Abstract
Two different computer programs have been used for the calculation of the subsonic flow in a non-rotating cascade. One of the computer codes, PHOENICS, is a general-purpose code applicable in a wide range of problems in fluid dynamics. PHOENICS solves the full Navier-Stokes equations in three dimensions. The other program used in this comparison is a potential flow code, that is based on the quasi-three dimensional theories of Wu. In the present investigation the results from the two programs’ pressure distributions, outlet flow angles and outlet velocities are compared for a chosen test cascade. These comparisons are also evaluated against corresponding experimentally determined quantities.
