Axial turbomachine stator with ailerons at the blade roots
First Claim
1. Axial stator of an axial turbo compressor (2), comprising:
- an annular row of main stator blades extending radially, each of the blades having a pressure surface and a suction surface; and
a series of auxiliary stator blades located between the main blades;
wherein each of the auxiliary blades is associated with one of the main blades by extending along and downstream of the pressure face of the associated main blade, at a distance from said blade, in a circumferential direction, which is less than 30% of the distance between two adjacent main blades;
wherein the radial height of the auxiliary blades relative to the radial height of the main blades ranges between 10% and 50%.

Abstract
The present application relates to the compressor stator of an axial turbomachine. The stator comprises an annular row of main stator blades and auxiliary blades each of which are associated with a main blade. The auxiliary blades are located at the trailing edges of the main blades and are in the vicinity of the pressure faces of the main blades. The auxiliary blades are aligned to generate a low-pressure area at the trailing edges of the main blades. Thus, a flow bypassing a main blade by its suction face is sucked in by the low-pressure area when it approaches the trailing edge of the main blade. Stalling is thus avoided and the efficiency of the machine is improved.
