Abstract: A study of the three-dimensional stator-rotor interaction in a turbine stage is presented. Experimental data reveal vortices downstream of the rotor which are stationary in the absolute ...

Abstract: A new three-dimensional Navier–Stokes solver for flows in turbomachines has been developed. The new solver is based on the latest version of the Denton codes but has been implemented to run ...

Abstract: Sweep, when the stacking axis of the blade is not perpendicular to the axisymmetric streamsurface in the meridional view, is often an unavoidable feature of turbine design. Although a high ...

Abstract: Sweep, when the stacking axis of the blade is not perpendicular to the axisymmetric stream surface in the meridional view, is often an unavoidable feature of turbine design. In a previously ...

Abstract: Experimental data and numerical simulations are presented from a research turbine with low aspect ratio nozzle guide vanes (NGVs). The combined effects of mechanical and aerodynamic constraints ...

Abstract: A methodology is presented to allow designers to estimate the penalty for turbine efficiency associated with film cooling. The approach is based on the control volume analysis of Hartsel and ...

Abstract: Three-dimensional steady multistage calculations, using the mixing plane approach, are compared with experimental measurement in a low-speed three-stage model turbine. The comparisons are made with ...

Abstract: Shear layers shed by aircraft wings roll up into vortices. A similar, though far less common, phenomenon can occur in the wake of a turbomachine blade. This paper presents experimental data ...

Abstract: Individual nozzle guide vanes (NGV’s) in modern aeroengines are often cast as a single piece with integral hub and casing endwalls. When in operation, there is a leakage flow through the ...
