Abstract: The theory pertaining to the annulus flow problem in axial turbomachinery is reviewed and a simplified analysis which is essentially concerned with the effect of streamline curvature is worked ...

Abstract: Presented below is a method of calculating the off-design performance of multistage axial compressor characteristics that differs in concept from previous methods. A set of resulting calculations ...

Abstract: This paper summarizes the development of a computer program to simulate axial compressor performance. The program incorporates a well-established technique for cascade performance prediction and a ...

Abstract: Turbulent boundary layer separation is studied using the turbulence closure model suggested by Mellor and Yamada. An explicit central finite-differencing scheme is used to solve the governing ...

Abstract: The essential ingredient missing in existing prediction methods for the performance of multistage axial compressors is that which would account for the effect of end-wall boundary layers. It is, ...
