Abstract: The paper describes a comprehensive computer aided design procedure and its use to investigate mixed flow turbines for automotive turbocharger applications. The outside dimensions of rotor and ...

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: Reliable cascade data are esssential to the development of high-speed turbomachinery, but it has long been suspected that the tunnel environment influences the test results. This has now been ...

Abstract: A series of high-pressure turbine nozzle guide vanes has been designed for progressively increasing blade loading and reduction in blade solidity without additional loss penalty. Early members ...

Abstract: Experiments to measure losses of a linear cascade of transonic turbine blades are reported. Detailed measurements of the boundary layer at the rear of the suction surface of a blade and ...

Abstract: The effect of thermal barrier coating surface roughness on the aerodynamic performance of gas turbine aerofoils has been investigated for the case of a profile typical of current first-stage ...
