An analysis of flow models: From Navier-Stokes to potential flow equations
Abstract
A method to calculate the three dimensional, rotational flow of an inviscid, compressible fluid in turbomachines is presented. The approach is based on a finite element formulation and results are presented for the flow in a rectangular bend, a turbine stator and a centrifugal impeller.
