Abstract

The Lorenz theory has been extended to the viscous, laminar, incompressible flow through axial-flow turbo-machines with infinitesimal blade spacing. Expressions are derived for the velocity components, pressure, power input and output for arbitrary blade surfaces. A numerical example is presented and the flow variables and blade surfaces are plotted.
