The validity of flowfield predictions resulting from the choice of inlet velocity profiles is assessed. Results demonstrate that realistic predictions are forthcoming only from the inclusion of realistic axial, radial and swirl velocity profiles as inlet conditions. Predictions are then exhibited for a range of swirl strengths phi = 0, 38, 45, 60 and 70 degrees using measured inlet axial, radial and swirl velocity profiles in each case. Downstream nozzle effects (two blockage size at two axial locations) are included. The ensuing flowfields are characterized via velocity profiles and streamline patterns, and illustrate the large-scale effects of inlet swirl and outlet nozzles on flowfields.
