Axial compressors are characterized by a high axial flow velocity relative to the angular velocity.
Notation
c : absolute velocities; fixed reference frame (test bed or aircraft frame)
w : relative velocities; reference frame attached to rotor
Determine flow field that will be compatible with high compresor efficiency and minimum compressor size for a given pressure ratio. If the flow field is properly designed, one can specify blading that will guide the flow accordingly
Using the euler equations allows for solving fiction and shock waves.
