Abstract: Experimental and computational techniques are used to investigate tip clearance flows in a transonic axial compressor rotor at design and part-speed conditions. Laser anemometer data acquired in ...

Abstract: A mathematical model is proposed for closing or mathematically completing the system of equations which describes the time-averaged flow field through the blade passages of multistage turbomachinery. ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a numerical simulation of the time-averaged inviscid flow field through the blade rows of a multiblade row turboprop configuration. The governing equations are ...

Abstract: A numerical experiment has been carried out to define the near-stall casing endwall flow field of a high-speed fan rotor. The experiment used a simulation code incorporating a simple clearance ...

Abstract: The impact of wake-induced unsteady flows on blade row performance and the wake rectification process is examined by means of numerical simulation. The passage of a stator wake through a ...

Abstract: A Segmented Domain Decomposition Multigrid (SDDMG) procedure was developed for viscous flow problems as they apply to turbomachinery flows. The procedure divides the computational domain into a ...

Abstract: This work outlines a procedure for simulating the flow field within multistage turbomachinery, which includes the effects of unsteadiness, compressibility, and viscosity. The associated modeling ...
