A three-dimensional computational model is developed to analyze fluid flow in a semi-porous channel. In order to understand the developing fluid flow and heat transfer process inside the semi-porous channels, the conventional Navier-Stokes equations for gas channel, and volume-averaged Navier-Stokes equations for porous media layer are adopted individually in this study. Conservation of mass, momentum and energy equations are solved numerically in a coupled gas and porous media domain in a channel using the vorticity-velocity method with power law scheme. Detailed development of axial velocity, secondary flow and temperature fields at various axial positions in the entrance region are presented. The friction factor and Nusselt number are presented as a function of axial position, and the effects of the size of porous media inside semi-porous channel are also analyzed in the present study.

Splitter blades located between stator blades in a single-stage axial compressor were proposed and investigated in this work to find their effects on aerodynamic performance and operating stability. Aerodynamic performance of the compressor was evaluated using three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations using the k-e turbulence model with a scalable wall function. The numerical results for the typical performance parameters without stator splitter blades were validated in comparison with experimental data. The numerical results of a parametric study using four geometric parameters (chord length, coverage angle, height and position) of the stator splitter blades showed that the operational stability of the single-stage axial compressor enhances remarkably using the stator splitter blades. The splitters were effective in suppressing flow separation in the stator domain of the compressor at near-stall condition which affects considerably the aerodynamic performance of the compressor.
