Abstract

Some potential problems raised by the trailing-vortex theory of axial turbomachines are solved in the cases of cylindrical semi-infinite and infinite helicoidal vortices and of trailing vortices in a cone. The analysis is carried out for the cylindrical doubly infinite case and the dynamical problems are set up.

The results are in a form where further applications to the physical problems may be undertaken and actual computations worked out.

It is hoped that this work will be completed in the future.
