Airfoil active flow control has been attempted in the past in order to increase the permissible loading of boundary layer s in gas turbine components. The present paper presents a stator with active flow control for a high speed compressor using a Coanda surface near the trailing edge in order to inhibit boundary l ayer separation. The design intent is to reduce the number of vane s while ‐ in order to ensure a good matching with the downstream rotor ‐ the flow turning angle is kept constant. In a first step, numerical simulations of a linear compressor cascade with c irculation control are conducted. The Coanda surface is locat ed behind an injection slot on the airfoil suction side. Small b rates lead to a gain in efficiency associated with a rise in sta tic pressure. In a second step, this result is transferred to a 4- stage high speed research compressor, where the circulation cont rol is applied in the first stator. The design method and the first results are based on steady numerical calculations. The analy sis of these results shows performance benefits of the concept. F or both, the cascade and the research compressor, the pressure gain and efficiency are shown as a function of blowing rate and jet power ratio. The comparison is performed based on a dimensionless efficiency which takes into account the change of po wer loss.
