Unsteady gasdynamics of a linear cascade of airfoils executing small harmonic vibrations

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Numerical modeling of inviscid compressible gas flow past a linear cascade of airfoils executing small harmonic translational and rotational vibrations is carried out. The control volume method on moving unstructured grid structures is used for discretization of basic equations. The influence of the frequency and phase characteristics of the airfoils on the pressure distribution over their surface and the lift coefficient is investigated. The results of numerical calculations are compared to the available calculated and experimental data.
