The ORL Fluids Engineering Unit Axial Flow Research Fan.

Abstract

A description of the ORL Fluids Engineering unit Axial Flow Research Fan is presented herein. The size and flexibility of this facility are such as to provide a previously unavailable capability for research on the time-dependent response of axial flow turbomachinery blade elements and blade rows to time or spatially varying flows. Flows of this type are generated by interaction of adjacent blade rows or by blade row response to a distorted inflow. Consequently, an understanding of the phenomena that govern blade response in these environments is of considerable practical significance. (Author)
