A steady-state aerodynamics for two tip gaps configurations in the KTH transonic linear cascade is presented. The experimental campaign is performed at two different tip clearances. The operational point is representative of a virtual compressor at near stall at part speed, producing a leading-edge separation bubble. Numerical results are compared to experimental data as a source of potential validation.
