The extension of a well established three dimensional flow calculation method to calculate the flow through multiple turbomachinery blade rows is described in this paper. To avoid calculating the unsteady flow, which is inherent in any machine containing both rotating and stationary blade rows, a mixing process is modelled at a calculating station between adjacent blade rows. The effects of this mixing on the flow within the blade rows may be minimised by using extrapolated boundary conditions at the mixing plane.

By inversing one of the stream functions and their principal equations in a three–dimensional flow the equations with the second–order partial derivatives of both the coordinate and another stream function are derived. The corresponding boundary conditions are easily specified. Based on these equations and the boundary conditions the convergent solution for turbomachinery blading is obtained. The computational results show that the method is simple and effective.

A numerical procedure to predict the impeller–volute interaction in a single-stage centrifugal compressor is presented. The method couples a three-dimensional unsteady flow calculation in the impeller with a three-dimensional time-averaged flow calculation in the volute through an iterative updating of the boundary conditions on the interface of both calculation domains. The method has been used to calculate the flow in a compressor with an external volute at off-design operation. Computed circumferential variations of flow angles, total temperature, and pressure are shown and compared with measurements. The good agreement between the predictions and measurements confirms the validity of the approach.
