Compressible Shear Flows in the Duct with Varying Cross-Sectional Area

Summary:

The basic theory of the compressible non-swirling rotational flows through ducts with varying hub radii, associated with the concept of actuator discs, is described. The problem is simplified by considering a single-parameter in the radial velocity profile. Particular attention is given to the combined effects of the taper of inside walls and also of compressibility on the radial velocity and the axial velocity profile. The derived ordinary differential equation with non-homogeneous terms can be reduced to the well-known formula of classical actuator disc theories for the cylindrical passage. A numerical example is also presented.
