Cover Story: Accurate design and model validation tools are developed for shrouded rotors. An experimental test rig was designed to measure the rotor thrust and total thrust separately, as well as the rotor torque. A key aspect was to quantify the impact of a test rig on experimental results using CFD for shrouded rotor configuration. The analytical model employs a hybrid approach combining blade element momentum theory (BEMT) and the sphere-cap model which are used in conjunction with the shrouded rotor inflow ratio, as well as post-stall and tip gap clearance models. The results demonstrate that the analytical model predicts shrouded rotor performance accurately. View this paper
