EXPERIMENTAL FLUTTER INVESTIGATIONS OF AN ANNULAR COMPRESSOR CASCADE: INFLUENCE OF REDUCED FREQUENCY ON STABILITY

  • Conference paper

Abstract

Due to the trend of increasing power and reducing weight, the fan and compressor bladings of turbomachinery might be more sensitive to flutter, which must strictly be avoided already in the design process. In order to increase our understanding of the flutter phenomena for fan and compressor cascades, aeroelastic investigations are essential.
