Turbulence model is still a weakness for RANS method on predicting corner separation flow accurately. In the present study, numerical study of corner separation in a linear highly loaded prescribed velocity distribution （PVD） compressor cascade has been investigated using seven frequently used turbulence models. The seven turbulence models include Spalart Allmaras model, standard k-e model, realizable k-e model, standard k-to model, shear stress transport k co model, v2-fmodel and Reynolds stress model. The results of these turbulence models have been compared and analyzed in detail with available experimental data. It is found the standard k-1： model, realizable k-e model, v2-f model and Reynolds stress model can provide reasonable results for predicting three dimensional corner separation in the compressor cascade. The Spalart-Allmaras model, standard k-to model and shear stress transport k-w model overesti- mate corner separation region at incidence of 0°. The turbulence characteristics are discussed and turbulence anisotropy is observed to be stronger in the corner separating region.展开更多
