Abstract

The spike flow is often observed around the lead-edge of a blade in an axial compressor cascade, which would lead to the sudden expansion and pressure diffusion. A strong spike flow might create a local separation bubble near the leading-edge and even trigger the boundary layer transition immediately (Walraevens and Cumpsty in J. Turbomach 117:115-125, (1995) [1]).
