Abstract

In this paper, a throughflow with swirling inflow in an annular diffuser is calculated. Under the assumption of small cross-flow, the flow near inner and outer wall surfaces is calculated based on the three-dimensional momentum integral equation of the boundary layer. The potential flow outside the boundary layer is computed by means of the iteration method based on the velocity gradient equation along the quasi-orthogonal direction of the meridional projection of the stream-line on the meridional surface and the constancy of flux equation[1]. The numerical results agree with the experiments quite well. This method is useful for analyzing the throughflow with pre-swirl in the annular diffuser.
