Abstract: Brush seals are used to provide flow resistance between rotating and stationary components in gas turbines. Compliant filament seals, such as brush seals, exhibit a phenomenon called blow-down, ...

Abstract: Detailed measurements of the heat transfer coefficient (htc) distributions on the internal surfaces of a novel gas turbine blade cooling configuration were carried out using a transient liquid ...

Abstract: Impingement systems are common place in many turbine cooling applications. Generally these systems consist of a target plate that is cooled by the impingement of multiple orthogonal jets. While ...

Abstract: Transient liquid crystal techniques are widely used for experimental heat transfer measurements. In many instances it is necessary to model the heat transfer resulting from the temperature ...

Abstract: Control of over-tip leakage flow between turbine blade tips and the stationary shroud is one of the major challenges facing gas turbine designers today. The flow imposes large thermal loads ...
