Abstract
This paper is concerned with the numerical solution of the secondary vorticity equations in curved ducts, cascades, and rotors. The classical approach of splitting the flow into primary and secondary flow fields is employed and extended to include effects of viscosity, rotation, and density stratification. All elliptical effects are neglected and the Crank-Nicolson method is used to solve the secondary vorticity equation. The secondary flow field is obtained by solving a Poisson equation using a successive over-relaxation method. The results are compared with theoretical and experimental data from stationary ducts, compressor and turbine cascades. The agreement is good for most of the cases.
