Detailed observations, which mainly focus on the tip leakage flow behavior, obstruction and vortical structures in the tip region, determine the reason for the compressor stall.

The optimal circumferential groove configuration produces an increase of 1% in total pressure ratio at the near-stall point and a gain of 3.7% in stall margin, without any penalty in efficiency.
