Separation control in compressor cascade is very significant for modern high efficiency compressor. This paper introduces a separation control approach using self-supplied jet in a highly loaded cascade. A novel arc slot is created into the cascade at the full span range, which connects the flow fields between the pressure and suction side. Because of the pressure difference, the slot enables to induce the jet flow into the suction side separation. Experiments are conducted to evaluate the separation control effects and preliminarily study the mechanism. The results show that the slot cascade acquires more ordered outflow by reducing the suction side separation and suppressing the complex vortices. Due to the great reduction of the separation, the total loss significantly decreases by 21.9% and the flow turning angle increases by 2.1° in average. According to the improvements of the cascade performance, the stable operating margin of the highly loaded cascade is greatly improved at least 3° in terms of the incidence angle.
