Tip-Leakage Flow in a Low-Pressure Compressor: Comparison Between Low- and Medium-Fidelity Modelings
A low-order 3D Hybrid Panel Method predicts the flow around low-pressure compressor rotors and feeds dedicated tip-leakage models — in under a minute per case. Benchmarked against RANS on the LMFA NACA65 rotor, it reproduces rotor aerodynamics well and tip-leakage trends accurately for small tip gaps, supporting fast early-stage design.
