Excerpt from Design of Transonic Cascades by Conformal Transformation of the Complex Characteristics Even a casual reading of newspaper or magazine articles suggests that ours is a world which is vitally concerned with both the production and conservation of energy. People every where are searching for new, cheaper, and environmentally safe energy resources, while others are trying to find more efficient ways of using the energy we already have. This work is consistent with those efforts in that it seeks to further develop a technology which, properly applied, could contribute to the solution of both aspects of the energy problem. To be specific, we are here concerned with developing a procedure for the numerical design of transonic turbine and compressor blade profiles in two dimensions. We say that a flow is transonic if it attains speeds both above and below that of sound. Such a procedure might be used to design more efficient axial flow compressors for use in the produc tion of enriched uranium at gaseous diffusion plants, as well as in the construction of lighter, more efficient airplane engines for better fuel consumption. Improving the design of high speed turbomachinery could be of practical benefit to a great many people. The techniques used here are a direct result of work on the supercritical wing. First designed by Whitcomb and his associates at the Langley Research Center in Virginia. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book provides a thorough description of actual, working aerodynamic design and analysis systems, for both axial-flow and radial-flow turbines. It describes the basic fluid dynamic and thermodynamic principles, empirical models and numerical methods used for the full range of procedures and analytical tools that an engineer needs for virtually any type of aerodynamic design or analysis activity for both types of turbine. The book includes sufficient detail for readers to implement all or part of the systems. The author provides practical and effective design strategies for applying both turbine types, which are illustrated by design examples. Comparisons with experimental results are included to demonstrate the prediction accuracy to be expected. This book is intended for practicing engineers concerned with the design and development of turbines and related machinery.

Analogue Gravity Phenomenology is a collection of contributions that cover a vast range of areas in physics, ranging from surface wave propagation in fluids to nonlinear optics. The underlying common aspect of all these topics, and hence the main focus and perspective from which they are explained here, is the attempt to develop analogue models for gravitational systems. The original and main motivation of the field is the verification and study of Hawking radiation from a horizon: the enabling feature is the possibility to generate horizons in the laboratory with a wide range of physical systems that involve a flow of one kind or another. The years around 2010 and onwards witnessed a sudden surge of experimental activity in this expanding field of research. However, building an expertise in analogue gravity requires the researcher to be equipped with a rather broad range of knowledge and interests. The aim of this book is to bring the reader up to date with the latest developments and provide the basic background required in order to appreciate the goals, difficulties, and success stories in the field of analogue gravity. Each chapter of the book treats a different topic explained in detail by the major experts for each specific discipline. The first chapters give an overview of black hole spacetimes and Hawking radiation before moving on to describe the large variety of analogue spacetimes that have been proposed and are currently under investigation. This introductory part is then followed by an in-depth description of what are currently the three most promising analogue spacetime settings, namely surface waves in flowing fluids, acoustic oscillations in Bose-Einstein condensates and electromagnetic waves in nonlinear optics. Both theory and experimental endeavours are explained in detail. The final chapters refer to other aspects of analogue gravity beyond the study of Hawking radiation, such as Lorentz invariance violations and Brownian motion in curved spacetimes, before concluding with a return to the origins of the field and a description of the available observational evidence for horizons in astrophysical black holes.
