The student will learn the basic phenomena occurring in inlets, impellers, diffusers, volutes, and return channels. The entire development and design process from 1D to 3D viscous methods is taught with live examples while stressing preliminary cycle work, velocity triangle optimization, blade loading considerations, viscous flow-field analysis, and structural analysis. Special emphasis is placed on surge, choke, design methodology, laboratory development, and model development. Students work a sample evaluation problem, and all lectures are given by internationally renowned authorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA major advance in understanding has been achieved in the Diffuser Consortium; the impact on stage distortion and possible effects on the design process.
