Study of Axial-Flow Turbine : Rotating Test of Highly-Loaded Cascades

Entropy Generation in a Highly-loaded, Axial Turbine

by Ethan Perez Entropy generation in a highly-loaded, axial turbine stage was investigated at on and off-design conditions. Deviation angle, total pressure, total temperature, and specific entropy change were measured experimentally and used as validation for a RANS simulation. A RANS entropy transport model was proposed in order to decompose entropy transport into reversible and irreversible c...

Investigation of Sweep Applied to Rotating Axial Cascades and Numerical Simulations of Flow

This paper presents an original approach regarding the application of sweep to rotating blade cascades. The justification for swept blades is given by its consequence, i.e. a reduction of local velocity (usually from supersonic/ transonic to subsonic regimes) such that the losses due to shock waves and/or boundary layer displacement and/or followed by reattachment are minimized. As study cases ...

Rotating Stall in Axial Flow Compressors

Ever increasing demand of higher pressure ratio of aero-engine compressors has always been hindered by two distinct aerodynamic instabilities. The first known as surge is; large one dimensional periodic mass flow fluctuation through the compressor, which involves the entire pumping system including compressor, ducting, plenum and throttle. The second is the rotating stall which can be character...
