Abstract: The lower fuel burn and pollutant emissions of hybrid electric vehicles give a strong motivation and encourage further investigations in this field. The know-how on hybrid vehicle technology is ...

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental investigation of a novel approach for controlling the rotor tip leakage and secondary flow by injecting cooling air from the stationary casing onto the rotor ...

Abstract: In order to advance the technology for measurements in higher temperature flows, a novel miniature (diameter 2.5 mm) fast response probe that can be applied in flows with temperatures of up ...

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental study of the behavior of leakage flow across shrouded turbine blades. Stereoscopic particle image velocimetry and fast response aerodynamic probe measurements ...

Abstract: In this paper we examine the interaction between the cavity and main flows of three different rotor cavities. For each of the three rotor cavities, the cavity inlets differ in their axial ...

Abstract: Hot streaks can cause localized hot spots on the blade surfaces in a high pressure turbine, increasing the heat load locally and even leading to material loss in regions such as the rotor ...

Abstract: The effect of dilution air control in a combustor on the heat load distribution of an axial turbine with nonaxisymmetric endwall profiling is examined. Endwall profiling is a more common design ...
