This physics-first, design-oriented textbook explains concepts of gas turbine secondary flows, reduced-order modeling methods, and 3-D CFD.
This long-awaited, physics-first and design-oriented text describes and explains the underlying flow and heat transfer theory of secondary air systems. An applications-oriented focus throughout the book provides the reader with robust solution techniques, state-of-the-art three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methodologies, and examples of compressible flow network modeling. It clearly explains elusive concepts of windage, non-isentropic generalized vortex, Ekman boundary layer, rotor disk pumping, and centrifugally-driven buoyant convection associated with gas turbine secondary flow systems featuring rotation. The book employs physics-based, design-oriented methodology to compute windage and swirl distributions in a complex rotor cavity formed by surfaces with arbitrary rotation, counter-rotation, and no rotation. This text will be a valuable tool for aircraft engine and industrial gas turbine design engineers as well as graduate students enrolled in advanced special topics courses.
Fluid Mechanics: An Intermediate Approach addresses the problems facing engineers today by taking on practical, rather than theoretical problems. Instead of following an approach that focuses on mathematics first, this book allows you to develop an intuitive physical understanding of various fluid flows, including internal compressible flows with s
Logan's Turbomachinery: Flowpath Design and Performance Fundamentals, Third Edition is the long-awaited revision of this classic textbook, thoroughly updated by Dr. Bijay Sultanian. While the basic concepts remain constant, turbomachinery design has advanced since the Second Edition was published in 1993. Airfoils in modern turbomachines feature three-dimensional geometries, Computational Fluid Mechanics (CFD) has become a standard design tool, and major advances have been made in the materials and manufacturing technologies that affect turbomachinery design. The new edition adresses these trends to best serve today's students, and design engineers working in turbomachinery industries.
"Fluid Mechanics: An Intermediate Approach helps readers develop a physics-based understanding of complex flows and mathematically model them with accurate boundary conditions for numerical predictions. The new edition starts with a chapter reviewing key undergraduate concepts in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, introducing the generalized conservation equation for differential and integral analyses. It concludes with a self-study chapter on computational fluid dynamics of turbulent flows, including physics-based postprocessing of 3D CFD results and entropy map generation for accurate interpretation and design applications. The book includes numerous worked examples and end-of-chapter problems for student practice. It also discusses how to numerically model compressible flow over all Mach numbers in a variable-area duct, accounting for friction, heat transfer, rotation, internal choking, and normal shock formation. The book is intended for graduate mechanical and aerospace engineering students taking courses in Fluid Mechanics and Gas Dynamics. Instructors will be able to utilize a Solutions Manual for their course"--
