Abstract: As new aeroengine architectures move to larger diameter fans and rotors, the associated increase in weight will need to be counterbalanced by lighter, more compact, and more efficient low-pressure turbines (LPT). Efficiency ...

Abstract: The windage torque on rotational walls has a negative effect on the performance of the low-pressure turbine. In this paper, three novel flow control concepts (FCCs) were proposed to reduce the windage torque within a turbine ...
