Abstract:
A compressor for a gas turbine engine including one or more endwall treatments for controlling leakage flow and circumferential flow non-uniformities in the compressor. The compressor includes a casing, a hub, a flow path formed between the casing and the hub, a plurality of blades positioned in the flow path, and one or more circumferentially varying end-wall treatments formed in an interior surface of at least one of the casing or the hub. Each of the one or more circumferentially varying endwall treatments circumferentially varying based on their relative position to an immediately adjacent upstream bladerow. Each of the one or more endwall treatments is circumferentially varied in at least one of placement relative to the immediately adjacent upstream bladerow or in geometric parameters defining each of the plurality of circumferentially varying endwall treatments. Additionally disclosed is an engine including the compressor.
