Abstract: Experimental and computational studies have been performed to investigate the detailed distribution of convective heat transfer coefficients on the first-stage blade tip surface for a geometry ...

Abstract: The effect of transition modeling on the heat transfer predictions from rotating turbine blades was investigated. Three-dimensional computations using a Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes code were ...

Abstract: The effect of five different C-type grid geometries on the predicted heat transfer and aerodynamic performance of a turbine stator is examined. Predictions were obtained using two flow analysis ...

Abstract: A combined experimental and computational study has been performed to investigate the detailed distribution of convective heat transfer coefficients on the first-stage blade tip surface for a ...

Abstract: Calculations were performed to simulate the tip flow and heat transfer on the GE-E3 first-stage turbine, which represents a modern gas turbine blade geometry. Cases considered were a smooth ...

Abstract: Calculations were performed to assess the effect of the tip leakage flow on the rate of heat transfer to blade, blade tip, and casing. The effect on exit angle and efficiency was also ...
