Abstract: Abstract. As turbine inlet temperatures have steadily increased over several decades, turbine blade designs have transformed to accommodate higher gas path temperatures through the addition of internal convective cooling, ...

Abstract: As firing temperatures in gas turbine engines continue to increase to achieve high efficiencies, components in the main gas path must be protected with cooling flows to ensure lifing targets are met. Manufacturing variations, ...

Abstract: Abstract. Novel turbine blade cooling geometries have conventionally been assessed using computational methods, simplified flat-plate geometries, or large-scale wind tunnel models all at low-technology readiness levels. ...
