Owing to the type of the flow governing equation system
and the low efficiency of standard time-marching algorithm in solving the low Math number flows
a time marching code was explored to solve the incompressible internal flow field of turbomachinery based on the pseudo compressibility method.In the full paper
we explained our exploration in some detail;in this Abstract
we just added some pertinent remarks listing three topics of explanation.In the first topic
a universal N-S equation system was derived
which can govern both high subsonic and low Mach number flow by a pseudo compressibility factor developed by Chorin.In the second topic
four step Runge-Kutta time-marching method with the central difference scheme was employed to resolve the N-S equations.Also in the second topic
we pointed out how the optimal pseudo compressibility factor was determined.In the last topic
some numerical results and the analysis for a vane diffuser of a tested centrifugal compressor were presented.The analysis of these results shows preliminarily that:(1) for the low Mach number flowfield
both efficiency and accuracy of the time marching algorithm based on the pseudo compressibility method is higher than that of the traditional time-marching algorithm;(2) the pseudo compressibility method is a compensator for the time-marching algorithm
and the application of the time-marching algorithm is extended by introducing the pseudo compressibility method.
