performance_model_lieblein Submodule

Aungier’s variant of Lieblein’s performance model for axial compressors. The model is based on the following references:

  • Aungier, R.H.: “Axial Flow Compressors: A Strategy for Aerodynamic Design and Analysis”,

The corresponding entry in the configuration file should look like this:

[[blade_row]]
  ...
  performance_model.type = "lieblein"
  performance_model.Ksh = 0.9
  performance_model.K1 = 0.004
  performance_model.K2 = 4.0
  performance_model.m1 = [0.17, -0.0333, 0.333]

See theory section of the documentation for more information on the parameters.
