Learning outcomes |
This course aims to apply the acquired knowledge of Aero-Hydrodynamics to the analysis and design of cascades of blades and rows of turbomachinery blades.
After the frequency of this course, students should:
1. Be able to analyze the performance of turbines, pumps, compressors and fans (axial and radial).
2. Be able to choose and size the stages suitable for power generation in land.
3. Be able to scale a propulsion engine of an aircraft (turboprop, turbojet and turbofan).
4. Demonstrate ability in the use of specialized CFD software to design rows and cascades of blades for turbines and compressors.

Syllabus |
1. Introduction: general classification of turbomachines; basic elements and working principle. 2. Governing equations of tubomachines: continuity equation; Euller's equation for turbomachines; energy equation for compressible flow machines; entropy equation. 3. Two-dimensional cascades of blades: dynamic analysis and performance parameters; drag and lift coefficients; eficiency of a cascade; design steps; direct and inverse methods. 4. Dimensional analysis and similitude conditions: similitude laws; non-dimensional global performance parameters; local design variables; turbomachine families; non-dimensional characteristic curves; experiments in wind tunnel. 5. Computational modeling: implementation of a compressor cascade of blades in dedicated software (Fluent); exploration of the results.
