NUMERICAL PREDICTION OF PERIODIC VORTEX SHEDDING IN SUBSONIC AND TRANSONIC TURBINE CASCADE FLOWS

摘要

Periodic vortex shedding at the trailing edge of a turbine cascade has been investigated numerically for a subsonic and a transonic cascade flow. The numerical investigation was carried out by a finite volume multiblock code, solving the 2D compressible Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations on a set of non-overlapping grid blocks that are connected in a conservative way. Comparisons are made with experimental results previously obtained by Sieverding and Heinemann.
