Numerical computation of the flowfield inside a pump is herein used as a numerical laboratory, subject to the limitations of modeling assumptions and to experimental verification. A numerical computation of the flow inside a real industrial centrifugal pump is performed that includes a very sophisticated geometry. Conversely to other computations, in this test case no simplification of the geom...<br/><br/>Páscoa J. C., Silva F. J., Pinheiro J. S., Martins D. J.

3D computations for a highly loaded transonic blade and for a gas turbine stage. Comparison between experimental results and numerical computations reveals the precision limits of current modeling assumptions. Computations are performed using a time-marching approach coupled with a mixing-plane model for the exchange of flowfields between stator and rotor domains. Eddy viscosity turbulence mode...<br/><br/>Páscoa J. C., Xisto C. M., Göttlich E. (2010) <i>Journal of Mechanical Science and Technology</i> 24: 10 2035-2042<br/>

An improved formulation for an iterative inverse design method is presented. The method solves the time dependent Euler equations in a numerical domain where the blade sections are iteratively modified, until a prescribed blade load distribution is reached. The mean tangential velocity and thickness distributions are imposed as design variables. Each design iteration starts with a blade sectio...<br/><br/>Páscoa J. C., Mendes A. C., Gato L.M.C.
