Abstract: Turbine vanes experience high convective surface heat transfer as a consequence of the turbulent flow exiting the combustor. Before improvements to vane heat transfer predictions through boundary ...

Abstract: High free-stream turbulence along a gas turbine airfoil and strong secondary flows along the endwall have both been reported to increase convective heat transfer significantly. This study ...

Abstract: High freestream turbulence levels have been shown to greatly augment the heat transfer on a gas turbine airfoil. To better understand these effects, this study has examined the effects elevated ...

Abstract: As highly turbulent flow passes through downstream airfoil passages in a gas turbine engine, it is subjected to a complex geometry designed to accelerate and turn the flow. This acceleration ...
