Abstract: To enhance turbine efficiency, it is essential to mitigate the loss generated by irreversible phenomena taking place in turbine flows, including boundary layers, shock waves, vortices, and trailing edge wakes. A fast and ...

Abstract: Purge air is injected in cavities at the hub of axial turbines to prevent hot mainstream gas ingestion into interstage gaps. This process induces additional losses for the turbine due to an interaction between the purge ...

Abstract: In gas turbine, multi-stage row blading and technological effects can exhibit significant differences for the flow compared with isolated smooth blade rows. Upstream stages promote a non-uniform flow field at the inlet of ...
