The efficiency assessment of a high-pressure turbine (HPT) stage is complicated by the presence of upstream and downstream purge flows. In fact, the efficiency calculation is often based on mass flow-averaged values of total temperature at the stage inle...

The purpose of the paper is to characterize the aerodynamic behavior of a rotor-downstream hub cavity rim seal in a high-pressure turbine (HPT) stage. The experimental data are acquired in the Transonic Test Turbine Facility at the Graz University of Tec...

During the development stage of a space vehicle, instrumented tests are carried out on the ground to prove the operational capacity of each liquid-propellant rocket engine, which is installed in this type of vehicle. The task of elaborating a Test Bench ...

Off-design condition of a rotor blade cascade with and without platform cooling was experimentally investigated. The ability of the gas turbine to operate down to 50% to 20% of its nominal intake air flow rate has an important consequence in the change i...

Design of cooling systems for rotor platforms is critical due to the complex flow field and heat transfer phenomena related to the secondary flow structures originating at the blade leading edge. Horseshoe vortex and passage vortex are the fluid-dynamic ...

In this study, the sealing of a large-aperture channel for high-power laser transmission is achieved using an aerodynamic window. Further, a numerical model of the gas and dust particle motion in the channel is established under three different blowing s...

An investigation of hot gas ingestion driven by the disc pumping effect in a chute seal was conducted at the Oxford Rotor Facility. Measurements of mean pressure, unsteady pressure and gas concentration have been logged and analysed under different opera...

Ingress is the penetration of a hot mainstream gas in a turbine annulus through the rim seal into the wheel-space between the rotating turbine disc (the rotor) and the adjacent stationary casing (the stator). Purge flow is used to prevent or reduce ingre...

Flow within the space between the rotor and stator of a turbine disk, and an area referred to as the rim seal cavity, develops azimuthal velocity component from the rotor disk. The fluid within develops unsteady structures that move at a fraction of the ...

During the shutdown of a gas turbine, natural convection flows occur inside of the engine casing. These natural convection flows cause the top of the engine casing to cool more slowly than the bottom of the casing. This non-uniform cooling can cause the ...
