THREE-DIMENSIONAL FLOW IN AXIAL FLOW TURBOMACHINES.
Abstract
The objective of this research has been the investigation of the nature of three-dimensional motion associated with the interaction between rotating axial flow blade rows and the working fluid, i. e. air, and the quantitative determination of the effect of three-dimensional motion upon the process of energy conversion. The investigation pertained to both the subsonic and the transonic regime of flow in turbomachines. It has been pursued by the theoretical as well as the experimental approach. Theoretical studies have been concerned with the analysis of compression shocks in regions of flow with an upstream total enthalpy gradient and with analogous patterns encountered in the flow relative to the blades of a rotating blade grid. Computations of the flow field behind threedimensional oblique shocks were carried through parallel to corresponding experimental studies.
