Abstract
Tests are reported in which air incidence angle was
varied to a cascade of 20 blades, 5 inches in chord with
aspect ratio of 2.0 and solidity of 1.67. Preliminary
blade element performance data were obtained using pneumatic
probe surveys and surface pressures were also measureed
Results of preparatory tests of a similar cascade of 15
C-series blades at a solidity of 1.28 are also included.
Whereas the flow in the C-series blading cascade was always
acceptable, the flow in the DCA blading cascade was not
acceptable at negative incidence angles. A modification
of the cascade inlet guide vanes is recommended which will
guarantee periodic conditions and serve to generate more
nearly uniform inlet flow at all test conditions.
