The optimal micro-vane configuration reduces total pressure loss by up to 26% in compressor cascades.
Leading-edge micro-vanes mitigate corner separation at 0° incidence and trailing-edge separation at 6° incidence angles.
Turbulence promoters shorten laminar separation bubbles and delay turbulent separation on the suction surface.
Micro-vanes enhance mixing between mainstream and low-energy corner flow while reducing flow unsteadiness.
