AN EULER SOLVER FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL TURBOMACHINERY FLOWS

摘要

A time-marching finite volume numerical procedure is presented for three-dimensional Euler analysis of turbomachinery flows. The proposed scheme is applied to the conservative form of the Euler equations written in general curvilinear co-ordinates. A simple but computationally efficient grid is constructed. Numerical solution results for three 3D turbine cascade flows have been presented and compared with available measurements as well as with another state-of-the-art 3D Euler analysis numerical solution in order to demonstrate the accuracy and computational efficiency of the analysis method. Also, the predicted results are compared with a 3D potential flow solver and comparison is made With the analytical solution. The proposed method is an accurate and reliable technique for solving the compressible flow equations in turbomachinery geometries.
