The article contains the results of validation of the numerical computational models of the uncooled turbines of gas turbine plants created in the software suite NUMECA. The findings of the study of impact of the computational mesh dimension, account of the pre-path cavities on the design characteristics of turbines by modeling are represented in this article. As a result, there have been devel...

The confluence of market demand for greatly improved compact power sources for portable electronics with the rapidly expanding capability of micromachining technology has made feasible the development of gas turbines in the millimeter-size range. With airfoil spans measured in 100’s of microns rather than meters, these “microengines” have about 1 millionth the air flow of large gas turbines and...

A novelty detection approach to condition monitoring of aerospace gas-turbine engines is presented, providing a consistent framework for onand off-line analysis, each with differing typical implementation constraints. On-line techniques are introduced for observing abnormality in engine behaviour during aircraft flights, and are shown to provide early warning of engine events in real-time. Off-...

A problem of interest to aircraft engine maintainers is the automatic detection, classification, and prediction (or prognosis) of potential critical component failures in gas turbine engines. Automatic monitoring offers the promise of substantially reducing the cost of repair and replacement of defective parts, and may even result in saving lives. Current processing for prognostic health monito...
