In this paper it is shown how the analysis of Came and Marsh (1) can be extended to provide estimates of secondary streamwise vorticity at the exit of a blade-row when the primary flow includes streamwise losses and takes place on rotating axisymmetric streamsurfaces. The results are shown to be consistent with those of Smith (2) under suitable limiting conditions.
