... harmonic balance method is derived and adapted to phase lag periodic conditions to allow the simulation of only one blade passage per row regardless of row blade counts. Sophisticated space and time interpolations are involved and detailed. The test case is a single stage subsonic compressor. A convergence...

... from the quasi-steady assumption. In order to make the steady-unsteady comparison for a multiple entry turbine, a wide set of steady equal and unequal admission flow conditions were tested. The steady-state data was then interpolated as a function of three, nondimensional parameters in order to allow...

..., University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand. Both of these methods are well suited for the submodel boundary surfaces when eight-node brick elements are used. The use of higher-order elements can result in the need to perform some extra interpolation at the middle of element surface areas (e.g...
