Abstract

A rotor blade of an axial compressor includes: a blade root; and a blade leaf. The blade leaf has: a flow inlet edge, a flow outlet edge, a pressure side extending between the flow inlet edge and the flow outlet edge and a suction side extending between the flow inlet edge and the flow outlet edge, which together define a blade profile of the blade leaf in Cartesian coordinate values x, y and z such that first and second profile coordinates, or the coordinates x and y when joining via continuous arcs, each describe a smooth profile section on a radial section height along a third profile coordinate, or the coordinate value z, and the joining of the radial profile sections with a smoothing function describe the blade profile of the blade leaf.

Claims (16)

1. A rotor blade ( 10 ) of an axial compressor, comprising:

a blade root ( 11 ), via which the rotor blade is fastenable to a rotor basic body of a rotor of the axial compressor; and

a blade leaf ( 12 ), configured to provide flow deflection, the blade leaf ( 12 ) having:

a flow inlet edge ( 14 ),

a flow outlet edge ( 15 ),

a pressure side ( 16 ) extending between the flow inlet edge ( 14 ) and the flow outlet edge ( 15 ), and

a suction side ( 17 ) extending between the flow inlet edge ( 14 ) and the flow outlet edge ( 15 ),

wherein the flow inlet edge ( 14 ), the flow outlet edge ( 15 ), the pressure side ( 16 ) and the suction side ( 17 ) together define a blade profile of the blade leaf ( 12 ) in Cartesian coordinate values x, y and z such that first and second profile coordinates, or the coordinates x and y when joining via continuous arcs, each describe a smooth profile section on a radial section height along a third profile coordinate, or the coordinate value z, and the joining of the radial profile sections with a smoothing function describe the blade profile of the blade leaf ( 12 ),

wherein in the region of each radial profile section a maximum profile thickness lies in a section between 45% and 52% of the length of a camber line ( 18 ) extending starting from the flow inlet edge ( 14 ) in the direction of the flow outlet edge ( 15 ) and running between the pressure side ( 16 ) and the suction side ( 17 ), and

wherein the blade has the following T max/C ratios:

a root portion of the blade has T max/C ratio of 0.15:

a tip portion of the blade has T max/C ratio of 0.05; and

a mid portion centered at about sixty percent of the blade has T max/C ratio of 0.07.

2. The rotor blade according to claim 1 , wherein starting from radially inner profile sections of the rotor blade in the direction of radially outer profile sections the respective maximum profile thickness is increasingly shifted in the direction of the flow outlet edge ( 15 ).

3. A rotor with at least one rotor blade according to claim 1 .

4. A compressor with at least one rotor according to claim 1 .
