Analysis of the failure of a vacuum spin-pit drive turbine spindle shaft
(Monterey California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2005-09)
The Naval Postgraduate School's Rotor Spin Research Facility experienced a failure in the Spring of 2005 in which the rotor dropped from the drive turbine and caused extensive damage. A failure analysis of the drive turbine ...
Experimental investigation and numerical prediction of the performance of a cross-flow fan
(Monterey California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2006-12)
The concept of a fan-wing aircraft configuration for the purpose of vertical takeoff and landing has drawn much attention. Recently, more investigations revealed that a cross-flow fan (CFF) was capable of providing the ...
Examination of flow around second-generation controlled diffusion compressor blades in cascade at stall
(Monterey California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2004-06)
The flow around second-generation controlled-diffusion blades in cascade at stall was examined experimentally through the use of a two-component laser-Doppler velocimeter. Blade surface pressure measurements were also ...
Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurements in the wake of a cascade of compressor blades at stall
(Monterey California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2006-03)
The flow around second generation controlled-diffusion compressor blades in cascade at stall was examined through the use of a Particle Image Velocimeter (PIV). This examination was conducted from the trailing edge of the ...
Experimental and computational investigation of flow in a transonic compressor inlet
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2005-09)
As part of an initial baseline survey of the inlet flow-field into a transonic compressor rotor, a five-hole probe was calibrated and used to determine the Mach number and inlet pitch angle distributions. The data for Mach ...
Steady state and transient measurements within a compressor rotor during steam-induced stall at transonic operational speeds
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2006-09)
Steam leakage from an aircraft carrier catapult is sometimes ingested into the aircraft engines upon launch which may induce compressor stall. Investigation of this phenomenon is of particular interest to the Navy with its ...
Inlet flow-field measurements of a transonic compressor rotor prior to and during steam-induced rotating stall
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2005-12)
Steam leakage from an aircraft carrier catapult is sometimes ingested by the aircraft's engines upon launch which may induce compressor stall. Investigation of the phenomenon known as a "pop stall" is of particular importance ...
