A Primitive Variable Mathematical Model for Predicting the Flows in Turbojet Test Cells.

Abstract

An adaptation of a primitive variable, finite-difference computer program was made in order to predict the non-reacting flow fields in turbojet test cells. The study compares the predictions of the primitive variable computer model with an earlier stream function-vorticity computer model and empirical data. It was found that the model reasonably predicted the flow fields and allowed simulation of test cell flows up to full engine throttle conditions. (Author)
