Abstract

A procedure for the calculation of flow through axisymmetric ducts as are typically found in turbomachines, is presented. The procedure is based on a streamline curvature method with the governing equations formulated along quasi-orthogonals in the flow field. This formulation allows the procedure to be used for segments of a duct wherein the flow direction is predominantly radial. It is assumed that the flow on specific stream surfaces is isentropic, but normal entropy gradients may exist because of processes which took place upstream of the duct.
