Abstract: A turbomachine for an aircraft is provided. The turbomachine includes a plurality of radially-extending blades and an annular endwall opposite the radially-extending blades. The endwall includes an endwall treatment recessed into the endwall. The endwall treatment is characterized by a casing treatment volume compressibility factor (CTVCF), and a casing treatment normalized volume (CTNV), and a blade tip Mach number (Mtip).

Abstract: Compact bleed valve assemblies are disclosed. An example turbine engine comprises a rotor blade having an axial chord (C) measured at a tip of the rotor blade, and a variable bleed valve (VBV) including a VBV port defining a bleed flowpath and an exit angle (βexit) for bleed air exiting the VBV port, the VBV port including a forward entrance edge and an aft exit edge and a first length (LA) therebetween, and a VBV door corresponding to the VBV port, the VBV door to generate a bleed cavity having a bleed cavity area (BA) in the VBV port when the VBV is in a closed position, the VBV door to move between an open position and the closed position at a rotation angle (Δθ), the VBV door to extend a distance (LAact) beyond the first length (LA), wherein

Abstract: A rotary component for a gas turbine engine includes a plurality of rotor blades operably coupled to a rotating shaft extending along the central axis and an outer casing arranged exterior to the plurality of rotor blades in a radial direction of the gas turbine engine. The outer casing defines a gap between a blade tip of each of the plurality of rotor blades and the outer casing. The outer casing includes a plurality of features formed into an interior surface thereof. Each of the plurality of features includes one or more design parameters that are perturbed about a mean design parameter for stall performance so as to provide a circumferential variation in wake strengths associated with the plurality of rotor blades, thereby reducing operational noise of the gas turbine engine.
