摘要 |
A plasma leakage flow control system for a compressor is disclosed, comprising a circumferential row of compressor blades, an annular casing surrounding the tips of the blades, located radially apart from the tips of the blades and at least one annular plasma generator located on the annular casing. The annular plasma generator comprises an inner electrode and an outer electrode separated by a dielectric material. A gas turbine engine having a plasma leakage flow control system further comprises an engine control system which controls the operation of the annular plasma generator such that the blade tip leakage flow can be changed.
