Popis:	A Finite element computer code is presented for calculation of three-dimensional compressible flows in turbomachinery under the steady and potential flow limitations. The method used relies upon a variational statement equivalent to the classical velocity potential formulation of this problem. The solution domain is discretized by using hexahedral superelements each composed of six ten-node tetrahedral elements enabling quadratic interpolation of velocity potential. The code offers the flexibility of choosing a combination of subparametric and isoparametric elements. Application of the code to the Gostelow cascade, an experimental turbine stator, the first stage stator and rotor of an electric utility axial flow turbine and finally to a mixed flow turbine rotor are presented. The validity of the results are established by comparison with the exact solution, experimental data and calculations by other numerical methods.Copyright © 1984 by ASME
