This paper is concerned with the viscous interaction between rotor and stator The viscous interaction is caused by wakes from upstream blades. The cascade was composed with five blades and cylinders were placed to make wakes and their location was about 50 percent of blade chord upstream. The location of cylinders were varied in the cascade axis with 0, 20, 40, 60 and 80 percent of pitch length. The velocity distribution in the cascade passage were measured using single slanted hot-wire and the ones in the boundary layer using boundary probe. As a result, wakes decay more rapidly at suction surface and more slowly at pressure surface. And the measurement of momentum thickness of cascade shows that the momentum thickness is larger near the blade surface. From measurement of blade boundary layer, turbulent intensity is also larger near the blade surface because wakes collide the boundary layer And wakes make boundary layer thickness smaller and delay flow separation.

Numerical analyses on the aerodynamic characteristics of a counter rotating axial flow fan were conducted for the development of an axial type in-line duct fan. The counter rotating fan has a front rotor and a rear rotor which are counter rotating each other. Blade design of the counter rotating fan was done by extension of design method for axial flow fan which consists of rotor and stator blades. Through flow analysis was performed using matrix method which is applied for flow fields prediction of compressors or turbines. Aerodynamic characteristics and characteristic curves of the counter rotating fan were analyzed by expansion of the frequency domain panel method with duct modeling. Pressure losses were higher at leading edge and hub region of rotor blades. Characteristic curve of the counter rotating fan was overpredicted without consideration of viscous effect.
