Abstract
The turbomachinery aerodynamic design process has been experiencing continuous progress using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools. The use of CFD-tools opens a new perspective in simulating the complex three-dimensional (3-D) turbomachinery flow field. Understanding the details of the flow motion and the interpretation of the numerical results require a thorough comprehension of fluid mechanics laws and the kinematics of fluid motion within the turbomachinery component. Kinematics is treated in many fluid mechanics texts. Aris [1] and Spurk [2] give excellent accounts of the subject. In the following sections, a compact and illustrative treatment is given to cover the basic needs of the reader.
