Abstract: In recent years, lattice Boltzmann methods (LBMs) have become popular for solving fluid flow problems of engineering interest. Reasons for this popularity are due to the advantages of this method, which are, for example, ...

Abstract: The compressors of power-generation gas turbines (GTs) have a high stage count, blades with low aspect ratios, and large clearances. These features promote strong secondary flows. An important outcome deriving from the ...

Abstract: The current industrial standard for numerical simulations of axial compressors is the steady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) approach. Besides the well-known limitations of mixing planes, namely their inherent ...
