Abstract

See full text

A blade includes an airfoil body defined by a concave pressure side outer wall and a convex suction side outer wall that connect along a leading edge and a trailing edge. The blade also includes a first corrugated surface extending from the trailing edge to the leading edge on an outer surface of the concave pressure side outer wall, and/or a second corrugated surface extending from the trailing edge to the leading edge on an outer surface of the convex suction side outer wall. The blade acts to reduce flow velocity losses associated with wake mixing by accelerating the mixing process from the source of the wake to minimize inflated unsteady mixing that occurs within a downstream blade row.
