Description:
Flow-through cascade of an aircraft turbine compressor is studied experimentally over wide range of Reynolds numbers and subsonic Mach numbers; it was found that deterioration of flow properties due to decreasing Reynolds numbers is less noticeable on thin profiles than on thick ones; however, thick profiles are advantageous in compressors designed for efficient partial load behavior because thick profiles have a relatively large range of usable inlet flow angles.
