Abstract
A method is presented for determining the unsteady flow field and the aerodynamic response which occurs when a finite oscillating cascade is placed in a supersonic stream, which has a subsonic velocity component normal to the cascade. Solutions are obtained through the combined use of closed-form and numerical procedures. Computed results indicate that the finite cascade analysis should provide a reasonable indication of the influence of the cascade parameters on the response of the infinite array. A brief parametric study for a typical configuration reveals possible aerodynamic instabilities when the blades perform single-degree-of-freedom pitching oscillations over a broad range of frequencies and interblade phase angles.
