Abstract: In recent years, unsteady flow-control technology has been considered as more promising for reducing secondary flow loss in turbines. Sweeping jet actuators (SJAs), in particular, have steadily been used in turbomachinery ...

Abstract: Labyrinth seals on both rotor casing and blade tip as an effective method to control the leakage flowrate of the shroud and improve aerodynamic performances in a transonic turbine stage are investigated in this study. ...
