Blade end-bend is a new technique to improve the performance of compressors. A comprehensive study of two multistage compressors has been completed with numerical calculation

theoretical analysis and experimental investigation.It is shown that the end-bend causes redistribution of the whole flowfield

and the changes of characteristics in main flow region may be a vital factor to improve the engine performance. A comparative study of several end-bend patterns shows that the character of redistribution differs for each from other. It is important to choose the end-bend pattern suitable for the specific compressor.
