Transonic Flow Around Compressor Rotor Blade Elements. Volume II. Digital Program User's Manual.

Abstract

A computer program to analyze steady-state transonic flow in turbomachinery components has been developed. The time-dependent partial differential system of equations is approximated by the MacCormack finite-difference algorithm. The program is operational for two-dimensional compressor cascades or quasi-three-dimensional rotors including radius and stream surface thickness variations. A hybrid method of characteristics is used to impose the boundary constraints upon the flow field. Flow field periodicity is used at the free surface boundaries. Output consist of a flow field description and mixed-out properties of the flow at the exit. (Author)
