Motivation
Flows involving rotating domains occur frequently in engineering
pressors and turbines
fans and pumps
rotating cavities, seals, and bearings
mixing equipment
fluid coupling devices and torque converters
air motors
marine and aircraft propellers
and many more…
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) today plays a central role in the design and analysis of rotating machinery
Examples of Rotating Machinery
gas turbine engine
automotive water pump
tube axial fan
steam turbine
HVAC blower unit
hydro turbine

Types of Rotating Machinery
In this course, we will classify rotating machinery as follows:
Turbomachinery - machines which add work to or extract work from a pressors, fans, pumps - add work to achieve a pressure rise in the fluid
turbines, windmills - extract work from fluid to drive other machines
Mixing equipment - machines which are designed to mix fluid (and possibly solid) materials for use in a chemical processing application
industrial mixing tanks
Rotating tanks, seals, cavities, and other devices
disk cavities and labyrinth seals in gas turbine engines
electric motor cooling passages
disk drives
rotating tires on automotive vehicles
All of these applications involve rotating surfaces and domains (and thus may use a rotating reference frame for modeling)
