"A Supersonic Compressor Rotor And Methods For Assembling Same"

Abstract: A supersonic compressor rotor includes a rotor disk (48) including a body extending between a radially inner surface (56) and a radially outer surface (58), a plurality of vanes (46) coupled to the body, the vanes extending outwardly from the rotor disk (48), adjacent the vanes forming a pair (74) and oriented such that a flow channel is defined between each the pair of adjacent vanes, the flow channel extending between an inlet opening (76) and an outlet opening (78), and at least one supersonic compression ramp (98) positioned within the flow channel (80), the supersonic compression ramp configured to condition a fluid being channeled through the flow channel such that the fluid is characterized by a first velocity at the inlet opening and a second velocity at the outlet opening, each of the first velocity and the second velocity being supersonic with respect to the rotor disk surfaces.
