A new nonaxisymmetrical end wall profiling method based on two control curves was presented and thenonaxisymmetric end wall profiling of a low aspect ratio cascade was designed by the method. The detailed flow fields of the initial axisymmetrical end wall and the nonaxisymmetrical end wall profiling cascade were numerically investigated using the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS)and the SST turbulent model with transition effects. The results show that the nonaxisymmetric end wall reduces the low-energy fluids entering the passage vortex and thus inhibits the development of the passage vortex
resulting in the decrease in the secondary loss. The nonaxisymmetric end wall influences the whole flow field due to the low aspect ratio. The outlet flow angle increases along the whole blade span. In the midspan
the decrease in the blade loading results in the reduction of the profile loss. In addition
the efficiency of end wall profiling cascade increases by 0.22%
compared with that of the initial cascade. The present nonaxisymmetrical end wall profiling method is practicable and feasible.
