CFD Calculations in Turbomachinery and their Validation
Váchová, J. ; Louda, P. ; Příhoda, Jaromír ; Luxa, Martin ; Šimurda, David
Numerical data obtained by 2D compressible flow CFD simulation were validated by the comparison with experimental results. The investigation was made on the mid-section of the 48" long rotor blade and it was focused on the effect of shock-wave interactions with shear layers. This interaction results in the laminar/turbulent transition where separated flow occurs and it has impacts on flow structure and the blade cascade losses. Numerical simulations were carried out by two different codes: the commercial code NUMECA based on the gamma-Re transition model connected with the SST k-epsilon/k-omega turbulence model and in-house code of the Dept. of Technical mathematics, CTU Prague/ Institute of Thermodynamics in Prague. Simulations of the laminar and the fully turbulent flows were accomplished for comparison using the same numerical approach.

Measurements of 3D Flow Field Behind the Blade Cascade SE 1050
Šimurda, David ; Luxa, Martin
The paper is concerned with measurements of 3D flow field at exit of the Blade Cascade SE1050. Data was collected using traversing device with a small five-hole conical probe. Prior to measurements of the flow exiting the blade cascade, investigations of inlet velocity profile and inlet turbulence intensity were conducted. Measurements of exit flow field were performed at design angle of incidence and at a transonic and a subsonic regime. Data analysis reveals development of distinctive vortex structures resulting from non-uniform inlet velocity profile. Origin of these structures results in increased loss of kinetic energy and spanwise shift of kinetic energy loss coefficient distribution.
