| Resumo: | This paper deals with the simulation of steady flows in tur- bomachinery. Two approaches are proposed, the first one is the classical multiple-rotating frame method (MRF) by multi- zone approach where the different zones are separated by non- overlapping interfaces and solved independently. Since each zone is loaded separately, a transferring system should be prop- erly implemented at the interface boundaries. Two techniques are considered, in the first one the conservative variables are in- terpolated between zones while in the second one the fluxes are transferred through the interfaces. The other proposed approach is a new version of the MRF using a virtual interface (VMRF). This is a simplified of the pre- vious one where the interfaces are created virtually at the solver level, rendering the method easy to implement especially for edge-based numerical schemes, and avoiding any re-meshing in case one needs to change interface position, shape or simply re- move or add new one. Finally, numerical tests are performed to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed methods by compari- son with commercial codes (ANSYS FLUENT).
