Unsteady Aerodynamics and Aeroelasticity of Turbomachines

This volume contains the 55 papers presented at the 8th International Symposium on Unsteady Aerodynamics and Aeroelasticity of Turbomachines. They present the latest developments in the field and provide the reader with an overview of the state of the art in experimental, numerical and analytical research in the domain of aeroelasticity in turbomachines. Experimental results are discussed in depth and papers covering the whole range of prediction models, from analytical to fully three-dimensional viscous, coupled fluid-structure models, are included. Steady-state flow conditions of modern turbomachines have reached a state of maturity. However, the blades in the machines are constantly required to be more effective, simultaneously as weight and manufacturing costs must decrease. Together this gives more significance to unsteady flow phenomena. The latest developments in unsteady aerodynamic and aeroelastic problems in turbomachines are treated within this volume. The experienced designer, the researcher and the new graduate student should all find various parts of the book interesting.
