Abstract: The development of the unsteady suction side boundary layer of a highly loaded LP turbine blade has been investigated in a rectilinear cascade experiment. Upstream rotor wakes were simulated ...

Abstract: Recent attention has focused on the so-called “becalmed region” that is observed inside the boundary layers of turbomachinery blading and is associated with the process of wake-induced transition. ...

Abstract: This paper shows how it is possible to reduce the number of blades in LP turbines by approximately 15 percent relative to the first generation of high lift blading employed in the very ...

Abstract: This paper describes a detailed study into the unsteady boundary layer behavior in two high-lift and one ultra-high-lift Rolls-Royce Deutschland LP turbines. The objectives of the paper are to ...
