Experimental Investigation of Gas Particle Flow in a Simulated Axial Flow Compressor Stage,
Abstract
An experimental study of the effect of particle size and fluid velocity on the trajectories and velocities of solid particles entrained by a fluid, and passing through a simulated axial flow compressor stage, is carried out. Conclusions concerning areas of blade surface subjected to erosion damage due to particle collisions are drawn. Pressure measurements of the particulate gas flow on the blade surfaces were obtained for various values of particle concentration for two different positions of the second cascade row. A subsonic cascade wind tunnel (described in reference 1) was used for testing the particulate flow through the simulated compressor stage. (Author)
