THE ROLE OF TIP LEAKAGE FLOW IN SPIKE-TYPE ROTATING STALL INCEPTION

© 2019 by ASME. This paper describes the role of tip leakage flow in creating the leading edge separation necessary for the onset of spike-type compressor rotating stall. A series of unsteady multipassage simulations, supported by experimental data, are used to define and illustrate the two competin...
