Development of a Navier-Stokes Rotor/Stator Analysis.

Abstract

An important problem in axial flow turbomachinery is that of flow through a turbine or compressor stage in which interaction occurs between the rotor and the stator. Although several experimental efforts have focused upon this problem, relatively little analysis has been applied to this problem. The present effort applies a Navier-Stokes analysis to the rotor/stator problem. The effort consists of several tasks. These include assessment of an existing Navier-Stokes analysis for time-dependent flows, exploration of appropriate boundary conditions, development of an appropriate coordinate system and a demonstration calculation. The present annual report discusses the time-dependent assessment, exploration of boundary conditions and the coordinate system problem.
