Abstract
The performance of NASA Rotor 37 with Circumferential Grooves Casing Treatment (CGCT) is studied with an in-house CFD code NSAWET. Based on the stall mechanism analysis, a number of CGCT configurations have been proposed and numerically tested. The computation results show that the stall mechanisms are strongly related with the width of tip clearance. With a small tip clearance, the stall process is dominated by the trailing edge separation, while the leading edge tip leakage vortex breakdown induced blockage causes stall in a large tip clearance configuration. Circumferential grooves at appropriate axial locations can be beneficial to the stall margin in these two types of stall processes. The effects of the groove width and depth are presented. The mechanisms of CGCT for different tip clearances are also discussed.
