Riassunto

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is now an essential andeffective tool used in the design of all types of turbomachine, andthis topic constitutes the main theme of this book. With over 50years of experience in the field of aerodynamics, Professor NaixingChen has developed a wide range of numerical methods coveringalmost the entire spectrum of turbomachinery applications.Moreover, he has also made significant contributions to practicalexperiments and real-life designs.

The book focuses on rigorous mathematical derivation of theequations governing flow and detailed descriptions of the numericalmethods used to solve the equations. Numerous applications of themethods to different types of turbomachine are given and, in manycases, the numerical results are compared to experimentalmeasurements. These comparisons illustrate the strengths andweaknesses of the methods – a useful guide for readers.Lessons for the design of improved blading are also indicated aftermany applications.

• Presents real-world perspective to the past, present and futureconcern in turbomachinery
• Covers direct and inverse solutions with theoretical andpractical aspects
• Demonstrates huge application background in China
• Supplementary instructional materials are available on thecompanion website

Aerothermodynamics of Turbomachinery: Analysis and Designis ideal for senior undergraduates and graduates studying in thefields of mechanics, energy and power, and aerospace engineering;design engineers in the business of manufacturing compressors,steam and gas turbines; and research engineers and scientistsworking in the areas of fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, and heattransfer.

L'autore:

Naixing Chen is a Professor of Aerodynamics at Institute ofEngineering Thermophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, where hehas been working for nearly 30 years since 1980 and had served asthe former Director (1986 -1992) and Honorary Chairman ofScientific Committee (1992 - 1999). He worked as an AssociateProfessor and Deputy Division Head at the Institute of Mechanics,Chinese Academy of Sciences from 1978 to 1980.  He was anHonorary Visiting Professor of the University of Auckland, NewZealand, from 1997 to 1999.
Since 1980s, Chen has been member of organizing or advisorycommittee of a couple of international conferences in his researchfield. He is also a very active with the editorial boards ofjournals. Chen also holds considerable honors including State Awardof Natural Science (2002, Chinese government).
Chen has been very active in R & D in the area ofaero-thermodynamics of turbomachinery for more than 50 years. He isone of the three leading authors of a very popular and influentialtextbook in China in the field of trubomachinery. He received aDiploma Engineering Degree and a Master Degree from The MoscowBaumann Technical University, both in turbomachinery.
