Tip clearance flows in axial compressors : stall inception and stability enhancement

The flow in the rotor tip clearance gap in an axial compressor influences the loss levels and the stall onset point. The role of tip clearance flows in the stall inception process is still debated, though. The aim of this thesis is to improve the fundamental understanding of the tip clearance flow f...
