Abstract
The paper deals with the processes of “wet” compression with injection of water into axial-flow compressors of aircraft engine-derivative gas-turbine units, which are characterized by a relatively high speed of rotation and small standard dimensions. Given for two typical machines are the results of analysis of the behavior of water films on the surfaces of stator and rotor blades at different compressor stages (including the separation of moisture to the casing) and their impact on the characteristics and effectiveness of the process of “wet” compression.
