Abstract: Predictions of time-resolved flowfields are now commonplace within the gas-turbine industry, and the results of such simulations are often used to make design decisions during the development of ...

Abstract: Here we report on an effort to include an empirically based transition modeling capability in a Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes solver. Well known empirical models for both attached- and ...

Abstract: The ability to predict boundary layer transition locations accurately on turbomachinery airfoils is critical both to evaluate aerodynamic performance and to predict local heat-transfer coefficients ...

Abstract: The high pressure turbine stage within gas turbine engines is exposed to combustor exit flows that are nonuniform in both stagnation pressure and temperature. These highly turbulent flows typically ...
