摘要
The tip-clearance flow in a cascade was numerically simulated by solving theRANS equations of incompressible fluids. The computational model was based upon the artificialcompressibility formulation proposed by Chorin. The Baldwin-Lomax turbulence model was used to makethe governing equations closed. For the specific structure of tip-clearance flow, a multi-block gridstructure was adopted to facilitate numerical compulations. The comparison of numerical resultswith experimental data indicates that the present method is capable of simulating tip-clearanceflows with satisfactory accuracy.
