Operating range of turbomachinery for which stability calculated extended. TIPS (Two In-Passage Shocks) calculates unsteady lifts and moments on compressor blade if relative mach number supersonic and if two shock waves in blade passage. Written in FORTRAN IV and run on IBM 3033 with 370TSS operating system.
The momentum integral equations are derived for the boundary layer on an arbitrary curved surface, using a streamline coordinate system. Computations of the turbulent boundary layer on a slightly yawed cone are made for a Prandtl number of 0.729, wall to free-stream temperature ratios of 1/2, 1, and 2, and Mach numbers from 1 to 4. Deflection of the fluid in the boundary layer from outer stream direction, local friction coefficient, displacement surface, lift coefficient, and pitching-moment coefficient are presented.
