Abstract: For the most part, the flow over an axial compressor blade is subjected to adverse pressure gradients. Under low Reynolds number conditions, the flow could separate off the blade surface especially on the suction side, ...

Abstract: The flow and heat transfers inside high-pressure (HP) compressor rotating cavities are buoyancy driven and are known to be extremely difficult to predict. The experimental data of laser-Doppler anemometry (LDA) measurements ...

Abstract: The buoyancy-induced flow structure and heat transfer in rotating cavities is a well-known conjugate problem. The disk temperatures affect the flow and vice versa. This creates a challenging environment to study as it is ...

Abstract: The remarkable developments in gas turbine materials and cooling technologies have allowed a steady increase in combustor outlet temperature and, hence, in gas turbine efficiency over the last half century. However, the ...
