Similarity
Considerations
Similarity considerations on
hydrodynamic machines are an
attempt to describe the
performance of a given machine
by comparison with the
experimentally known
performance of another machine
under modified operating
conditions, such as a change of
speed.

Similarity
Considerations
• Valid when:
– Geometric similarity
– All velocity components are
equally scaled
– Same velocity directions
– Velocity triangles are kept the
same
– Similar force distributions
– Incompressible flow
3
These three dynamic relations
together are the basis of all
fundamental similarity relations for the
flow in turbo machinery.

Under the assumption that the only
forces acting on the fluid are the
inertia forces, it is possible to
establish a definite relation between
the forces and the velocity under
similar flow conditions

In connection with turbo
machinery, Newton’s 2.
law is used in the form of
the impulse or
momentum law:
c
F = m
t
m
= rQ
t


F = r  Q  c
For similar flow conditions the
velocity change c is proportional to
the velocity c of the flow through a
cross section A.
It follows that all mass or inertia
forces in a fluid are proportional to
the square of the fluid velocities.

By applying the total head H under
which the machine is operating, it is
possible to obtain the following
relations between the head and
either a characteristic fluid velocity c
in the machine, or the peripheral
velocity of the runner. (Because of the
kinematic relation in equation 1)

The reduced parameters are
values relative to the highest
velocity that can be obtained
if all energy is converted to
kinetic energy
