Application of finite element code Q3DFL0-81 to turbomachinery flow fields

Abstract

Through-flow and blade-to-blade calculations were made in association with a number of experimental research activities at the Turbopropulsion Laboratory, Naval Postgraduate School. The Q3DFL0-81 code was operated on an IBM 370-3033 mainframe computer. The flow through a single stage axial research compressor was computed and compared with both probe survey and stage performance map measurments. Swirling flow produced by a vaned out-flow generator for a radial diffuser test facility was calculated for both large low-speed and small-scale high-speed versions of the device. Flow through a two-dimensional compressor cascade of "controlled-dif fusion" blade shapes was calculated and the results compared with experimental data, and with predictions obtained using the NASA code QSONIC.Prepared for: Naval Air Systems Command, Washington DChttp://archive.org/details/applicationoffin00schuN0001984WR 41099, N0001984WR 41134N
