Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) has emerged as a method to prototype novel designs for turbine airfoil cooling with complex internal and film cooling geometries. Creating engine scale features with AM comes with challenges ...

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: 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. ...

Abstract: As turbine inlet temperatures continue to increase for modern gas turbine engines, the lifing of hot section components operating in a range of environments is becoming increasingly challenging. Engine operations in harsh ...
