Abstract Details

2011, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering and Applied Science: Mechanical Engineering.
A three dimensional streamline based technique is developed for the design and analysis of the components of turbo machines. The Euler equations for inviscid flow formulated along the streamlines are reduced to two sets of first and second order ordinary differential equations .These equations can be solved by the direct matrix inversion technique or iterative methods on truncated domains. The boundary conditions are imposed at the blade passage exit by specifying the streamline locations which leads to the automatic satisfaction of the Kutta condition and also predicts the exit flow angles. These features lead to significant reduction in the computation time. In addition to this, this approach also eliminates the use of two and three dimensional grids. This technique is equally applicable for the direct and inverse design problems. Numerical results are obtained for flow in two dimensional cascades and are validated with numerical solutions using the fluent code.
