Abstract: Unraveling the flow physics pertaining to hot gas ingress in turbines is crucial in enabling designers to realize global decarbonization targets in aerospace. A turbine rim seal is fitted at the periphery of the rotor–stator ...

Abstract: Ingress is the penetration of hot mainstream gas into the rotor–stator wheel-space formed between adjacent disks; a rim seal is installed at the periphery of the wheel-space. Purge flow is bled from the compressor and ...
