A three-dimensional passage flow analysis method aimed at centrifugal impellers
A partially parabolic procedure is developed to analyze three-dimensional viscous flows through curve ducts of arbitrary cross-section. The procedure, eventually aimed at centrifugal impeller analysis, incorporates a finite-volume method using a strong conservation form of the parabolized Navier-Stokes equations written in arbitrary curvilinear coordinates. Cartesian velocity components and pressure are used as dependent variables. A solution is achieved through pressure corrections which influence velocity semi-implicitly.
