Abstract
The governing equations are derived by circumferentially averaging the three-dimensional (3D) Navier-Stokes equations, which are solved using a time marching finite volume approach. Both Euler throughflow model and Navier-Stokes (N-S) throughflow model are employed to investigate the performance and flow fields of a highly loaded transonic single-stage fan ATS-2 and a four-stage fan. The results are compared with the experimental and three-dimensional computational results. It shows that the throughflow models can provide reasonable performance characteristics and N-S throughflow model gives better predictions in endwall regions. A throughflow computation in which all the non-axisymmetric terms are included has been performed at off-design condition and the radial distributions of the flow field can be well described.
