Synopsis

Twenty-one years have passed since the first symposium in this series was held in Paris (1976). Since then there have been meetings in Lausanne (1980), Cambridge (1984), Aachen (1987), Beijing (1989), Notre Dame (1991) and Fukuoka (1994). During this period a tremendous development in the field of unsteady aerodynamics and aeroelasticity in turbomachines has taken place. As steady-state flow conditions become better known, and as blades in the turbomachine are constantly pushed towards lower weight, and higher load and efficiency, the importance of unsteady phenomena appear more clearly. th The 8 Symposium was, as the previous ones, of high quality. Furthermore, it presented the audience with the latest developments in experimental, numerical and theoretical research. More papers than ever before were submitted to the conference. As the organising committee wanted to preserve the uniqueness of the symposium by having single sessions, and thus mingle speakers and audience with different backgrounds in this interdisciplinary field, only a limited number of papers could be accepted. 54 papers were accepted and presented at the meeting, all of which are included in the present proceedings.

About this title

Synopsis

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.
