Figure 50 Interference diagram (frequency versus nodal diameter) for a six-blade<br />

group (packet).<br />

Earlier programs could not take into account these complex radial<br />

flows because <strong>of</strong> the lack <strong>of</strong> computational tools. The state <strong>of</strong> the art for<br />

analysis <strong>of</strong> flows is that three-dimensional flows within blade rows can be<br />

calculated and two-dimensional calculations <strong>of</strong> condensing flows can be<br />

calculated. The next step is the calculation <strong>of</strong> three-dimensional condensing<br />

flows and to combine the effects <strong>of</strong> vapor subcooling (supersaturation),<br />

shock wave development, spontaneous condensation, and three-dimensional<br />

flow on overall stage losses.<br />

The results <strong>of</strong> three-dimensional CFD are used to improve blade<br />

designs that optimize the shape <strong>of</strong> the concave (pressure) and convex<br />
