Flow calculation in centrifugal compressors using a quasi-three-dimensional model.

When designing centrifugal compressors and turbomachines for various purposes one must carry out the calculation of flow through their fixed and movable elements. One approach to solving this problem is to use the well-proven classical quasi-three-dimensional model. Previously, the authors developed a method for accounting for the compressibility of a gas stream in the flow part of a turbomachine. This article demonstrates the work of a software package compiled on this basis that performs calculations taking into account the mutual influence of the solutions of two two-dimensional problems in the case of a subsonic gas flow.
