Summary

The present study is focused on the analysis of the dynamic and periodic interaction between both fixed and rotating blade rows in a single stage, low-speed axial fan with inlet guide vanes. The main goal is placed on the characterization of the unsteady flow structures involved in an axial flow fan of high reaction degree, relating them to working point variations and axial gap modifications. For that purpose, an experimental open-loop facility has been developed to obtain a physical description of the flow across the turbomachine. Using hot-wire anemometry, measurements of axial and tangential velocities were carried out in two transversal sectors: one between the rows and the other downstream of the rotor, covering the whole span of the stage for a complete stator pitch.
