Singularity calculating program is an important approach to design blade airfoils of axial flow machinery. This method is originally used in the runner design of propeller turbines. High efficiency and satisfactory performance of the runners has proved that this program has many advantages compared with other calculating methods for axial flow machines. To improve performance characteristics of axial flow pumps, it is valuable to introduce singularity calculating approach for the design of axial flow pumps. The principles in this program can be described briefly as follows. A vortex sheet is placed along a special curve in the uniform flow field with planar potential flow. If the induced velocity superimposed with the original planar uniform flow can ensure the curve to be a streamline and this streamline can meet all flowing boundary conditions, a solid curved thin plate can be used to replace the vortex sheet, for the flow field formed by the plate and the flow field without the plate are identical. Because velocity distribution of a potential flow is determined by its potential function, which satisfies the Laplacian equation. The solution to any Laplacian equation is solely determined by boundary conditions of the flow. As the induced velocity is developed by vortex sheet, the vortex density distribution along the sheet is very important. In a developed planar flow surface, for the same cascade, energy conversion and relative velocity in the runners and impellers are opposite, and stagnant point and singular point are also located in 2 opposite positions of the same airfoil. As a result, the vortex density distribution along the airfoil mean line can’t be the same for the cascade when used for 2 kinds of hydraulic machines. However, there is only one distribution function presented in traditional approaches reported in all literatures. Further analysis showed that the traditional distribution function was only suitable for boundary conditions of runner airfoils. Later a new type of vortex density function w
