Abstract
The report presents a computer program for prediction of performance of single-stage axial turbines of given geometry. The three-dimensional method developed by Vavra is applied, taking account of streamline curvatures and slopes, as well as enthalpy and entropy gradients in the solutions of the equation of motion, and of boundary layer thicknesses in the continuity equation. A choice among five different loss correlation methods and two flow angles correlations is offered. Loss coefficients and flow angles are automatically calculated from blading geometry and actual flow conditions for every streamline, according to the selected correlation method. (Author)
