Abstract: Flow visualization and heat transfer measurements have been made in a cavity comprising two nonplane disks of 762 mm diameter and a peripheral shroud, all of which could be rotated up to ...

Abstract: A combined theoretical and experimental study is described in which deswirl nozzles were used to reduce the radial pressure drop in a rotating cavity with a radial inflow of air. The nozzles, ...

Abstract: A combined theoretical and experimental study of radial inflow through a rotating cavity is reported. It is shown that radial fins attached to one of the disks are effective in reducing the ...

Abstract: Heat transfer measurements were made in two rotating cavity rigs, in which cooling air passed axially through the center of the disks, for a wide range of flow rates, rotational speeds, and ...

Abstract: A rotating cavity with an axial throughflow of cooling air is used to provide a simplified model for the flow that occurs between adjacent corotating compressor disks inside a gas turbine ...
