The diameter of the airfoil-probe tube is 3ram, which is configured as 300% amplification of some particular airfoil-probe ac- cording to the geometrical similarity principle. The results show that the airfoil-probe tubes have a negative in- fluenc~ on the flow capacity of the cascade at all investigation points. The separations and the large scale stream- wise vortices that induced by the airfoil-probe tube on the pressure side cause most the losses at the high Mach number. The influence of the airfoil-probe tube on the flow field in the vicinity of the pressure side surface is lo- cal separation at the low Mach number. The airfoil-probe tubes also have a clearly effect on the leakage flow. It decreases the mass flow of the leakage flow and weakens the intensity of the leakage vortex, but enlarges the in- fluence area. The total pressure loss of the case that the tube is installed at the half chordwise position is generally lower than other cases especially at the high Mach number, it can even decrease the losses compared with the ba- sic case.展开更多
