  • Patent number: 9726197
    Abstract: A turbomachine element including an airfoil set including a plurality of airfoils that are offset from one another in a lateral direction, and upstream from at least one end of each airfoil, a group of a plurality of vortex generator devices that are mutually offset both laterally and axially.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9650896
    Abstract: A turbine engine blade, including an airfoil which extends radially between a blade root and an airfoil tip, axially between a leading edge and a trailing edge, and tangentially between a pressure side and a suction side, the profile of the blade having a series of basic profiles, in a form of a vane section, stacked on one another along a stacking line connecting the center of gravity of all the vane sections. The projection of the stacking line of the airfoil on at least one plane extending radially from the blade root includes a double tangential inversion of the direction of the curvature thereof, located in the last thirty percent of the height of the airfoil, the projection plane being positioned substantially perpendicular to the chord of the blade.

  • Patent number: 9488179
    Abstract: A turbine engine compressor including a casing having its inside wall defining an aerodynamic reference surface for a gas-passing passage and in which a rotor wheel having radial blades is mounted. A circumferential trench is formed in the inside wall of the casing. Its shape is defined from upstream to downstream by three surfaces, respectively an upstream surface, a middle surface, and a downstream surface, which surfaces are substantially conical. The upstream surface extends upstream from the leading edges of the blades. The middle surface is substantially parallel to the aerodynamic reference surface. The downstream surface extends downstream at least as far as the trailing edges of the blades. The junction between the middle and downstream surfaces is in a range of 30% to 80% or 50% to 65% of the axial length of the blades starting from their leading edges.

  • Patent number: 9334878
    Abstract: A blade assembly for a turbomachine compressor includes a plurality of individual devices acting on the flow. The individual devices are provided upstream of the blade assembly and are formed at least so as to generate vortices. Each of the individual devices is arranged on an upstream face of a shroud around which a recirculating flow passes, circulating in a cavity. The recirculating flow is reinjected into the principal flow such that the individual devices act simultaneously on the principal flow and on the recirculating flow.
