Computer Programs for Single-Stage Axial Compressor Test Data Analysis. Volume I. Theory, Descriptions, and User's Instructions.
Abstract
A pair of special-purpose computer programs have been written for the analysis of axial compressor aerodynamic test data. The axisymmetric flow of a thermal-perfect compressible fluid is assumed, and the streamline curvature method of solution is employed. By optionally incorporating details of the blade geometry in the input data, a detailed account of the flow through the blading may be obtained. A unique feature of the analysis is the option to determine annulus blockage due to boundary layers and blade wakes by utilizing experimental wall static pressure readings in addition to the usual traverses of total pressures and temperature. This first volume of two that describe the programs fully details the theory of the method, describes the computer programs, and gives all information necessary to use them. (Author)
