Abstract
Abstract The relative casing motion can significantly alter the over-tip-leakage (OTL) flow aerodynamic performances. Traditional tip experimental facilities for relative motion researches, including stationary linear cascade with low-speed moving belt, annular cascade with rotating outer wall, and full-scale experimental rig with rotating blade, were either extremely costly or not capable to reproduce engine-representative casing Mach number. Very recently, a novel design concept for high-speed disk rotor rig has been proposed for tip research. Subsequent to this research, the present study evaluates the aerodynamic performances and the periodicity of the disk rotor rig design using Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes computational fluid dynamics simulation. Furthermore, first-of-its-kind experimental results of total pressure loss distributions measured by five-hole probe under high relative casing Mach number are reported. The results demonstrate the applicability of the disk rotor experimental rig for tip aerodynamic investigations.
