Abstract: Based on computational fluid dynamics and the finite volume method, water droplet erosion in the last stage of an industrial steam turbine was researched and the trajectories of the water droplets were traced by using the ...

Abstract: For solar plants, waste-energy recovery, and turbogenerators, there is a considerable amount of waste energy due to low mass flow rate. Owing to the high specific power output and large pressure ratios across the turbine, ...

Abstract: The present study proposes a novel rim film cooling design, motivated by the fact that the suction-side rim and the cavity floor near the leading edge of a conventional squealer tip with a camber-line film hole array are ...

Abstract: Endwall contouring and 3D blade configurations are effective techniques for enhancing turbomachinery performance. The integration of these technologies is an important area of investigation. To continue the numerical and ...
