Rapid Prototyping Design Optimization Using Flow Sculpting
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Computational fluid dynamics has become a mature art form and its use in turbomachinery design has become commonplace. Simple blade-blade simulations run at near interactive rates but anything ...
A Numerical Analysis of the Three-Dimensional Viscous Flow in a Transonic Compressor Rotor and Comparison With Experiment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The numerical analysis of highly loaded transonic compressors continues to be of considerable interest. Although much progress has been made with inviscid analyses, viscous effects can be very ...
The Simulation of Three-Dimensional Viscous Flow in Turbomachinery Geometries Using a Solution-Adaptive Unstructured Mesh Methodology
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a numerical method for the simulation of flow in turbomachinery blade rows using a solution-adaptive mesh methodology. The fully three-dimensional, compressible, Reynolds-averaged ...
Toward Improved Throughflow Capability: The Use of Three-Dimensional Viscous Flow Solvers in a Multistage Environment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A methodology is presented for simulating turbomachinery blade rows in a multistage environment by deploying a standard three-dimensional Navier–Stokes solver simultaneously on a number of blade ...
The Extension of a Solution-Adaptive Three-Dimensional Navier–Stokes Solver Toward Geometries of Arbitrary Complexity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes recent developments to a three-dimensional, unstructured mesh, solution-adaptive Navier–Stokes solver. By adopting a simple, pragmatic but systematic approach to mesh generation, ...
The Solution-Adaptive Numerical Simulation of the Three-Dimensional Viscous Flow in the Serpentine Coolant Passage of a Radial Inflow Turbine Blade
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes the application of a solution-adaptive, three-dimensional Navier–Stokes solver to the problem of the flow in turbine internal coolant passages. First, the variation of Nusselt ...
A Simulation of the Unsteady Interaction of a Centrifugal Impeller With Its Vaned Diffuser: Flow Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to help advance our understanding of the complex, three-dimensional, unsteady flow associated with the interaction of a splittered centrifugal impeller and its vaned ...
Computation of Off-Design Flows in a Transonic Compressor Rotor
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recent years have seen increasing efforts to develop efficient solvers for the compressible Navier–Stokes equations. For maximum benefit to be derived from this effort, these Navier–Stokes solvers ...
On the Interpretation of Measured Profile Losses in Unsteady Wake–Turbine Blade Interaction Studies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The interaction of wakes shed by a moving blade row with a downstream blade row causes unsteady flow. The meaning of the free-stream stagnation pressure and stagnation enthalpy in these ...
The Extension and Application of Three-Dimensional Time-Marching Analyses to Incompressible Turbomachinery Flows
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Conventional time-marching flow solvers perform poorly when integrating compressible flow equations at low Mach number levels. This is shown to be due to unfavorable interaction between long-wavelength ...
