This article presents the application of a RANS algorithm based on a pressure correction method for incompressible flow simulations of low-speed rotating machines. A numerical scheme is developed by extending a flow analysis in a stationary frame to a rotating frame for turbomachinery applications. The numerical scheme is explained with emphasis on the effect of rotation on the flow fields and turbulence modeling. The results of the numerical calculations for flow through an enclosed turbomachine and an extended turbomachine are compared with the experimental data to judge them on realistic flow patterns. The numerical solutions have shown reasonable agreement with the experimental data which demonstrates the merits and robustness of this numerical scheme.

In this paper, a three-dimensional computational model for the solution of the time-averaged Navier-Stokes equations, based on a pressure correction method and the k-ε turbulence model, is presented and implemented for the viscous flow modelling through a series of centrifugal compressors. Theoretical calculations with the current fully elliptic method are carried out and the results are compared critically with available experimental data and with results from other computational models. A radial and two backswept high-speed subsonic compressors with different geometrical and operating characteristics are analysed at design and off-design conditions. In all cases, a wake flow pattern is evident and strong secondary flows are discerned. The tip clearance effects on the relative flow pattern are found to be important and are appropriately simulated. The predictive capability of the current flow model is judged to be encouraging taking into consideration the limitations of the physical models and the numerical schemes involved in the computations.
