Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive study of the effect of shroud design in axial turbine aerodynamics. Experimental measurements and numerical simulations have been conducted on three different ...

Abstract: This paper presents the outcome of a recent study in clocking-related flow features and multistage effects occurring in high-pressure turbine blade geometries. The current investigation deals with ...

Abstract: A unique comparative experimental and numerical investigation carried out on two test cases with shroud configurations, differing only in the labyrinth seal path, is presented in this paper. The ...

Abstract: The aerodynamics and kinematics of flow structures, including the loss generation mechanisms, in the interstage region of a two-stage partially shrouded axial turbine are examined. The nonaxisymmetric ...
