Numerical Calculation of Flows in Turbomachinery with Three-dimensional Viscous Codes

Afast and accurate three dimensional (3 D) viscous code for calculating flows in turbomachinery has been established.In this code, H meshes are adopted to build the discrete equations, and the conservation equationsare solved on grid nodes atthe corners of cuboid elements.In orderto accelerate convergence,local time stepping,residualsmoothing and multigrid method are also applied,andthe viscous effects are approximatedby a very simple mixing length model.For verification ofthe accuracy and applicability ofthe method,transonicflowsthrough compressor cascades of NASArotor 37 and flows through a turbine stator of NASAhave been calculated.The good agreementbetween experimentalresults and design data has demonstratedthereliability and applicability ofthe present method,which can be usedforsimulatingthe complex 3 Dviscousflow phenomenonin turbomachinery.
