Ü Impeller | Blade properties BladeProp

 

On tabsheet Blade setup basic blade properties are defined.

 

BlProp_setup

 

 

(1) Selection of desired Blade shape
 

There are 5 different types:

Freeform 3D

General 2D

bl_3d

bl_2d

Circular 2D

Straight 2D

bl_circ

bl_straight

Radial element blades
(compressor and turbine only)

 

bl_rad

 

 

The initial blade shape of a radial pump impeller is Freeform 3D, the default selection for a ventilator impeller is Circular 2D and for turbines Radial element blade.

 

For Freeform 3D-blades the design of Ruled surface blades is optionally possible which are generated by spatial movement of a straight line.

 

 

(2) Defining the blade thickness values at leading (LE) and trailing edge (TE) in panel Blade thickness s

 

Blade thickness is important for the blade angle calculation due to the blockage effect and flow acceleration.

By different thickness on hub and shroud side a tapering to the blade tip can be designed.

 

 

(3) Specification of incidence angle on blade leading edge (deviation from shockless inflow) on panel ß1: Incidence

 

Pump, Ventilator, Compressor

Turbine

from ratio Q for shockles inflow / Q for max. efficiency

fully automatic by theory of WIESNER adapted by Aungier

or

directly by incidence angle i

(RQ=100% or i=0° for shockless inflow)

or

directly by incidence angle i

(i=0° for shockless inflow)

 

 

Pump-, Ventilator, Compressor impellers only ]

 

(4) Estimation of slip velocity in panel β2: Deviation flow – blade

 

fully automatic by selecting WIESNER theory

or

input of coefficient a when selecting PFLEIDERER theory

or

manual selection of angular deviation ß2B2 resp. velocity ratio cu2/cu2,∞ by selecting Self
