Abstract: This paper investigates the film cooling performances and thermal behavior of a blade tip winglet, which was initially investigated in a 1.5-stage experimental axial turbine facility and subsequently also tested in a gas ...

Abstract: For numerous hot gas parts (e.g., blades or vanes) of a gas turbine, thermal barrier coating (TBC) is used to reduce the metal temperature to a limit that is acceptable for the component and the required lifetime. However, ...

Abstract: Optimizing the aerothermal performance of the combustor–turbine interface is an important factor in enhancing the efficiency of heavy-duty gas turbines. Also, it is a key requirement to fulfill the lifetime in this hottest ...
