Abstract

The change in rotor performance with tip clearance of an axial flow compressor over a wide range of flow rates above stall was investigated to gain more understanding of the effect of the tip flow mechanism on rotor performance. The experimental results were compared with a flow model proposed previously and found to be in reasonable agreement.
