Abstract
A shock wave suppression device is configured to suppress a shock wave generated on a blade surface of a blade, the shock wave suppression device including a bump cover provided to follow the blade surface and deformable to protrude outward from the blade surface, and a displacing unit configured to displace the bump cover between a steady state to follow the blade surface and a deformed state to protrude outward from the blade surface. The bump cover has a curved shape in the deformed state configured to be a continuous surface from an upstream side to a downstream side in a flow direction of a fluid on the blade surface.

A shock wave suppression device for suppressing a shock wave generated on a blade surface of a blade, the shock wave suppression device comprising:
- a bump cover provided to follow the blade surface and being deformable to protrude outward from the blade surface;
- and
- a displacing unit configured to displace the bump cover between a steady state to follow the blade surface and a deformed state to protrude outward from the blade surface,
- wherein:
- a leading edge side of the bump cover is fixed to the blade surface;
- and
- a trailing edge side of the bump cover is connected to the blade surface via a sliding mechanism unit.
