Abstract: An experimental and numerical investigation of phantom cooling effects on cooled and uncooled rotating high pressure turbine blades in a full scale 1 + 1/2 stage turbine test is presented. Objectives set to capture, separate, ...

Abstract: The focus of the study presented here was to investigate the interaction between the blade and downstream vane of a stageandonehalf transonic turbine via computation fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis and experimental data. A ...

Abstract: This paper presents the reasoning for and the design process of contouring a high lift frontloaded low pressure turbine (LPT) airfoil near the endwall to reduce the endwall loss. The test airfoil, L2F, was designed to the ...

Abstract: This effort focuses on the comparison of unsteadiness due to as-measured turbine blades in a transonic turbine to that obtained with blueprint geometries via computational fluid dynamics (CFD). A Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes ...

Abstract: Here, we describe a combined design, numerical, and experimental program intended substantially to increase the lift and work of low-pressure turbine stages. This exercise is critically dependent upon the appropriate ...

Abstract: Accurate predictions of unsteady forcing on turbine blades are essential for the avoidance of high-cycle-fatigue issues during turbine engine development. Further, if one can demonstrate that predictions of unsteady ...

Abstract: A new class of power generation devices that experiences increased losses due to bulk flow separation in segments of their expected in-flight regime is emerging. As such, active flow control becomes increasingly relevant ...
