Abstract: Low-pressure-ratio fan stage performance measurement requires precise measurement of conditions upstream and downstream of the fan stage. This presentation will discuss the rotating rake arrays used for the recent Boundary Layer Ingesting Inlet-Distortion-Tolerant Fan experiment in the NASA Glenn 8 by 6 foot wind tunnel. To achieve precise measurements, simulations of the rake sampling from pre-test CFD (Computerized Fluid Dynamics) solutions were used to optimize the number and locations of …
