Numerical Investigation of Tip Clearance Flow in an Axial Compressor Cascade

Abstract:

Using blade tip winglet to control the tip leakage flow has been concerned in the field of turbomachinery. Computational simulation was conducted to investigate the phenomenological features of tip clearance flow. The simulation results show that suction-side winglet can reduce leakage flow intensity. The tip winglet can also decrease tip leakage mass flow and weaken tip leakage flow mixing with the mainstream and therefore reduce the total pressure loss at the blade tip.
