1. General treatment of flow equations in turbomachinery

This article should be consulted in support of the document [BM4219] "Turbomachinery: calculation of incompressible flows – Modeling". The aim is to summarize the approaches used to numerically simulate incompressible fluid flows through the various fixed or moving parts of a turbomachine, whether generating (turbine) or receiving (pumps, fans), which is generally shrouded (figure 1 ).

Most of the document is based on the equations...
