Abstract: Centrifugal compressors are mainly designed with the best efficiency point in mind and the focus oriented toward the impeller. The vaned diffuser geometry is usually developed using simple shapes, such as prismatic blades ...

Abstract: This paper describes the development and validation steps of a characteristicsbased explicit along with a novel fully implicit mixing plane implementation for turbomachinery applications. The framework is an unstructured ...

Abstract: The flow field in a linear cascade of highly loaded turbine nozzle guide vanes (NGVs) has been numerically investigated at low and high-subsonic regime, i.e., exit isentropic Mach number of M2is = 0.2 and 0.6, respectively. ...

Abstract: In the industrial simulation of flow phenomena, turbulence modeling is of prime importance. Due to their low computational cost, Reynolds-averaged methods (RANS) are predominantly used for this purpose. However, eddy ...
