The shock wave boundary layer interaction on the suction side of a transonic compressor blade is one of the main objectives of the TFAST project (Transition Location Effect on Shock Wave Boundary Layer Interaction). In order to look more closely into the flow structure on the suction side of the blade, a design of a turbine passage model in a rectilinear transonic wind tunnel was proposed. The model which could reproduce the flow structure, the shock wave location, the pressure distribution and the boundary layer development similar to the obtained in a reference cascade profile is the main objective of the design presented here. The design of the proposed test section is very challenging, because of the existence of a shock wave, its interaction with the boundary layer and its influence on the 3-D flow structure in the test section. The paper presents the influence of the test section geometry configuration on the flow structure as an effect of the shock wave boundary layer interaction.

The aerodynamics of transonic fans is discussed with emphasis on the use of three-dimensional design techniques, such as blade sweep and lean, to improve their performance. In order to study the interaction of these 3D features with the shock pattern a series of five different designs is produced and analysed by CFD. It is found that the 3D features have remarkably little effect on the shock pattern near the tip where the shock must remain perpendicular to the casing. Lower down the blade significant shock sweep, and hence reduced shock loss, can be induced by 3D design but this is usually at the expense of reduced stall margin and increased loss elsewhere along the blade span. Overall, very little change in efficiency is produced by blade sweep or lean. However, forwards lean of the rotor does produce a small increase in mass flow. Radial migration of the boundary fluid on the suction surface behind the shock is shown to play a large part in the aerodynamics near the blade tip.
