Abstract:The loss coefficient based only on the stagnation pressure has traditionally been used in the analysis of axial compressors for the comparison between shrouded and cantilevered stator configurations. In recent years, engineers have been able to perform more detailed Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations, allowing them to resolve the flow field in the leakage paths. The two stator hub designs are, however, affected by the rotating surfaces in a different way: in cantilevered stators, the relative rotation be… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
