Notes:
In this work a study of the application of the finite element method to transonic flows in axial turbomachines is undertaken.Solution techniques capable of accurately predicting flows from the incompressible regime up to the establishment of shocks in the transonic regime are presented. In the subsonic and shockless transonic regimes a local linearization method capable of very rapid convergence is used. In the full transonic regime the artificial compressibility method is employed to exclude downstream influences in the supersonic regions. The two approaches can be combined in a unified package and appropriate switches introduced to select the relevant method in any flow regime.
