This paper deals with an experimental investigation into the influence of a vaned recess casing treatment on the performance of an industrial-type axial-flow fan with a hub-tip ratio of 0.4. The treatment has been tested in a variety of configurations relative to the fan, with an emphasis on the amount of fan blade tip exposure to the treatment. Two sets of blading, one of which is of the fully reversible type, have been investigated. Detailed flow measurements have been carried out with a slanted hot wire probe to provide an insight into the operation of the device and into the nature of the rotating stall in the solid casing configuration. Strain gauges have been employed to enable blade stresses to be recorded and an in-duct microphone to enable comparative tests on fan noise has also been used.

The authors’ previous papers demonstrated that an air-separator is the most effective equipment among various different types for the improvement of unstable characteristics of an axial-flow rotor. Further experiments revealed that this equipment could eliminate the unstable characteristics thoroughly even for a build which originally accompanied a heavy rotating stall. This paper describes the geometric conditions to realize this and discusses its performance mechanism on the basis of the experiments showing the discharge distribution of the bleeding flow from the blade tip to separator passage as well as the pressure distribution in a blade passage at the tip section of the rotor. It is suggested that the equipment is equally useful at any stage of a multistage rotor.

Compressor is a crucial component of an engine. Flow through the compressor is intricate and sensitive to the reference frame, geometry of the blade, tip clearance, stator, staging etc. Compressor, though designed for a particular environment, is also expected to show its performance under off design conditions like accelerating flight, landing, take off, climbing etc. The flow in third dimension leads to many complications and ambiguity. Tip aerodynamics, passage flow, and vortex aerodynamics play crucial role in describing the flow through the upper half of the blade and in the tip region, whereas flow over blade surface, trailing edge and the hub will guide the aerodynamic behavior of the rotor blade. This exercise is done for off design environment to study the aforesaid flow characteristics and is carried on an axial flow fan. The performance variation of fan flow under varying flow conditions is analyzed.
