Abstract
An experimental study of the influence of tip clearance on the stall limits of compressor blades was conducted on a two dimensional rectilinear cascade. By using the mirror and image technique the end wall boundary layer in the gap was dispensed with. The clearance was found to relieve the pressure gradient and to retard stalling. The loading on the blade near the slot was found to be higher than that at a distance further along.
