The Finite Volume Method (FVM) is a discretization method which is well suited for the numerical simulation of various types (elliptic, parabolic or hyperbolic, for instance) of conservation laws; it has been extensively used in several engineering fields. The Finite volume method uses a volume integral formulation of the problem with a finite partitioning set of volumes to discretize the equations [. the developed computer code based Cell-centered scheme and Fluent software had been used to investigate the inviscid Transonic Flow Pass Through an array of Turbine Stator Blades. The governing equation of fluid motion of the flow problem in hand is assumed governed by the compressible Euler Equation. Basically this equation behave as a mixed type of partial differential equation elliptic and hyperbolic type of partial differential equation. If the local Mach number is less than one, the governing equation will behave as elliptic type of differential equation while if the Mach number is greater than one it will behave as hyperbolic type of differential equation. To eliminate the presence a mixed type behavior, the governing equation of fluid motion are treated as the governing equation of unsteady flow although the problem in hand is steady flow problems. Presenting the Euler equation in their unsteady form makes the equation becomes hyperbolic with respect to time. There are various Finite Volume Methods can used for solving hyperbolic type of equation, such as Cell-centered scheme [, Roe Upwind Scheme [ and TVD Scheme [. The present work use a cell centered scheme applied to the case of flow pass through an array of turbine stator blades. The comparison carried out with the result provided by Fluent Software for three different value of back pressure. The developed computer code shows the result close to the Fluent software although the Fluent software use a Time Averaged Navier stokes equation as its governing equation of fluid motion. |
