A Numerical Simulation of the Inviscid Flow Through a Counterrotating Propeller

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 outlined along with a discussion of the solution procedure and coding strategy. Numerical results obtained from a simulation of the flow field through a modern high-speed turboprop will be shown.
