Abstract: In this paper, high and low speed tip flows are investigated for a high-pressure turbine blade. Previous experimental data are used to validate a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, which ...

Abstract: The effect of leading-edge geometry on the wake/boundary-layer interaction was studied in a low-speed single-stage HP compressor. Both a 3:1 elliptic and a circular leading edge were tested on ...

Abstract: The benefits of different film cooling geometries are typically assessed in terms of their time-averaged performance. It is known that the mixing between the coolant film and the main turbine ...
