    摘要: A compressor for an aircraft engine, has: a gaspath extending around a central axis between a radially-inner wall and a radially-outer wall; a rotor having blades circumferentially distributed around the central axis, the blades having airfoils extending from roots to tips along a span and extending from leading edges to trailing edges along a chord, the airfoils extending across the gaspath; grooves defined in an inner face of the radially-outer wall, circumferentially distributed around the central axis, and having groove lengths extending in a first direction having a circumferential component relative to the central axis, the grooves located between the leading edges and the trailing edges of the airfoils; and slots defined in the inner face of the radially-outer wall, circumferentially distributed around the central axis, and having slot lengths extending in a second direction having an axial component relative to the central axis, the slots projecting from the grooves.

    摘要: A fan includes an annular frame, a rail assembly, a driving member and blades. The blades are connected to the driving member. The driving member is electromagnetically movable along the magnetic levitation assembly that extends along an edge of the annular frame. The driving member does not contact the annular frame or the magnetic levitation assembly so that when the fan is used, the magnetic levitation assembly is energized to generate an electromagnetic force between the magnetic levitation assembly and the driving member to move the driving member along the edge of the annular frame to drive the blades to rotate. Therefore, the blades can be rotated without having to use any motor behind the annular frame, thereby reducing the volume of the fan.

    摘要: Briefly, embodiments of a fan for moving a volume of compressible fluid from an upstream side to a downstream side may comprise a vortex circulation channel formed within a shroud substantially surrounding the blades of the fan. As a portion of one or more blades of the fan moves within the vortex circulation channel, a vortex that is formed and confined within the channel may reduce formation of a vortex within the fan working area, thereby bringing about an increase in a volume of the compressible fluid capable of being moved by the fan. In an embodiment, a fin or other protrusion disposed on a tip portion of a blade may additionally increase flow of a compressible fluid through a fan. In an embodiment, use of a wraparound leading edge of a fan shroud may bring about further increases in volume of compressible fluid flow.
