A rapid blade-to-blade solution for use in turbomachinery design

A rapid technique for solving the blade-to-blade turbomachinery flow problem was developed. Approximate governing flow equations, which include the effects of compressibility, radius change, rotation, and variable stream sheet thickness are solved using a panel method. The development and solution of these equations are described. Sample calculations are presented to illustrate the method's capabilities and accuracy. Previously announced in STAR as N83-13077
