3D mean-stream-line method
Abstract
The mean-stream-line method proposed by Wu and Brown (1952) for two-dimensional cascade is developed and extended to solve the three-dimensional inverse problem of turbomachine flow. The equations suitable to the three-dimensional case are derived, and the well-posed design conditions are discussed within the scope of the annular wall constraint of turbomachines. This three-dimensional mean-stream-line method is much more simple and faster than all other methods already available. The CPU time of this method is about 10 seconds on an IBM 4341.
