Computational Models for Turbomachinery Flows
Abstract
The analytical modeling of flow through turbomachines is developed from fundamental principles. In Part 1, the levels of approximation involved in Wu's stream-surface method, and in the use of averaging in axi-symmetric quasi-3D models are defined and discussed in detail. In Part 2, computational methods based on both stream surface and passage-averaged quasi-3D models are developed. Streamline curvature and stream function approaches to the solution of the axisymmetric through-flow equations are described and finite difference and finite element solutions methods are detailed.
