Abstract: The aerodynamic analysis of wings and their vortex wakes is discussed from a perspective of its relation to the 1938 work of Kármán and Sears. The key concepts from this early paper on ...

Abstract: The passage of distorted flow through an annular axial compressor rotor or stator is analyzed in the actuator disk limit. In such a description the flow is steady in absolute coordinates. The ...

Abstract: As a step in the development of an analytical method for designing highly loaded, three-dimensional blade profiles for axial compressors and turbines, a simple two-dimensional method was first ...

Abstract: A method of designing highly loaded blades to give a specified distribution of swirl is presented. The method is based on a newly developed, three-dimensional analysis. In the present application, ...
