Abstract: The effect of blockage and work-lost caused by end-wall
boundary layer in axial-flow compressors is discussed in this paper, and a new method for
computing the blockage and the work-lost coefficient suitable for engineering design and
analysis of axial compressors is proposed. The off-design performance analysis of two
multistage axial-flow compressors agrees well with the experimental results.
Keywords: multi-stage axial-flow compressor,blockage coefficient,
work-lost coefficient.
