Calculating Turbine-Blade Loads

Rotor/stator interactions analyzed with help of approximations. Analytical procedure assists designers of turbomachinery in calculating dynamic loads on blades and vanes. Procedure involves approximations simplifying calculation of phase angles and amplitudes of pressure fields throughout blade and vane rows at each disturbance frequency.

Calculating Leakage Around Turbopump Inducer Shrouds

New mathematical model for leakage flow around shrouded turbopump inducers yields more realistic analyses from which designers determine best geometry for leakage-flow-reinjection ports. Also, designers use calculated velocity profile at inducer leading edge to determine blade-angle distribution of inducer leading edge.
