Three-Dimensional Equations <strong>of</strong> Viscous Flow<br />

These equations can be solved by using an assumed model for the viscous<br />

turbulence together with a numerical process known as equation splitting.<br />

The velocity vector is decomposed into one that has no divergence and<br />

another that has no curl. The equations are coupled by the provision that<br />

fluid pressures must be the same for both velocity fields. This idea, which is<br />

an extension <strong>of</strong> the conventional boundary-layer technique, has the<br />

potential <strong>of</strong> accounting for all the the effects <strong>of</strong> viscosity, even secondary<br />

flows. This procedure was conceived by P. Dodge and was first presented in<br />

Waterman and Tall [34]. Future work may enable one to include the losses<br />

caused by flow through the clearances at the blade ends.<br />
