Problems solved by technology

When the inlet Reynolds number of the diffuser cascade decreases, the usual two-dimensional airfoil will show performance changes such as increased loss and decreased stall margin, which will affect the aerodynamic performance of the compressor at low speed

But at present, most of the two-dimensional airfoil optimization methods only focus on the aerodynamic performance of the airfoil under the design condition (that is, the high Reynolds number condition), while ignoring the performance requirements of the two-dimensional airfoil under the low Reynolds number.
