Abstract

The German Aerospace Center designed, aero-mechanically optimized and experimentally investigated its own counter-rotating shrouded fan stage in the frame of the project CRISPmulti. Their target and the motivation of this work was, on the one hand, the generation of a highly accurate experimental database for the validation of the modern numerical design and optimization processes, and on the other hand, the development of a new innovative technology for the manufacturing of 3D fan blades made of a lightweight CFRP material. The original CRISP-1m test rig designed by the MTU Aero Engines in the 1980s was reused with the new blading for experimental investigation in the Multistage Two-Shaft Compressor Test Facility (M2VP) of the DLR in Cologne. The evaluation of the steady measurement results and the validation of the numerical simulation based on the pressure and temperature measurement are presented in this paper.
