Unexpected flow angle

I would like to plot relative velocity angle versus span normalized at some location upstream of the leading edge.
I noticed when I use mass, length and area averaging the angles at this location change significantly. Unexpectedly, I get different angles at shroud as follows: length averaging: 88 deg area averaging: 159 deg mass averaging: 163 deg Please note the angles at the shroud location in the attached images (span normalized: 1). When I measure the angle using a probe in the tip it shows around 170 degrees. Does anyone know why length averaging produce a wrong result? Also, when I increase the number of samples the angle at the shroud keep increasing. |

I mean which one of the length, area or mass averaging is more appropriate for velocity flow angle?
