Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
- Derivation of the equations, basic principles.
- Quasi-3D approach, absolute and relative frames of reference, potential flows, cascade flows.
- Cascade flows: mass, momentum and energy balances, correlations for compressors and turbines, resolution of the Euler equations using finite volumes.
- Meridonal flows: design procedure and analysis procedure.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
To understand the physics of the flow in turbomachines.
To understand the methods used for aerodynamic design of turbomachines.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics and Aerodynamics.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Projects are organized which consist in designing a compressor or turbine stage and analysing its performance, using MATLAB or FORTRAN programming.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)
8 sessions of 4 hours each are organized during the first part of the academic year.
Recommended or required readings
Course notes are available, as well as a collection of solved exercises. These notes are regularly updated and are distributed during the course.
Assessment methods and criteria
The examination consits in presenting the results of the project.
