The purpose of Dimensional Analysis

• Want to determine which variables to study.

• Want to determine the parameters that significantly affect the system.

• Reduce the cost/effort of experimental analysis by studying the most important groups of variables.

• The ideas can be used for any physical system.

• This will help in the design of scale test models

Similitude & Dimensional Analysis

•Scale model to prototype design and analysis.•Used to select proper turbo-machine (axial, radial or mixed flow,…)•Used to define performance parameters

Similarity Laws

• GEOMETRIC– Linear dimension ratios are the same everywhere.

– Photographic enlargement

• KINEMATIC (ϕm = ϕp)– Same flow coefficients

– Same fluid velocity ratios (triangles) are the same

• DYNAMIC (ψm = ψp)– Same loading coefficient

– Same force ratios (and force triangles)

• Energetic (m = p)– Same power coefficient

– Same energy ratios.

Euler’s GENERIC TURBOMACHINE (turbine, compressor, pump, ….)

•List the n physical quantities (Qn) with dimensions and the k fundamental dimensions. •There will be (n-k) π-terms.•Select k of these quantities, none dimensionless and no two having the same dimensions. •All fundamental dimensions must be included collectively in the quantities selected.

Flow Velocity Vs Blade Speed

Volumetric flow rate (Q) can be related to the fluid velocity :

A particular value of implies a specific relationship betweenfluid velocity and blade/impeller speed.
