A theory is developed to describe the inviscid core in two-dimensional unstalled diffusers with suction (extraction) on the diverging walls. Experimental wall static pressure distributions and streamline patterns agree well with those predicted theoretically. Under appropriate extraction conditions, a stagnation region is located downstream of the diverging wall extraction station. Experimental verification of the streamline patterns and of the location of this stagnation region was achieved via hydrogen bubble visualization. In addition, the possible stall conditions, which result if improper extraction is employed, are described qualitatively.

Two Dimensional Flow

The flow inside rectangular and other cavities in a wall has been investigated at low subsonic velocities using oil flow and surface static-pressure distributions. Evidence has been found of regular three-dimensional flows in cavities with large span-to-chord ratios which would normally be considered to have two-dimensional flow near their centre-lines. The dependence of the steadiness of the flow upon the cavity's span as well as its chord and depth has also been observed.

Pressure Distributions

A variable-camber aerofoil with integral pressure tappings has been built to investigate the nature of the flows around two-dimensional, highly cambered, sail-like aerofoil sections with circular masts. Data have been obtained in the form of static pressure distributions over representative ranges of Reynolds number, camber ratio, incidence angle, mast diameter/chord ratio and mast angle. Two sail shapes—based on the NACA a = 0.8 and NACA 63 mean-line camber distributions—were involved in the test program. All flow regimes present have been identified and related to the salient model and flow parameters.

Theoretical Results

The experimental results of the relative velocity distributions together with the static pressure distributions within the impeller channels of radial-inflow turbines with and without splitter vanes are presented. The flow patterns within three stream surfaces (blade-to-blade surfaces) having different passage depths are shown using two performance parameters, i.e., nondimensional weight flow and nondimensional rotation speed. The impellers used were of purely radial type or of two-dimensional type. Further, theoretical predictions for the relative velocity distributions within the impeller channels having no splitter vanes were conducted, and comparisons of the theoretical results with experimental data were made.

State Examination

SummaryRecently two authors, Nash and Goldberg, have suggested, intuitively, that the rate at which the shear stress distribution in an incompressible, two-dimensional, turbulent boundary layer would return to its equilibrium value is directly proportional to the extent of the departure from the equilibrium state. Examination of the behaviour of the integral properties of the boundary layer supports this hypothesis. In the present paper a relationship similar to the suggestion of Nash and Goldberg is derived from the local balance of the kinetic energy of the turbulence. Coupling this simple derived relationship to the boundary layer momentum and moment-of-momentum integral equations results in quite accurate predictions of the behaviour of non-equilibrium turbulent boundary layers in arbitrary adverse (given) pressure distributions.

Cfd Analyses

A set of experimental analyses was conducted to determine static pressure drops inside non-metallic flexible, spiral wire helix core ducts, with different bent angles. In addition, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solutions were performed and verified by comparing them to the experimental data. The CFD computations were carried out to produce more systematic pressure drop information through these complex-geometry ducts. The experimental setup was constructed according to ASHRAE Standard 120-1999. Five different bent angles (0, 30, 45, 60, and 90 degrees) were tested at relatively low flow rates (11 to 89 CFM). Also, two different bent radii and duct lengths were tested to study flexible duct geometrical effects on static pressure drops. FLUENT 6.2, using RANS based two equations - RNG k-ε model, was used for the CFD analyses. The experimental and CFD results showed that larger bent angles produced larger static pressure drops in the flexible ducts. CFD analysis data were found to be in relatively good agreement with the experimental results for all bent angle cases. However, the deviations became slightly larger at higher velocity regimes and at the longer test sections. Overall, static pressure drop for longer length cases were approximately 0.01in.H2O higher when compared to shorter cases because of the increase in resistance to the flow. Also, the CFD simulations captured more pronounced static pressure drops that were produced along the sharper turns. The stronger secondary flows, which resulted from higher and lower static pressure distributions in the outer and inner surfaces, respectively, contributed to these higher pressure drops.
