COMPRESSOR, METHOD AND TURBOMACHINE
First Claim
1. A method for operating a compressor of a turbomachine, the method comprising:
- dropping a radially averaged degree of reaction in a front compressor area, with respect to a main flow direction, from a maximum to a minimum;
holding the radially averaged degree of reaction substantially constant across a central compressor area up into a rear compressor area; and
adjusting the radially averaged degree of reaction in the rear compressor area to be closer to the minimum than to the maximum;
a residual swirl of at least 47°
being set in the middle section.

Abstract
Described is a method for operating a compressor of a turbomachine, in which, when considered in the direction of a main flow, an, in particular, radially averaged degree of reaction has dropped in a front compressor area from a maximum to a minimum, is held constant or virtually constant across a central compressor area up into a rear compressor area, an, in particular, radially averaged degree of reaction being adjusted in the rear compressors area which is closer to the minimum than to the maximum, and a residual swirl of at least 47° is present in the middle section, and a compressor and a turbomachine.
