A General Through-Flow Theory of Fluid Flow With Subsonic or Supersonic Velocity in Turbomachines of Arbitrary Hub and Casing Shapes

Abstract

Note presenting a general steady through-flow theory of nonviscous fluid in turbomachines of arbitrary hub- and casing-wall shapes with subsonic or supersonic velocity. The theory is applicable to both direct and inverse problems and is derived primarily for use in turbomachines with thin blades of high solidity with a simple approximate correction factor for blade-thickness effect.
