Three-dimensional flow field due to a radial vortex and source line spanning an annulus
Abstract
A theoretical investigation of the three dimensional potential flow field due to a radial vortex and source line spanning an annulus is carried out. The three dimensional effects due to finite radius hub and annulus walls are found to be appreciable, especially for a low hub/tip ratio configuration. The discrepancy between the two and three dimensional solutions are found to be large near the hub, moderate at the tip, and negligibly small at the mid radius.
