Abstract: Correlations are used by the engineer for design purposes and/or when a theoretical calculation is missing. The purpose of this paper is to show that, applying the momentum integral equation, ...

Abstract: An optimization method, based on Le Foll’s boundary layer theory and on Goldstein’s conformal mapping method is described. The parameters of optimization are circulation per blade and absolute ...

Abstract: Experiments have been performed with two cascades of turbomachines. The first cascade is composed of highly loaded turbine blades, and has been used in the low subsonic Mach number range. The ...

Abstract: A method is presented for calculating the wall shear layers of a compressor cascade. The integrated across the blade spacing Navier-Stokes equations are used. Closure is obtained using an ...

Abstract: The calculation of the blade shape, when the desired velocity distribution is imposed, has been the object of numerous investigations in the past. The object of this paper is to present a ...

Abstract: Measurements have been performed at low speed in the confluent region of a two dimensional wake and turbulent boundary layer. A tandem symmetrical arrangement was used, placed in a variable ...

Abstract: A two-equation energy integral boundary layer method is presented for the calculation of separation and of slightly separated boundary layers. The method is a direct one and is capable of ...

Abstract: A method for establishing signatures of faults in the rotating blades of a gas turbine compressor is presented. The method employs a panel technique for the calculation of the flow field ...

Abstract: The results from an experimental investigation of the compressor casing vibration of an industrial gas turbine are presented. It is demonstrated that statistical properties of acceleration signals ...
