VON BACKSTROM, T.W. e VENTER, A.A.. Panel method prediction of flow through a torque converter turbine. R&D j. (Matieland, Online) [online]. 1994, vol.10, pp.31-40. ISSN 2309-8988.
The flow around the blades of a torque converter turbine, consisting of an axisymmetrical radial cascade, was investigated. The pressure distribution along the blade surfaces was determined experimentally, using a torque converter model equipped with pressure measuring stations on the blade surfaces of a stationary turbine. A two-dimensional potential flow panel method was developed for the analysis of incompressible flow through axisymmetrical radial cascades. The method was verified by application to a rectilinear cascade and through use of a conformai transformation. It yielded results in excellent correspondence with published data. For the turbine cascade the panel method predicted a blade surface pressure distribution which compared well enough with the experimental results to be considered as a blade profile design tool.
