Abstract: Time-marching solutions of the Euler equations are now very widely used for calculation of flow through turbomachinery blade rows. All methods suffer from the disadvantages of shock smearing, ...

Abstract: The development of a streamline curvature throughflow program to predict the flow through the low pressure stages of large steam turbines is described. The program can also be used for gas ...

Abstract: The origins and effects of loss in turbomachines are discussed with the emphasis on trying to understand the physical origins of loss rather than on reviewing the available prediction methods. ...

Abstract: The extension of a well-established three-dimensional flow calculation method to calculate the flow through multiple turbomachinery blade rows is described in this paper. To avoid calculating the ...

Abstract: Turbomachinery design systems are usually the jealously guarded property of large companies, and the author is not aware of any for which the source code is freely available. This paper is aimed providing a freely available ...

Abstract: The classical theoretical model of density front propagation is based on a momentum equation for the whole fluid depth and an energy balance for one of the two layers. However, it is not always obvious which layer satisfies ...

Abstract: Optimization of blade stacking in lowpressure (LP) steam turbine development constitutes one of the most delicate and timeconsuming parts of the design process. This is the second part of two papers focusing on stacking ...

Abstract: Optimization of blade stacking in the last stage of lowpressure (LP) steam turbines constitutes one of the most delicate and timeconsuming parts of the design process. This is the first of two papers focusing on the stacking ...
