Unsteady stator response to upstream rotor wakesThe results are presented of an investigation of the unsteady pressures generated on a stator due to its interaction with the wakes shed by an upstream rotor. The influence of stator solidity, incidence flow angle and rotor/stator spacing are discussed. The results show that the major influence is due to stator solidity, particularly at large values of incidence angle. Comparisons of the measured data with an existing unsteady cascade analysis show similar trends in the chordwise variation of the predicted and measured unsteady pressure difference across the blades. Comparisons with an isolated airfoil analysis indicate the influence of solidity and unsteady blade-to-blade interaction. All comparisons were conducted for an incompressible flow with a reduced frequency of approximately 5.0.
