Utilization of external-compression diffusion principle in design of shock-in-rotor supersonic compressor blading (open access)

Utilization of external-compression diffusion principle in design of shock-in-rotor supersonic compressor blading

Report presenting the application of the external-compression principle to a cascade of blades in an attempt to achieve a closer approach to isentropic contraction ratios in supersonic compressor blading. Tests of a rotor designed to incorporate the external-compression principle are provided. Results regarding overall performance, performance at design speed and peak efficiency, off-design performance, and some considerations for future designs are provided.
