SYSTEMATIC TWO-DIMENSIONAL CASCADE TESTS OF NACA 65-SERIES COMPRESSOR
BLADES AT LOW SPEEDS *
By Jans C. Euupy, L. Joseeu Hunero, Joux R. Ban, and A, Riowanp Fours
SUMMARY
The performance of NACA 65-series compressor blade
sections in cascade has been investigated syetematically in a
low-speed eascade tunnel. Porous test-section vide walls and,
Sor high-preseure-rise conditions, porous flecble end walls were
‘employed to establish conditions closely simulating two-dimen
sional flow. Blade sections of design lift coeficients from
0 to 2.7 were tested over the usable angle-of-atiack range for
tarious combinations of inletglow angle P of 80°, 45°, 60°,
and 70°, and. solidity © of 0.50, 0.76, 1.00, 1.85, and 1.50.
Design points were chosen on the basis of optimum high-speed
operation. A suficient number of combinations were tested
to permit interpolation and extrapolation of the data to all
conditions within the usual range of application.
The results of this investigation indicate a continuous varia
tion of blade-section performance as the major cascade param-
ters, lade eamber, inlet angle, and solidity were varied over the
test range. Summary curces of the results have been prepared
to enable compressor designers to select the proper blade camber
and angle of attack when the compressor velocity diagram and
desired solidity have been determined.
At a few test conditions, an upper limit to the design lift co-
effvient that could provide satisfactory performance was found.
‘These results provide information as to the mazimum value of
the loading parameter, expressed a8 the product of solidity and
section lift coeficient based on the vector mean velocity, that ean
be used effectively in compressor design. Analysis of the trends
indicated. that the common practice of employing « constant
mazimum value of the loading parameter for all inlet angles
and solidities fails to define the obserced performance of the
compressor blades sludied in this investigation.
Ar indes that the positive and negative limits of useful angle-
of-attack range occurred when the section drag coeficient reached.
twice the minimum ealue tons used to estimate the operating
range of the compressor Blade sections studied. A broad oper-
ating range for these sections was obserced, except for conditions
of highest pressure rise across the cascade corresponding to high
cambers at high inlet angles. These conditions are not typical
of usual design practice and no dificulty should ordinarily be
encountered in employing these Blade sections. In general, the
obsereed performance of NACA 66-series compressor blades in
cascade is considered to be very satisfactory.
INTRODUCTION
The design of an axial-flow compressor of high perform-
ance involves three-dimensionel high-speed flow of com-
ppressible viscous gases through successive rows of closely
spaced blades. No adequate theoretical solution for this
complete problem has yet appeared nor, from consideration
of the complexity of the problem, does it seem likely that
complete relationships will be established for some time.
Various aspects of the problem have been treated theore
cally, and the results of those studies aro quite usoful in
design caleulations. All such studies, howover, havo been
Dased on idealized flow, with effects of one or more such
physical realities as compressibility, finite blado spacing,
and viscosity neglected. Consideration of viscosity effects
hhas been particularly difficult. Tt appears, thereforo, that
in spito of advances in theoretical methods, theory ‘must
‘be supplemented by experimental data for some time (0
come.
Some of the information required can be obtained only.
by experiment in single-stage and multistage compressors.
‘Much of the information, however, can be obtained more
easily by isolating tho effects of each parameter for detailed
measurement. The effects of inlet angle, blede shape,
angle of attack, and solidity on tho turing angle and drag
produced can be studied by tests of compressor blades in
‘two-dimensional cescade tunnels. Cascade tests can pro-
vide many basic data concorning the performance of com-
pressors under widely varying conditions of operation with
relative easo, rapidity, and low cost. A number of success-
ful high-speed axiaLfiow compressors have been designed
by using low-speed cascade data directly. A moro refined
procedure, however, would uso cascade data, not as the
final answer, but as a broad base from which to work out
the threo-dimensfonal relations.
‘Date from a large number of two-dimensional cascade
tests have been available in this end other. countries for

somo years. Although the cascade configurations used in
these investigations were geometrically two dimensional, in
no ease except that of the porous-wall cascade of reference 1
was the flow believed to be two dimensional. This situa-
tion is ordinarily accepted on the grounds that the flow in
the compressor is slso subject to three-dimensional end
cffects. ‘That similar end conditions would exist in. ste-
tionary cascades and rotating blade rows seems unlikely.
As discussed in reference 1, there is evidence, however,
thet the flow through typical axial compressor blades is more
nearly like that in aerodynamically two-dimensional cas-
cades than like that in cascades which are only geometri-
cally two dimensional. Excellent correlation between
porous-wall cascade and rotor-blade pressure-distribution
‘and turning-angle values is shown for the design conditions
‘of the compressor investigation reported in reference 2.
‘Pho proper basic approach to the compressor design prob-
lem, therefore, would seem to be to separate the two-
dimensional effects from tho threo-dimonsional. This ap-
proach should also aid in the evaluation of the separete
affects of tip clearance and secondary fiow in axial com-
pressors. Therefore, systematic series of low-speed
cascade tests of the NACA 65-series compressor blade
sections were made by means of the porous-wall technique
to insure two dimensionality of the flow. ‘These results
and an analysis of the data aro presented, as well as sum-
marized data in the form of carpet plots for use in specific
design problems.

APPARATUS, TEST PROGRAM, AND PROCEDURE
DESCRIPTION OF TEST EQUIPMENT
‘The test facility used in this investigation was the Langley
S-inch low-speed, porous-wall cascade tunnel described in
reference 1 and shown in figures 1 and 2. During the course
of this program some further improvements wore required to
establish proper testing conditions at higher pressure rise
conditions. In particular, the boundary-layer buildup
behind the slot on the convex flexible end wall with high
pressure rise cascades was sufficient to cause separation and
destroy simulation of the infinite cascade even though the
blade flow was not separated. ‘This condition was corrected
by replacing the end wall with a porous flexible wall and
suction chamber. In addition tho large difference in flow
Jongth from the entrance cone to the side-wall slots between
the tunnel ends at the higher inlet air angles gavo quite
different boundary-layer thickness along the length of tho
side-wall slots and made uniform flow entering tho test
section difficult to obtain. This condition was improved
by making the changeable side plates porous and drawing
small emount of air through them. ‘The concave flexible,
‘end wall was made porous to provide a further control of
flow conditions through the test section.
‘The porous material found to be most satisfactory is com~
mercial woven monel filter cloth. ‘This cloth is available
in various meshes in widths up to 36 inches and can bo
calendered at the factory to reduce porosity and improve
surface smoothness. ‘The combination found most suitable

by 250 mesh with warp wire diameter of 0.010 inch and fill
wiro diameter of 0.008 inch. ‘The original thickness of
about 0.026 inch was reduced to 0.018 inch by calendering.
‘Tho resulting material has the porosity characteristics shown
in figure 3. ‘The primary advantages of this material over
others tried previously are its uniformity, flexibility, strength,
surface smoothness, and relatively low cost.
‘Tho blade family used in this investigation is formed by
combining basic thickness form with cambered mean
lines. ‘The basic thickness form used is the NACA 65(216)~
010 thickness form with the ordinates increased by 0.0015,
times tho chordwise stations to provide slightly increased
thickness toward the trailing edge. This thickness form
hhas been designated the 65-010 blower blade section in
references 3 and 4. It wos not derived for 10-percent
thickness but was sealed down from tho NACA 65,2-016
airfoil given in reference 8. As discussed in reference 5, the
scaling procedure gives the best results when it is restricted
to maximum thickness changes of afew percent. Subsequent
to the enscade studies of reference 3, in which the NACA
65-010 blower blade was first introduced, the basic thickness
form for the NACA 65-010 airfoil section was derived and
ineluded in reference 5. ‘The ordinates for the basic thick-
ness form of tho blower blade in reference 3 differ slightly
from the airfoil ordinates in reference & but are considered
interchangeable within the accuracy of the results reported
herein, Ordinates for both the sealed thickness form (ref.
3) and derived thickness form (ref. 5) are given in table I.

[TRET PROGRAM AND PROCEDURE
‘Test program—The test program was planned to provide
sofficient information to satisfy any conventional vector
diagram of the type shown in figure 5. ‘Tests of seven-
blade cascades were run with various combinations of inlet
air angle 6; of 30°, 45°, 60°, and 70°, solidity « of 0.50, 0.75,
1.00, 1.25, and 1.50, and eumbers from cx, of 0 to 2.7 over
the useful anglo-of-attack range. ‘The most complete test
sories wer run at solidities of 1.00 and 1.50; suflicient tests,
were made at the other solidities to guide interpolation and
extrapolation, ‘Tho combinations of 6, 0, and blade sec-
tion which were tested are tebulated in table TIT. The
camber range covered at solidties of 1.00 and 1.50 was
determined by one of two limitations. At the higher inlet
angles. progressively higher cambers were used until tho
limit loading had been reached, that is, until the design
condition coincided with stall; at lower inlet angles, how-
ever, design turning angle exceeded inlet anglo before the
limit loading had beon reached and the tests were terminated

“No design point was obtained for this combination,
there, Limit conditions were attained at 670°, «1.00,
41.25, and 1.50, and at ,=60°, o=1.00 and 1.50.
‘Test procedure.—It was shown in reference 1 that two-
dimensional flow can be achieved by controlling the removal
of boundary-layer air through porous test-section side walls
so that the downstream static pressure equals the ideal
value, corresponding to the turning angle, corrected for the
Dlocking effect of the wake. This criterion wag accordingly
used in these tests. Tn addition, the flexiblo end-wvall shapes,
and suetion-flow quantitios were adjusted to obtain uniform
‘upstream flow direction end wall static pressures, criteria,
of tivo-dimensional flow simulating an infinite cascade.
‘This proceduro necessitated an approximate meesurement,
of turning angle and wake size and an estimate of the correct
iso before the final settings could bo made.
Initially, this system requived some cut-and-try procedure
but after the initial tests at each combination of f and «a
chart similar to figure 5 of reference 1 could be drawn to
assist in estimating the pressure rise. An experienced
operator could make the required estimates and settings
very quickly by this procedure. Spot calculations of the
correct pressure rises were made after completion of tests
to check the accuracy of the values used.
‘Tests wero made at each cascade combination shown in
tablo IIT over a range of angles of attack at intervals of 2°
to 3°, In general, the tests covered the interval from nega-
tive to positive stall, where stall was determined by a large
{ncreaso in wake size. ‘The principal exeoptions occurred for
Tow cambered blades where negative stall would have

occurred at negative turning. It was found that the small
wall boundary-layer buildup for negative turning angles and
hence negative pressure rises would heve required a less
porous material than that normally used, to avoid excess air
removal while maintaining sufficient suction pressure diff
ential to avoid local reverse flow through the porous material,
Te was not deemed worthwhile to change the porous material
to obtein data in this relatively uninteresting range. For the
NACA 65-010 section at i=80°, however, the diffieulty
persisted well above 0° turning, and this combination was
tested with both porous and solid walls.
Tho tests wore entirely within a speed rango considered
incompressible. ‘Tho Bulk of the tests at solidities of 1.00
and 1,50 wore run at an entering velocity of 95 feot per
second. For tho usual 5-inch blade chord, the Reynolds
number was 245,000. Some information near the design
point was obtained at higher effective Reynolds number for
‘most cascade combinations by adding roughness to the blade
Teading edges in the form of ¥einch-wide strips of masking
tape draped around the leading edges from wall to wall.
In addition, some tests near design conditions were run at
speed of 135 feet per second and a Reynolds number of
346,000 with and without roughness. ‘Two cascade com-
binations were tested at design conditions over a rango of
Reynolds numbers from 160,000 to 470,000 to assist in esti-
mating performance at Reynolds numbers other than the
usual test value. In order to provide further information on
sealo effects, two cascade combinations wero tested through
the range with leading-edge roughness at the standard
Reynolds number and in the smooth conditions at a Reynolds
number of 445,000. For solidities of 0.50 and 0.76 the tunnel
could not accommodate seven blades of 5-inch chord; the
blade chord was reduced to 2.5 inches and the Reynolds num-
ber to approximately 200,000 for those tests. Tests with
roughness were made near the design point for solidities
below 1.00, but Reynolds numbers higher than 200,000
could not be obtained with the existing equipment
Test measurements.—The blade pressure distribution was
measured at the midspan position of the central airfoil at
cach angle of attack. In addition, surveys of wako total-
pressure loss and turning angle were made downstream of the
cascade. ‘The total-pressure surveys were made with a non-
integrating multitube rake approximately 1 chord down-
stream of the blade trailing edges. ‘Turning anglo surveys
‘wore made by the “null method” with a claw-type yaw hond;
since the yaw dovieo was mounted on track at the rear of
the tunnel the distance from tho blades varied from about
1 to 8 chords in tho flow direetion depending upon the inlet~
and turning-angle combination. Flow discharge angle
readings were taken at a number of points downstream of
several blade passages along the tunnel center line. These
readings were averaged to obtain the final value, Sinco the
angle readings in the wake deviated several degrees from the
average reading, and the direction of tho deviation varied
consistently with the direction of the total pressure gradient,
tho accuracy of readings in the wake was questioned. ‘There-
fore, the values obtained when the wake readings wore
included and excluded in the averaging process wore com-
pared for a number of tests. ‘The resulting turning-angleSYSTEMATIC TWO-DIMENSIONAL CASCADE TESTS OF NACA 65-SHRIRS COMPRESSOR BLADES AT LOW SPREDS
curves compared very wel, but scatter was considerably less
‘when only the readings outside the wake were used to obtain
the turning-angle value. This latter procedure has been
‘adopted as the standard method of measuring the flow dis-
chargo direction. Static pressure and upstream flow angles
wre measured approximately 1 chord upstream of the
blade row. ‘Total pressure was measured in the settling
chamber. Pressures were obtained by orifices with pressure
leads to manometer boards, Angles of flow were again
obtained by use of a claw-type yaw head by the null method.
Csloulations —Pressure distribution and wake-survey data
were recorded and force values calculated nondimensionally
3 coefficients based numerically on the upstream dynemic
pressure q1. This choice was dictated partly for convenience
in reducing tho data (standardization of g, permits use of
manometer scales which give nondimensional values directly)
‘and partly because information based on entering flow was
considered most convenient for design use, particularly when
critical speed is important.
All forces due to pressure and momentum changes across
the blade row were summed to obtain the resultant blade
{oree coefficient ér.. In this process the wake total-pressure
deficit was converted to an integrated momentum difference
by the method given for the drag caleulation in the appendix
of reference 5. ‘This wake momentum difference, expressed
nondimensionally, is designated tho wake coellicient cus; it
represents the momentum difference between the wake and
the stream outside the wake, and is based on q, numerically.
‘The wake coeficient is not considered to be a true drag
cooficient, but is used merely for convenience jn assessing
tho contribution of the wake in the summation of forces.
‘The resultant-force coefficient: was resolved into compo-
nents perpendicular and parallel to the vector mean velocity
Wr (Gee fig. 6) to obtain the lift coefficient cx, and the drag
coefficient a1, respectively. ‘The mean velocity was cal-
culated as the vector average of tho velocities far upstream
and far downsiream. The velocity far downstream was
obtained from measurements just behind the blades by using
a momentum-weighted average of the velocity just behind
the blades, ‘This rather detailed mothod was found neces-
sary to give consistent drag values, Since the resultant
force is very nearly perpendicular to the mean velocity, the
value of the component parallel to the mean velocity is quite
sensitive to mean-velocity direction. Attempts at using the
downstream velocity outside tho wake for averaging rather
than the momentum-average velocity gave very erratic drag
results and indicated that mean velocity directions obtained
in that manner were not reliable, Tn addition to the lift and
dvag, the section normal-force coefficient ey xr. Was obtained
by computing the component of the resultant-force coefficient
perpendicular to the blade chord line. ‘This normal-forco
coefficient was compared with the normal-force coefficient
év.ra obtained by integration of the blade surface pressure
distribution os a check on the accuracy of individual tests.
A detailed derivation of the method of calculating the foree
coefficients is given in appendix A.
Accuracy of results.—In general tho tuming-angle values
measured are believed to be accurate within +£0.5° near the
design values. ‘The correlation procedure used is believed
nT
to have improved further the accuraey of the design values
in the final results. For tests far from design, that is, near
positive or negative stall, the accuracy was reduced some-
what. Tn addition, at an inlet angle of 70° with sections of
zero camber, satisfactory measurements were very difficult
to obtain and the accuracy was reduced.
‘As noted in the section describing calculation methods, the
Dlade normal-force coefficient cy a, calculated from pressure-
rise and momentum considerations was compared with the
normal-force coefficient cy.p. obtained from the pressure
distribution as a check on the overall accuracy of individual
tests. Since these values would be affected by error in
tuming-angle, surface pressure or wake-survey readings, or
by failure to achieve two dimensionality of the flow, this
‘comparison is a check on the overall acceptability of the
results, A difference of 5 percent between the two normal-
force couffcients was set as the outside limit for acceptance
of individual tests for lift coefficients above 0.2; below lift
cooflicients of 0.2 a direct numerical comparison was made
using a limit of +£0.01. Tho agreement was well within
‘the 5-pereent limit for most of the tests as originally run, and
only a few conditions had to be repeated. ‘The accuracy of
the lift coeficients is directly comparable to that of the
normal-force coefficients. Tho accuracy of wake-cocfficient
and dreg-coeflicient values will be discussed Inter under

havo been selected to illustrate the variation through the
angle-of-attack range for each combination, The section

‘The information which is most useful for choosing the
blade sections to fulfill compressor design vector diagrams
is summarized in figures 91 to 111. The variation of turning

presented for one combination of inlet angle and solidity in
each of the figures 91 to 106. ‘Trends of the slopes of the
curves of turning angle against angle of attack near design

angle, and solidity, is presented for several combinations of
the parameters so that interpolation to the conditions of a
design velocity dingram is relatively easy.
‘The selection of the blade section and the blade setting
required to fulfil a given velocity diagram at design condi-
tions requires several interpolations and cross plots of the
date presented in figures 6 to 84, In order to facilitate these
interpolations, a carpet plotting technique described in
reference 6 has been used to correlate the date, This
technique, for whieh details are explained in appendix B,
permits a function of several variables to be presented on @
single graph and such a graph lends itself readily to interpola-
tions for intermediate values of the variables plotted.
Carpet plots summarizing the present date are presented in
figures 112 to 116, and an example illustrating their use is
included in appendix B.
DISCUSSION
DESIGN CONDITIONS
‘The values and shape of the blade-surface pressure distribu-
tion aro important eriteria for predicting the conditions of
best operation at high Mach numbers. Velocity peaks oc-
curring on either surface in low-speed tests would be ac-
centuated at high speeds, and supersonic velocities with at-
tendant shock losses would occur at relatively low entering
‘Mech numbers. ‘The selection of the angle of attack desig-
nated as “design” for each combination of inlet angle,
solidity, and camber is based on the premise that the blade
section Will be required to operate at Mach numbers near tho
critical value. ‘The trend of pressure-distribution shape over
the anglo-of-attack range was examined for each cascade
combination, and the angle for which no velocity peaks
occurred on either surfece was selected as being optimum
from the standpoint of high-speed usage. In general, the
design angle so selected is near the middlo of tho low-drag.
range thus indicating efficient section operation for angles,
a fow degrees higher or lower than the design condition. ‘The
choices of design angle of attack are indicated by an arrow
on the bladesection-characteristic plots of figures 6 to 84.
‘The design angles are also shown by cross bars on the turning-
angle summary curves in figures 91 to 108.
Correlation of the design angles of attack and design turn-
ing angles over the rango of camber, solidity, and inlet angle
is given by figures 108 to 111 in 2 manner convenient for
design use. ‘The correlation is excellent; smooth curves re-
sult when any two of the three parameters aro used as inde-
pendent variables.
‘The section-characteristic curves of figures 6 to 84 indicate
that, in general, the design points chosen do not give maxi-
‘mum lift-drag ratios for low- and medium-speed operation.
For designs which will not operate near eritieal speed, there-
fore, higher efficiency could be obtained by using angles of
attack several degrees higher than the design points pre-
sented. ‘This procedure must be used with caution, however,
at the higher camber and inlet-angle combinations since the
section operating range becomes quite narrow for combina-
tions of highest camber and inlet angle corresponding to
REPORT 1308—NATIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR AERONAUTICS
tho highest values of Apia. It is recommended tht the
individual pressuro distributions and soction-characteristio,
ccurves bo examined before departure from the specified design
points is made.
Pressure distribution and boundary leyers.—Vor many of
the tests at angles of attack near and below design, there is
evidence that a region of laminar separation of the boundar
layer flow occurred on the convex blade surface; this sopa-
rated boundary layer then became turbulent and reattached
to the blade surface as a relatively thick turbulent boundary
layer. The mechanism of such a flow sequence is deseribed
for the isolated airfoil in reference 7. ‘Tho laminar separation
is indicated by a relatively flat region in tho pressure distri-
bution on the convex surface and tho turbulent reattachment
is characterized by erapid pressure recovery just downstream
of the separated region. ‘This low pattorn can be seen clearly
‘in many of tho figures but is particularly evident in figures
42 (a), 42 (0), 65 (b) to 56 (d), and 60 (a) to 66 (@). For
some tests, Inminar separation appeared to occur on the
concavesurfaceaswell. This is noticeable in figures 42 (b),
42 (@), 42 (¢), 66 (6), and 66 (€).
‘The extent of laminar boundary-layer flow which occurs on
‘an airfoil surface is affected by Roynolds number, stream
turbulence level, airfoil surface condition, and surface pros-
sure gradient. Increases in Reynolds number, stream turbu-
once, and surface roughness would promote earlier transitio
Qualitatively a gradient of decreasing surfaco pressure would
be required to maintain laminar flow if the Reynolds number,
stream turbulence, surface roughness, or the combination of
these, which might be referred to as “effective Reynolds
number,” were high enough to favor transition. At the
turbulence level of the S-inch cascade tunnel, however,
aminar flow and laminer seperation on the convex surface
persisted to Reynolds numbers up to 248,000 even when the
surface pressure gradient was slightly unfavorable. ‘Tho
addition of leading-edge roughness, as described in the section
“Test Procedure” reduced the extent of the laminar separa~
tion region, but did not eliminate it in somo eases. In view
of the thick boundary liyer which results from laminar
separation and reattachment, it appears thet the minimum
final boundary-layer thickness and section drag coefficient
‘would result if the Reynolds number and turbuleneo values
were such as to cause transition before laminar separation
occurred. Use of leading-edge roughness to reduce an ex-
tended laminar separation region would probably result in a
thinner final boundary layer than that for the smooth blade
at tho same Reynolds number but would probably result in a
thicker boundary layer than that for the smooth blade at
hhigh Reynolds number. A thick turbulent boundary layer
would be expected to promote turbulent separation near the
trailing edge of compressor blades which produce a signifieant
‘pressure rise.
Wake coefficient and drag coefiicient—As noted pro-
viously, the wake coefficient o., expresses the momentum
difference between the wake flow and the downstream flow
outside the wake in manner convenient for use in summing
blade forces. ‘The wake cosffcient is, of course, directlySYSTEMATIC TWO-DIMENSIONAL CASCADE TESTS OF NACA 65-ERIES COMPRESSOR BLADES AT LOW SPEEDS
dependent upon boundary-layer thickness and shape, and
changes in the boundary layor with changes in effective
Reynolds number are refleoted in the wake-coefficient values.
Furthermore, if the effective Reynolds number is neer the
condition where laminar separation may or may not occur,
the change in surface pressure gradient with change in angle
of attack would control the presence and extent of Jeminar
separation on either blade surface. Obviously erratic varia
tions in the value of the wake coefficients would result under
those circumstences. ‘The blade-section-characteristic curves
of figures 6 to 84 show that in most cases the wake-coeflicient
values woro irregular as the angle of attack was varied in
the region near design at the usual test Reynolds number of
246,000. With either higher Reynolds number or leeding-
edge roughness, or both, the rapid local pressure recovery
associnted with boundary-layer reattachment was less evi-
dent, in tho surface pressure distributions and the wake
cocflicient usually was reduced. For a few cases, notably
those of figures 34 (), 35 (g), 68 (g), and 8¢ (¢), leading-edgo
roughness increased the wake coefficient, however; in those
cases the roughness apparently produced a more severe
turbulent boundary leyer than laminar separation and re-
attachment did.
‘The trend of deag coefficient c41, defined as the component
of resultant force parallel to the mean velocity, was similar
to that of wake coefficient. ‘The drag curves were quite
irregular near design angle of attack and the values measured
varied as much as 30 pereent with Reynolds number and
roughness. Obviously the values of both drag coefficient and
lift-drag ratio near design are not sufficiently reliable to use
direetly in design analysis. ‘These values should be of
some use for comparison purposes, however. ‘The large
drag rise associated with positive and negative stall should
be relatively insensitive to Reynolds number effects, because
tho pressure gradients on the critical surfaces are then un-
favorable to laminar flow and therefore should be useful for
determining offective operating range.
‘The trend of drag coefficient with Reynolds number nest
the design condition for the NACA 65-(12)10 blade section
at By of 60°, ¢ of 1.00, and A, of 45°, « of 1.50 shown in figure
85 (a) sorves to indiente the magnitude of the Reynolds
number effect. Increasing the stream turbulence by the use
of a }inch-mesh sereen upstream of the test section lowered
the drag coefficients at low Reynolds number, and reduced
the Reynolds number at which the drag coefficients become
essentially constant with Reynolds number. The compari
son of eg, values through the angle-of-attack range for the
samo easeade combinations at two Reynolds numbers in
figures 85 (b) and 85 (0) gives some further indicetion of
Reynolds number effect. For R of 445,000, tho drag cooffi-
cients are lower and the curves are smoother than for 7 of,
245,000. ‘The addition of leading-edge roughness in figure
86 (b) smoothed the drag curve but did not give the same
deorense in drag that the high R did. ‘There appears to be
some effect on the angle of attack at which the drag rises
rapidly in figure 85 (c) but since the effect: was not the same
in figure 85 (b) no conclusions can be drawn.
‘Turning angle and lift—Figure 85 (x) shows that the
effect of Reynolds number on turning angle near design ay is
20507-0048
79
almost insignificant for R between 220,000 and 470,000.
‘This is borne out by the fect that throughout figures 6 to 84
changes in @ with Reynolds number and roughness were, in
general, within the limits of measuring accuracy. Below R
of 220,000 a decrease of design turning angle ean be expected.
Reynolds number appears to have some effect on tuming
angle near stall in figure 85 (c), but again the effect has not
been definitely established. Tt can bo concluded that, the
design turning angles presented are correct for R above
220,000, but that the effect of near stall is unknown.
‘Laminer separation hed no appreciable effect on the
measured lift. ‘The lift-coofficient values for a given test,
agreed well at low and high Reynolds numbers and with
and without roughness. ‘The normal-force coefficients ob-
tained by integration of the pressure distributions also
changed very little with changes in Reynolds number and
roughness,
In order to estimate the useful operating angle-of-attack
range of the various sections at the several solidity and inlet
angle conditions tested, Howell's index of twice tho mini-
‘mum drag (ref. 8) was used to select the upper and lower
limits of angle of attack. As discussed previously in the
section concerning Reynolds number effects, the accuracy
of the measured values of drag coefficient near design angle
of attack suffered due to laminar-flow separation. The
minimum value of drag coefficient could not be determined
exactly end an approximate value was used to determine the
operating range. For most of the test configurations, the
drag coefficient changed rapidly with angle of attack near
the ends of the useful range, so an error in the value of mini-
‘mum drag used would have only small effect on tho operat
ing range value. Some scatter in the results was evident,
however.
No significant effect of solidity was observed. Most values
at constant camber and inlet angle fell within the scatter of
the points. A tendency for the range to increase slightly as
tho solidity was increased seas detectable at p,=45°, but this
was not evident for other inlet angles. ‘The results plotted
in figure 86 indicate that the major determinant of the oper-
ating range is inlet angle. As the inlet angle is increased,
the usable range of angle of attack is decreased, with greater
changes indicated for angles above design than for angles
below design. ‘The camber of the section affects the oper-
‘ating range in the following manner for angles of attack
above design: at an inlet angle of 30°, tho range increased
with increasing camber; at inlet angles of 45°, 60°, and 70°,
the opposite trend occured. For values of a less than
design, little change in range with camber was indicated for
:=30°; at higher inlet angles, the range decreased as the
section camber incressed.
With high entering velocities, the section operating range
would be reduced because of a more rapid increase of drag
‘at angles of attack well above or below design. Further,
the comparison between sections of different camber, at
constant inlet angle and solidity, would be altered es the
flow velocities relative to the blado surfaces exceed the local
velocity of sound.720
‘Tho ideal, nondimensional pressure rise Ap/gy across a. two-
dimensional cascade is specified when the inlet angle and
turning angle aro known, since the ratio of the flow areas
determines the pressure rise. Since the mass flow is con-
stant, the actual pressure riso is less than the ideal because
of the “blocking” effect of the wake on the downstream flow
area. For given inlet and turning angles, the blocking effect
‘would be more severe for higher solidity, tince the unaffected
flow area is reduced. For incompressible flow the nondi-
‘mensional pressure rise is equal to one minus the dynamic-
pressure ratio, thet ia, S21, ‘Tho actual dynamic.

pressure ratio becomes higher than the ideal because of the
wake blocking effect. ‘The ideal dynamic-pressure ratios,
and the actual ratios at design turning angles for two solid~
ities, aro summarized in figure 87 for the range of inlet and
turning angles of the tests. ‘The dynamie-pressure ratios for
individual tests aro given by the short bars at the 100-
percent points of the pressure-distribution plots in figures 6
to 84, Wake blocking effeots would be changed by the same
Reynolds number and roughness factors which change the
wake coefficient; however, the percentage change in dynamic-
pressure ratio would be small.
Tnformation on the maximum Ioading which can be
achieved in a compressor blade row is important in tho
design of high performance axial-low compressors. As noted
viously, the high pressure riso associated with large turn-
ing at high inlet angles promotes turbulent separation so
that at inlet angles of 60° and 70° the stall angle of attack
moved progressively closer to tho design value with inereas-
ing section camber. ‘The limit turning is reached when the
‘maximum turning angle is no greater than design turning
angle. The practical limit would be somewhat lower to
sive a reasonable operating range.
Approximate limit turning was reached at 6, of 60°, ¢ of
1,00 and 1.50, and at 6, of 70°, ¢ of 1.00, 1.25, and 1.
Information from those tests is given in terms of s commonly
‘used loading parameter, o¢im) in figure 89. Both the actual
test values of the parameter, and the ideal values calculated
using the test inlet and turning angles are presented. Nota
that the lift coefficient is here based, numerically, on the
mean velocity, to conform to the usual form of the parameter.
Arbitrarily chosen constant values of cin have often been
used os maximum allowable values in design analyses. ‘Tho
fallacy of using any constant value as a limit is clesely shown
in figure 89; the true limiting value increases with increasing
solidity and decreases with increasing inlet angle. “Since no
limits were reached for inlet angles of 45° and 30°, itis clear
that the limitation bas very little significance there except,
pethaps, at very low solidities. ‘The phenomenon is not yet
‘well enough understood to permit the choice of parameter
which could define the overall limitation as e single value.

SUMMARY OF RESULTS
‘Tho systematic investigation of NACA 65-series compressor
blade sections in a low-speed cascade tunnel has provided
design data for all conditions within the usual range of
application. ‘The results of this investigation indicate a
continuous variation of blade-section performance as the
important, cascade parameters blade camber, inlet angle,
‘and solidity are varied over the useful range. Summary
curves have been prepared to facilitate selection of blade
sections and sottings for compressor-design velocity diagrams
for optimum high-speed operation.
‘Upper limits for the loading parameter aja have been
established for some conditions, and the invalidity of using
‘constant value of the parameter has been shown.
‘The variation of the useful section operating range with
camber, inlet angle, end solidity has been shown. ‘The
‘operating range was found to be broad except for the highest
pressure-rise conditions.
Compressor-blade cascade data have been presented in
the form of design carpet plots, which greatly facilitate the
selection of compressor blade sections required to fulfill
‘velocity diagrams. Plots of this type also are shown to
increase greatly the usefulness of available cascade data by
iding a simple method of obtaining the off-design varia
in turning angle with angle of attack.

CARPET-PLOTTING TECHNIQUE
Sinco the earpet-plotting technique is not too well known,
‘a description of this technique will be helpful. examine
first figure 114 (a). Tt will be noted thet this figure is
‘composed of five similar and separate plots. Each of these
plots shows the variation of the turning sngle @ with tho
angle of attack a and the inlet-air angle é for a given solidity
a and a camber cx, of 0.40. Tt might be here pointed out
that the tests were made at four inlet-air angles, 30°, 45°,
60°, and 70°, The leftmost plot, which ropresonts a solidity
of 1.50, is constructed by plotting turning angle @ as ordinate
‘against angle of attack a as abscisse for f,=30°. Then,
for a A, of 45°, the a; scale is shifted to the right a number of
grid units proportional to the 15° increment in ® and the
turning angles are plotted as before. ‘This procedure of
shifting the a scale is followed until the range of &; values
for which test deta are available hes been completed.
Curves of constant angle of attack may then bo drown
between the several curves of a against 6,50 thet the removal
of the a abscissa seales is possible. At this point, curves
of a against @ may be filled in at 5° intervals of & by using
tho proper abscisen increment, ‘The plot thus constructed
is called 0 GaisB: carpet.
A b,au6, carpet is constructed for the next solidity of 1.25
by shifting the angle-of-attack scales to the right a number
of grid units proportional to the solidity increment of 0.25
and sufficient to keep any overlapping of the 8a,2 carpets
to a minimum. ‘This procedure previously described in
constructing the first @a,8: carpet is then repeated. ‘The
full range of solidities for which test data aro available
(0.60 to 1.50) may be presented by spacing and constructing
the 0,8: eaxpets on this plot called a 6,au,8,¢ carpet plot.
Similar G,a,81,¢ carpet plots are then made for each of the
other cambers, namely, ¢1o=0.8, 1.2, 1.5, and 1.8 shown in
figures 114 (b), 114 (@), 114 (@), and 114 (0), respeetively.
‘For intermediate camber conditions, linear interpolations
between G,a;,,0 carpets could be used or these #,c,Bi¢
plots could be combined into # single carpet plot to make
possible a single graphical interpolation. For example,
figure 114 (a) may be combined with figure 114 (b) by again
shifting the angle-of-attack scales to the right a number of
grid units proportional to the camber increment of 0.40.
Overlapping of the 04,61, carpets can be avoided by shift-
ing also the 6 ordinate seale vertically a number of grid units
proportional to the camber increment of 0.49. ‘This com-
bination of a vertical and a horizontal shift is facilitated by
‘tho uso of register points labeled “AB” on both plots 114 (a)
and 114 (b). ‘The AB register points ean be superimposed
and the grids alined. In like manner, if all of the register
points are used, figures 114 (a), 114 (b), 114 (c), 114), and
114 (¢) may be assembled into a single carpet plot. Figure
115 was made by combining plots 114 (a), 114 (¢), and 114
(©) representing cambers of 04, 1.2, and 1.8, respectively.
On this carpet, the design angle of attack is indicated by a
dotted line and the approximate occurrence of twice mini-
mum drag is indicated by a dashed line. Since the origins
of tho @ sosles for cambers of 1.2 and 1.8 are shifted ver-
tically a number of grid units proportional to the camber
increment, the ordinate scale is no longer a truo @ scale for
these higher eambers and is called Y. When an interpola~
tion is made for any camber above 0.4, the @ value may be
obtained by substituting Y in the following expression:
0=Y—50(e1,.—0.4)
Figures 114 (b) and 114 (@) representing eambers of 0.8 and
1.5 wore omitted from figure 118 in order to reduce the size
of the plot. It-will also be noted that date are availeble for
cambers of 0.8 and 1.5 at only two solidities, 1.00 and 1.50.
In view of the necessity for shifting the separate plots to
provide for combinations of the several variables, as ilus-
trated in figure 115, the carpet plots assembled in the present
bound copy are useful only as a means of demonstrating this
technique. For this reason, larger separate plots for use in
compressor design have been prepared and aro obtainable
on request from NACA Headquarters, Washington, D. C.
‘Tho use of the carpet plots presented ean be shown best

‘two cambers of figure 116 produce design turning angles
which agreo with the design carpot plot within 1.0°. If
greater accuracy is desired, a faired curve between tho
threo cambers should be used. In figuro 116, tho design
angle of attack is indicated by a short-dashed line and the
approximate occurrence of twice minimum drag is indicated
by a long-dashed line.
