Abstract: Leakage flow loss is an important factor affecting the aerodynamic efficiency of turbines. In this paper, experimental and numerical computational studies were used to investigate three different tips of a highly loaded ...

Abstract: The aerodynamic performance of a winglet baffle cavity tip is investigated at different inlet incidences from −12.5 to +12.5 deg. This blade tip shows a geometry feature with a pressure side winglet and a baffle within the ...
