Summary
The objective of this study is to examine the Baldwin-Lomax turbulence model in a finite volume solver to introduce a computer code for complex two-dimensional flows in turbomachinery. The turbulent model was tested with investigating the turbulent flow over a flat plate and other test cases. Three test cases are presented and the computed results are compared with experimental data. The calculated velocity profile agreed well with the experimental data in plate test case and the solver is validated in test case of flow over a semi NACA-0012 airfoil. The solver is used for flow through a multi-blade cascade of an axial compressor in design condition to show its capability of multi-block solution.
