A Review of Some Early Design Practice Using Computational Fluid Dynamics and a Current Perspective
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the early development of gas turbines, many empirical design rules were used; for example in obtaining fluid deflection using the deviation from blading angles, in the assumption of zero radial velocities (so-called radial equilibrium) and in expressions for clearance loss (the Lakshminarayana formulas). The validity of some of these rules, and the basic fluid mechanics behind them, is examined by use of modern ideas and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes. A current perspective of CFD in design is given, together with a view on future developments. @DOI: 10.1115/1.1650379#

متن کاملInvestigation of stepped planning hull hydrodynamics using computational fluid dynamics and response surface method
The use of step at the bottom of the hull is one of the effective factors in reducing the resistance and increasing the stability of the Planning hull. The presence of step at the bottom of this type of hulls creates a separation in the flow, which reduces the wet surface on the hull, thus reducing the drag on the body, as well as reducing the dynamic trim. In this study, a design space was cre...
