چکیده
Education and Work online at: New and unprecedented standards for mathematical and computation literacy have emerged for the nation’s workforce. Generated by the science-intensive and digitally driven global economy, today’s careers in health science, engineering, value added manufacturing, and nano-fabrication require advanced mathematics. The importance of mathematical and computational competency to the nation’s future can be found in the National Academy of Engineering’s recently identified 14 grand challenges—societal challenges which await innovative engineering solutions. Restoring and improving the nation’s urban infrastructure is one of the Grand Challenges and the National Academy2 describes it in vivid terms: Engineering the Math Performance Gap

Numerical study of the effect of the tip gap size and using a single circumferential groove on the performance of a multistage compressor
The effect of the tip gap size on the performance of a multistage axial compressor was studied by means of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). It was found that the performance of the compressor was very sensitive to the size of the tip gap. By increasing the gap size, the stall margin value, the total pressure ratio and the compressor efficiency reduced considerably. The flow field at the tip ...
