method.

An experimental study of three-dimensional flow field in an annular compressor cascade with an upstream rotor has been carried out at four different incidences to the stator blade. Blade boundary layers and the three-dimensional flow field at the exit are surveyed using a hot wire sensor and a five hole probe, respectively. The data on the blade boundary layer, passage flow and separated corner flow is presented. The upstream rotor wake has a major influence on the transition, laminar separation bubble, extent of wall/corner flow separation, aerodynamic losses, secondary flow and three-dimensional flow inside the passage. Detailed interpretation of the effects of upstream wakes on the entire passage flow is presented and compared with the data in the absence of a rotor.

Experimental results from a study of the three-dimensional flow in a linear compressor cascade with stationary endwall at design conditions are presented for tip clearance levels of 1.0, 2.0, and 3.3 percent of chord, compared with the no-clearance case. In addition to five-hole probe measurements, extensive surface flow visualizations are conducted. It is observed that for the smaller clearance cases a weak horseshoe vortex forms in the front of the blade leading edge. At all the tip gap cases, a multiple tip vortex structure with three discrete vortices around the midchord is found. The tip leakage vortex core is well defined after the midchord but does not cover a significant area in traverse planes. The presence of the tip leakage vortex results in the passage vortex moving close to the endwall and the suction side.
