Abstract: Despite the extensive application of three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equation (RANS) in axial compressor numerical simulations, body-force model (BFM) also plays its own role profiting from its low ...

Abstract: Owing to the manufacturing and assembly error or the fatigue of long-time operation, nonaxisymmetric tip clearance is actually a common phenomenon in compressors. It is also well accepted that tip leakage flow, associated ...
