The results show that the shallow grooves with adequate dimensions can suppress these instabilities. Theoretical consideration has revealed that a remarkable effects of shallow grooves are caused by two mechanisms;one is a significant decrease in the tangential velocity due to mixing between the main flow and the groove flow, and the other is an increase in meridional velocity of the main flow due to the reverse flow in the grooves.}, pages = {1--7}, title = {A New Passive Device to Suppress Several Instabilities in Turbomachines by Use of J-Grooves}, year = {1998} }
