Abstract

Abstract : The report describes a technique which has been developed for use in the design of axial compressor airfoils with camber lines of arbitrary shape. The slope of the camber line at several points on a streamsurface is determined from the air angles at these points as well as the incidence and deviation angle distributions for the blade. A camber line is produced by fitting a smooth curve segment through each pair of points from the leading to the trailing edge. A thickness distribution is applied to this camber line to produce the blade element. A computer program which uses this technique to produce blade elements, stack them, and then determine coordinates for plane surfaces through the resultant blade is also described.
