Abstract	A profiling method, in terms of the trigonometric function and considering about the different axial location of the non-axisymmetric end wall warping, is developed firstly. The axial and the circumferential location of the end wall warping are defined by the cosine function and the sine function respectively. To investigate the effects of the non-axisymmetric end wall on the flow property and the steam condensation, the profiling method is applied to the aft-loaded White cascade with the revised nucleation model of the two-phase wet steam flow. The results show that it has very little influence on the performance while the non-axisymmetric end wall warping is closing to the leading edge. If the non-axisymmetric end wall warping locates nearby the trailing edge, the aerodynamic loss increases significantly with a sharp flow separation on the corner of the suction side. While the crest is in the middle of the axial chord, the aerodynamic loss nearby the end wall decreases about 2.0%, implying a well improvement in the aerodynamic performance. Besides, the steam condensation nearby the end wall is restrained significantly while the non-axisymmetric end wall warping is in the middle axial chord or closing the trailing edge. The proper designed non-axisymmetric end wall, which is able to increase the pressure of the zone with the wet steam nucleation, is beneficial to improve the aerodynamic performance and control the steam condensation in the passage of the low pressure steam turbine.
