Roughness Effects on Compressor Outlet Guide Vanes at High Reynolds Number and High Turning Angle.

Abstract

An experimental investigation of the effects of surface roughness on flow at high Reynolds number over compressor outlet guide vanes at high turning angle in a 2-D cascade was conducted. Two models of roughness were tested: one smoother and one rougher than actual compressor vanes. Four configurations of roughness were evaluated: pressure and suction sides smooth, pressure and suction sides rough, pressure side rough with the suction side smooth and suction side rough with the pressure side smooth.
