Abstract
A computer program has been developed to obtain subsonic or shock-free transonic, nonviscous flow analysis on the hub-shroud midchannel flow surface of a turbomachine. The analysis may be for any annular passage, with or without blades. The blades may be fixed or rotating and may be twisted and leaned. The flow may be axial, radial, or mixed.
Blade surface velocities over the entire blade are approximated, based on the rate of change of angular momentum. This gives a three-dimensional flow picture based on a two-dimensional analysis.
This paper discusses the method used for the program and shows examples of the type of passages and blade rows which can be analyzed. Also, some numerical examples are given to show how the program can be used for practical assistance in design of blading, annular passages, and annular diffusers.
