Abstract: The primary requirement for high pressure turbine heat transfer designs is to predict blade metal temperature. There has been a considerable recent effort in developing coupled fluid convection ...

Abstract: The paper describes a technique which enables measurements of the surface heat transfer rate to be made using thin-film gages deposited on a vitreous enamel-coated metal model. It is intended ...

Abstract: An experimental study of the eddy structure in a flat-plate turbulent boundary layer with significant levels of free-stream turbulence is presented. This is relevant to the enhancement of ...

Abstract: The unsteady effects of shock waves and wakes shed by the nozzle guide vane row on the flow over a downstream turbine rotor have been simulated in a transient cascade tunnel. At conditions ...

Abstract: The boundary layers of a transonic turbine blade have been measured in detail. The full velocity profiles have been measured at a number of stations on both the suction and pressure surfaces, ...

Abstract: This paper discusses large-scale, low-speed experiments that explain unexpected flow-interaction phenomena witnessed during annular cascade studies into the influence of external crossflow on film ...

Abstract: An empirical means of predicting the discharge coefficients of film cooling holes in an operating engine has been developed. The method quantifies the influence of the major dimensionless ...

Abstract: New, detailed flow field measurements are presented for a very large low-speed cascade representative of a high-pressure turbine rotor blade with turning of 110deg and blade chord of 1.0m. Data ...

Abstract: A closely combined experimental and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study on a transonic blade tip aerothermal performance at engine representative Mach and Reynolds numbers (Mexit=1,Reexit=1.2 ...
