Abstract

In order to research the influence mechanism of bow blades on the flow field of supersonic tandem rotors of compressors, the supersonic rotor rotor37 is taken as the prototype and redesigned as a supersonic tandem rotor. Compared with the prototype rotor37, the efficiency of the design tandem rotor is increased by 0.24% and the stall margin is increased by about 5.6%. Although the negative bow blade deteriorates the flow field in the tip region and the hub region, it significantly increases the efficiency and total pressure ratio of the tandem rotor from 20% span to 85% span. The efficiency of the design point of the tandem rotor with a negative bow angle of 10° is improved by 0.37%, and the stall margin is also increased to 20.71%. Positive bow blades improve the efficiency of the hub region and casing region of tandem rotors, but they significantly reduce the efficiency of the tandem rotor from 10% to 50%. The positive bow blade reduces the pressure ratio and efficiency at the design point and reduces the stall margin of the tandem rotor. The design point efficiency of the tandem rotor with a positive bow angle of 10° is decreased by 0.3%, the stall margin is decreased by 1%, and the mass flow of the design point is increased by 0.38%.
