Current Problems in Turbomachinery Fluid Dynamics.

Abstract

A multi-investigator program on problems of current interest in turbomachinery fluid dynamics is being conducted at the MIT Gas Turbine Laboratory. Within the scope of this effort, four different tasks, encompassing both design and off design programs, have been identified. These are: (1) Investigation of fan and compressor design point fluid dynamics (including formation of design procedures using current 3-D transonic codes and development of advanced measurement techniques for use in transonic fans); (2) Studies of basic mechanisms of compressor stability enhancement using compressor cassing/hub treatment; (3) Fluid mechanisms of inlet vortex flow distortions in the gas turbine engines; (4) Investigations of 3-D analytical and numerical computations of flows in highly loaded turbo-machinery blading.
