An approximate blade-element design method is developed for compressible or incompressible nonviscous flow in high-solidity stators or rotors of axial-, radial-, or mixed-flow compressors, turbines, or two-dimensinal cascades. The method is based upon channel-type flow between blade elements on a specified surface of revolution that lies between the hub and shroud (casing) and is concentric with the axis of the compressor turbine. The blade elements is designed for prescribed velocities along the blade-element profile as a function of distance along meridonal lines on the surface of revolution. Two numerical examples are presented: (1) the design of a blade-element profile for a plane two-dimensional cascade in compressible flow with the prescribed velocities along the profiles; and (2) the design of a blade element for the impeller of a mixed-flow centrifugal compressor.
