Abstract:
A compressor rotor for a gas turbine engine includes a hub disposed about an axis of rotation and an outer surface forming a radially inner gaspath boundary, the outer surface defining a nominal hub diameter. A circumferential array of blades extends radially outwardly from the hub. A first inter-blade passage is defined between a first set of adjacent blades and has a first throat area. A second inter-blade passage is defined between a second set of adjacent blades and has a second throat area that is smaller than the first throat area. At least one scoop is disposed in the second inter-blade passage, the scoop defining a cavity extending radially into the outer surface of the hub relative to the nominal hub diameter.
