Abstract: Osborne Reynolds’ developments of the concepts of Reynolds averaging, turbulence stresses, and equations for mean kinetic energy and turbulence energy are viewed in the light of 100 years of ...

Abstract: The overall performance of two geometrically similar linear turbine cascades is calculated using an elliptic flow program. The increase in the mass-averaged total pressure loss is calculated ...

Abstract: A partially-parabolic calculation procedure is used to calculate flow in a centrifugal impeller. This general-geometry, cascade-flow method is an extension of a duct-flow calculation procedure. The ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation was performed to measure Reynolds stresses in the turbulent flow downstream of a large-scale linear turbine cascade. A rotatable X-wire hot-wire probe that allows ...

Abstract: The effects of Reynolds number on flow through a tip gap are investigated by performing laminar flow calculations for an idealized two-dimensional tip gap geometry. The results of the calculations ...

Abstract: Moore et al. measured the six Reynolds stresses in a tip leakage vortex in a linear turbine cascade. Stress tensor analysis, as used in classical mechanics, has been applied to the measured ...

Abstract: Calculations of three-dimensional viscous flow in the impeller of a centrifugal compressor are used as the basis of a study of the thermodynamics of the compression process. Flow in a high ...
