Recent investigations have shown a reduction of secondary losses in compressor cascades using a bulb like modification of the profile at the endwall. This paper is focussed on experimental work in comparison of 5 different endwall modifications at a compressor cascade. The cascade is modified near the endwall with a bulb, a medium and a large fillet. The fillet configurations are modified by an axial blunt cut-off at the leading edge. The investigations have been carried out at a profile developed from a hub section of the Dresden Low Speed Research Compressor (LSRC) blade, a compressor profile with a nominal turning of 18 deg. A datum configuration and the 5 other configurations were tested at the Low Speed Cascade Windtunnel (LSCW). For the bulb configuration, an intensified horse shoe vortex was suspected and observed counterrotating to the passage vortex with an influence on its propagation. The interaction of the passage vortex and the suction side profile boundary layer is influenced. The superposition of both is minimized and the losses developing from this effect are significant lower. For the fillet and blunt-fillet configurations, a fillet vortex develops and was observed co-rotating to the passage vortex with an influence on the mentioned interaction as well. Blunt leading edges produce additional losses but the superposition of the growing vortices may reduce the overall losses. The cases show a reduction in losses of 1.9% for 3 deg incidence and a range of 1.2% rise to 1.9% reduction in dependence of the incidence. This equals a reduction of the isolated secondary losses up to 28% with respect to the reference profile. Detailed results of the experiments are presented for the reference and all modified cascades.

A number of experimental and numerical studies point out that incorporating a rotating cylinder can superiorly enhance the aerofoil performance, especially for higher velocity ratios. Yet, there have been less or no studies exploring the effects of lower velocity ratio at a higher Reynolds number. In the present study, we investigated the effects of Moving Surface Boundary-layer Control (MSBC) at lower velocity ratios (i.e. cylinder tangential velocity to free stream velocity) and higher Reynolds number on a symmetric aerofoil (e.g. NACA 0021) and an asymmetric aerofoil (e.g. NACA 23018). In particular, the aerodynamic performance with and without rotating cylinder at the leading edge of the NACA 0021 and NACA 23018 aerofoil was studied on the wind tunnel installed at Aerodynamics Laboratory. The aerofoil section was tested in the low subsonic wind tunnel, and the lift coefficient and the drag coefficient were studied for different angles of attack. The experiments were conducted for two Reynolds numbers: 200000 and 250000 corresponding to two free stream velocities: 20 m/s and 25 m/s, respectively, for six different angle of attacks (-5°, 0°, 5°, 10°, 15° and 20°). This study demonstrates that the incorporation of a leading edge rotating cylinder results in an increase of lift coefficient at lower angle of attacks (maximum around 33%) and delay in stall angle (from 10° to 15°) relative to the aerofoil without rotating cylinder.
