A Tollmien-Shlichtling （TS） effect is suspected, and several compressible LES are made on aerodynamic profiles to detect and investigate this phenomenon. Vortex shedding is observed at the trailing edge, triggering some density fluctuations when a thin boundary layer exists on the profile upper side. Acoustic waves with length equivalent to the chord are observed. A profile modification is proposed with a camber brought closer to the leading edge. This shape tested on a prototyped fan confirms the weakening of the TS effect.展开更多
