Effect of Cascade Parameters on Rotating Stall

Analysis of the vortex model proposed by Kriebel, Seidel, and Schwind shows this representation of rotating stall satisfies, at least approximately, the requirements at the cascade. Cascade-parameter-variation effects on rotating stall were studied in a circular cascade and single-stage compressor. Modification of the single-stage compressor stopped the rotating-stall pattern and permitted observation of the pressure and velocity distribution around the annulus. Closer observation might be possible with proper flow-visualization techniques, such as a water pump.
