The Development of Turbine Engines in France—III: An Account of Some of the Experimental Work Carried Out by the Research Departments of the Société Rateau at La Courneuve

Abstract

When a cascade of blades is tested in a wind‐tunnel, the principal measurements are directed towards the determination of the characteristics of each streamline in the plane of the exit from the blading. Information is thus derived concerning the behaviour of each blade, so that the losses may be identified and analysed, and the way opened for an improvement in the efficiency.
