Project Approach
• 3 Main parts• Structured meshing• Using symmetry in mesh
generation
G.V B.R D.T

Next Steps
• Exporting the meshes to the solver (Fluent)
• Taking a down to top approach (part to total)
• Each passage and part will be solved with inlet mass flow boundary condition seperatly
• ? Using pridiodicity for 3 G.V+4 B.R then apply the outlet as the inlet of D.T

Open questions
• Confirmation of the B.R spatial location relative to the rotor shaft
• CFX Turbo instead of the Fluent
