Abstract: | The unsteady aerodynamic parameters of 3D blade cascades oscillating in incompressible flow are determined with account for blade geometry and the influence of the steady hydrodynamic loads acting on the blades. On the assumption of separationless flow and harmonic blade oscillations, the corresponding boundary-value problem for the amplitude function of the unsteady velocity potential component is solved in the linear formulation, using a finite-element method. Test calculation results are presented and an example of calculating the unsteady aerodynamic parameters of a hydro-turbine model is given.__________Translated from Izvestiya Rossiiskoi Academii Nauk, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 1, 2005, pp. 40–52.
