Experimental and Theoretical Investigations of Flow Fields and Heat Transfer in Modern Gas Turbines.

Abstract

Computational efforts have concentrated on the areas of minicomputer-array processor development and two-dimensional computer code algorithm development. The particular areas covered are: 1) a detailed review of the minicomputer-array processor performance and prospects, 2) a summary of the status and importance of boundary treatments for implicit numerical algorithms, 3) a summary of the status of grid generation efforts for turbine type geometries and 4) a review of work done to analyze the application of MacCormack's new implicit time marching scheme to trubomachinery geometries. In addition a computational development plan for the next three years is presented, and the present status of test examples for the two-dimensional analysis code is reviewed.
