Preliminary Experimental Investigation of Airfoils in Cascade

Abstract

The flow through a cascade of the stationary NACA 65, 2-810 blower blade sections with a solidity of 1 and stagger of 45 deg was experimentally studied in order to provide data about the flow, lift and energy losses occurring in cascade. Impact and static pressures ahead of the blades were measured by the total head tubes and static pressure orifices. The angle through which air was turned by the blades was measured by a yaw head. Turning effectiveness, pressure rise, lift and energy loss characteristics are evaluated and correlated.
