Aerothermodynamics of Turbomachinery (PDF)

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is now an essential and
effective tool used in the design of all types of turbomachine, and
this topic constitutes the main theme of this book. With over 50
years of experience in the field of aerodynamics, Professor Naixing
Chen has developed a wide range of numerical methods covering
almost the entire spectrum of turbomachinery applications.
Moreover, he has also made significant contributions to practical
experiments and real-life designs.

The book focuses on rigorous mathematical derivation of the
equations governing flow and detailed descriptions of the numerical
methods used to solve the equations. Numerous applications of the
methods to different types of turbomachine are given and, in many
cases, the numerical results are compared to experimental
measurements. These comparisons illustrate the strengths and
weaknesses of the methods - a useful guide for readers.
Lessons for the design of improved blading are also indicated after
many applications.
