A Computer Program for Axial Compressor Design. Volume I. Theory Descriptions, and Users Instructions.
Abstract
A computer program for the design of axial compressors is presented. It comprises of three principal sections; two alternative means of determining blade geometry, and an aerodynamic computation for the flow through the compressor. One method of determining blade geometry revolves around the use of various analytic meanlines for the blade sections, and leads to the aerodynamic analysis of the flow through specified blading. The other method consists of creating arbitrary blade sections to follow the flow directions previously determined in an aerodynamic design calculation. The aerodynamic design section incorporates a loss calculation routine that may be used to estimate the design point performance of the compressor. The report describes the computer program, and gives all information necessary to use it. (Modified author abstract)
