Abstract: A three-dimensional design method for the design of the blade geometry of centrifugal compressor impellers is presented. In this method the blade shape is computed for a specified circulation ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional inverse design method in which the blade (or vane) geometry is designed for specified distributions of circulation and blade thickness is applied to the design of centrifugal ...

Abstract: A method is presented for the computation of three-dimensional boundary layers on turbomachinery blades. The method is based on a finite difference approach on a body-fitted curvilinear coordinate ...

Abstract: In this paper, for the first time, a set of guidelines is presented for the systematic design of mixed flow and centrifugal compressors and pumps with suppressed secondary flows and a uniform ...

Abstract: In Part 1 of this paper, a mixed-flow pump impeller was designed by a fully three-dimensional inverse design method, aimed at suppressing the secondary flows on the blade suction surface. In ...

Abstract: This paper describes the design of the blade geometry of a medium specific speed mixed flow pump impeller by using a three-dimensional inverse design method in which the blade circulation (or ...

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental investigation of two centrifugal compressor stage configurations. The baseline configuration has been designed using conventional design engineering tools. The ...

Abstract: In this paper the three-dimensional inverse design code TURBOdesign-1 is applied to the design of the blade geometry of a centrifugal compressor impeller with splitter blades. In the design of ...
