Abstract: Cooling flow behavior is investigated within the multiple serpentine passages with turbulators on the leading and trailing walls of an axial gas turbine blade operating at design-corrected conditions with accurate external ...

Abstract: The flow field in axial gas turbines is driven by strong unsteady interactions between stationary and moving components. While timeaveraged measurements can highlight many important flow features, developing a deeper ...

Abstract: Measurements are presented for a high-pressure transonic turbine stage operating at design-corrected conditions with forward and aft purge flow and blade film cooling in a short-duration blowdown facility. Four different ...

Abstract: A high-speed infrared camera is used to measure the temperature of blade tips in a cooled high-pressure turbine operating at corrected engine conditions in The Ohio State University short duration Turbine Test Facility. ...
