Internal flow fields in low speed axial compressor and transonic compressor (NASA Rotor 37) rotors have been investigated by Navier-Stokes flow simulations. The behavior of vortices inside rotor passages was revealed by visualization techniques for identifying a vortex and an LIC (Line Integral Convolution). The simulations about the low-speed compressor rotor show the unsteady vortex behavior caused by the spiral-type breakdown of the tip leakage vortex. As the flow rate is decreased from the near-stall conditions, the movement of the tip leakage vortex due to the vortex breakdown becomes so larger that the leakage vortex interacts with the suction surface as well as the pressure one. The interaction gives rise to the three dimensional separation of the suction surface boundary layer. Furthermore, it is found that the breakdown of the tip leakage vortex in the transonic compressor rotor is caused by the interaction between the vortex and the shock wave at a near-stall condition. The expansion of the leakage vortex due to its breakdown dominates the blockage near the casing.
