Abstract
This paper discusses the effect of a periodical disturbance in the wake of a highly loaded axial compressor on the pressure distribution and the secondary flow characteristics of the turbo machinery stator blades. A large scale axial compressor cascade, consisting of six two dimensional passages, has been used for this investigation. The test rig is equipped with an active flow control system to enhance the operating range of the compressor. Results that have been achieved by means of side wall actuation are also presented.
