NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF 3D VISCOUS TURBOMACHINERY FLOW WITH HIGH-RESOLUTION ENO SCHEME AND MODERN TURBULENCE MODEL

Abstract

This paper presents the basic principles of construction of numerical models for 3D viscous turbulent flows through multi stage turbomachines. The great attention is given to such properties of the methods as accuracy, linear and non-linear stability, robustness and computational efficiency. It is shown that these properties can be guaranteed if the implicit Godunov’s type ENO scheme is used. A 3D code FLOWER has been developed within this concept. Using the code the numerical results are obtained for flows through high loaded compressor cascades, a turbine stage, a low-pressure multi stage turbine and a centrifugal compressor stage. The results of optimisation of a low-pressure turbine last stage are presented.
